Electrifying Health Helpers

Aotea Electric Marlborough has had the privilege of contributing to a game-changing project for the Marlborough Community Vehicle Trust. The Trust provides transport for local residents to vital medical appointments in their newly donated  Hyundai Kona EV (Nice one, Marlborough Lines and Mayfield Motorworld).

Marlborough District Council, local MP Stuart Smith, local businesses, and Te Whatu Ora have set up a dedicated car park and charging point at Wairau Hospital for the Trust. We worked with the ThunderGrid team to supply and set up the charging point and the connection. Te Whatu Ora confirmed that it will provide free power for the next five years, ensuring the Trust can focus on what it does best—supporting the community.  Job done

Supporting Schools Sports

At Aotea Electric Marlborough we believe that sports are more than just games—they are essential for the healthy development of young children. In an era where screens often dominate attention, we are dedicated to getting kids off their devices and back into the real world, where they can experience the joys of physical activity, teamwork, and face-to-face interactions.

By funding sports programs for young children, we are helping to build a foundation for lifelong health and well-being. These activities encourage kids to be active, which not only benefits their physical health but also supports their mental and emotional development. Sports provide a structured environment where children can learn to set goals, work hard, and overcome challenges. These are critical life skills that will serve them well in all aspects of their lives.

Moreover, our initiatives are about more than just fitness—they’re about community. In our sports programs, children have the opportunity to build new relationships and expand their social circles. Playing on a team teaches them the value of cooperation, communication, and trust. These interactions help develop social skills that are crucial for forming strong, positive relationships throughout their lives.

We’re proud to support programs that allow children to grow, learn, and thrive in a supportive, active environment. Our mission is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to participate in sports, to experience the joy of teamwork, and to develop the social and physical skills that will benefit them for years to come.
