Future Mobility Participants
Mobility meets community energy.
Future Mobility Participants are households, businesses, and fleet operators helping test how electric transport can strengthen local energy systems. From electric vehicles and e-bikes to smart charging and vehicle-to-home connections, these participants explore the next step in community-powered living.
The relationship between solar generation and electric vehicles is a natural one — both use clean energy, both rely on battery storage, and together they can dramatically reduce transport costs while improving community resilience. Integrating electric transport into the WE Share Community Power framework is a core pillar of how local energy and mobility systems evolve together.
How it works in WE Share
- Participate in vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) testing, allowing stored energy from EVs to support household or local backup needs.
- Join the pilot’s integrated time-of-charge program, aligning EV charging with solar generation and community energy availability to lower costs and reduce grid strain.
- Trial smart charging systems that respond to local signals — charging when renewable generation is high and community demand is low.
- Collaborate with innovation and flexibility partners to shape future-ready mobility standards for community energy projects across Aotearoa.
Why participate
Future Mobility Participants are helping build the link between clean transport and clean energy. Your involvement helps test how shared charging, storage, and flexibility can reduce carbon emissions, improve grid efficiency, and strengthen Waiheke’s energy independence.
Imagine a future where you can plug in your EV anywhere on Waiheke — at a community-owned charging hub — and use power generated from your own solar system to recharge, free or at a reduced cost. That’s the vision WE Share is building toward: a local, circular energy system where transport and power truly belong to the community.
