What Thundergrid does

Thundergrid is a New Zealand-headquartered (Wellington) end-to-end electric vehicle charging solutions provider operating across Australia and New Zealand, structured as part of the Landis+Gyr group. The company delivers smart EV charging infrastructure to businesses, commercial property owners, fleet operators, tourism and hospitality providers, heavy-vehicle operators, and residential customers, spanning workplace, public, fleet, depot, and apartment use cases. Its core products and technology include the proprietary INCH-branded smart chargers (INCH Pro and INCH Duo), a distributed portfolio of Autel, Delta, and Teltonika hardware, the Linyang Power-Key 254 energy storage cabinet, and a cloud-based charge point management platform supporting OCPP 1.6J/2.0.1 interoperability. A key technical differentiator is its dynamic/adaptive load management system, which uses real-time energy meter and CT data to modulate charging power across multiple stations to prevent overloading of building distribution boards and the wider grid, complemented by a backbone electrical infrastructure design that allows future expansion without rewiring.

Thundergrid monetizes through five primary revenue streams: hardware sales (AC and DC chargers, accessories, energy storage), software and subscriptions (charge point management, One-off Payment QR-based credit card processing, access control, reporting), managed services (24/7 help desk, monitoring, maintenance, billing, compliance), professional services (design, installation, commissioning, project management), and Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) financing. Pricing is partially disclosed for hardware on its e-commerce storefront (NZD and AUD, GST inclusive), with bespoke enterprise quotes for larger deployments. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct field sales and consultative selling for enterprise and mid-market B2B customers, consultation-based lead capture via the website, the Thundergrid Academy education platform, industry events (e.g., IRTENZ Conference 2025), and an e-commerce channel for SMB and prosumer buyers. The company has offices in Wellington (NZ) and Mascot, NSW (Australia), and counts Wellington International Airport, NZTA, MPI, Moore Wilson's, and All Seasons Rotorua among its named customers.
