Nova Charge Hub App and Business Portal Services

  1. The Nova Charge Hub App (“App”) and the Nova Charge Hub Business Portal (“Business Portal”) are designed to be used in conjunction with the EV Charger.
    1. The App can be downloaded free of charge from your app store and is subject to separate Terms of Use. The App has two functions:
      1. If you have purchased an EV Charger from Nova, you will be able to connect to your EV Charger remotely to monitor and control your EV’s charging (“Charger Control”)
      2. You will be able to find and use Nova’s or Nova’s approved third-party providers’ EV charging stations around New Zealand to charge an EV, and you pay using a credit debit card you have loaded on the App (“Find and Pay Function”).
    2. The App’s Charger Control functions will be made available free of charge to purchasers of EV Chargers under this Offer while the purchaser remains a residential electricity customer or business electricity customer of Nova. However, if you switch away or end your electricity supply with Nova for any reason, the App’s Charger Control may be disabled at our sole discretion (but you will still be able to use the App’s Find and Pay Function).
    3. The Business Portal is only available to business customers on a paid subscription basis and is subject to a separate Licence and Subscription Agreement.
    4. The Business Portal allows business customers the ability to remotely access and self-manage their EV Chargers, enabling them to:
      • Review EV charger usage in real time
      • Schedule private, semi-public, or public access to their charge points
      • Remotely lock and unlock their chargers
      • Decide who gets to charge and how much they pay
      • Get real time notifications on charging sessions
    5. If you switch away or end your business’s electricity supply with Nova for any reason, access to the Business Portal will be revoked at the end of the relevant paid subscription period at our sole discretion.
  2. Once an EV Charger has been installed, it will be activated by the installer, and you may remotely access the EV Charger via the App (subject to agreeing to the App’s Terms of Use) and/or the Business Portal if you are a business customer (subject to entering a separate Licence and Subscription Agreement with us).
