Electric vehicles have charged up for at least 2300km of driving distance in Dunedin in the past six weeks, Delta figures show.
A fast charger for electric vehicles was opened at Delta's Dunedin property in Filleul St on February 29.
Since then, there had been an average of 10 charges a week, Delta marketing and communications manager Gary Johnson said.
The 60 charges consumed 360kWh of power, he said.
The figures did not take into account charges of less than one minute.
As of last month, there were 23 light electric vehicles registered in Otago.
Light electric vehicles include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
It took about 20 minutes to charge a vehicle to 80% at Delta's 32-amp high-power fast charger, which would be free to use until February next year.
However, that was not the only place vehicles could be charged.
There were various public 15-amp chargers across Dunedin, mostly at public parks, and vehicles could also be charged using any 8-amp household wall socket.
That took about five or six hours.
The second annual Leading The Charge road trip, which promotes the technology, is scheduled to be in Dunedin between 8am and noon on April 21.
The road trip left Cape Reinga on Wednesday and is due to finish in Bluff on April 22.
Five cars of various models are making the trip down the country, while others would join the convoy along the way.
