Most people I've seen recommend the Tesla Wall Charger 3 for $850 (used to be $800): https://shop.tesla.com/en_nz/product/gen-3-wall-connector---7_3m
as newer car will use CCS2 connection.
To my understanding this wall charger is not intelligent compared to the Evnex or someother ones. I don't have one myself so can't comment.

Cheers for the heads up! Deposit placed on a RWD in Grabber Blue :)
Now just need a home charger - what is the current recommendation?
A home 'charger' (EVSE) input AC current, with the EV doing the inversion to DC via the onboard charger, so CCS connection isn't relevant as this is the connection used for DC
charging. Type 1 vs Type 2 is more the question but AFAIK the only Type 1 connections for NW EVs will be the Japanese imported Leafs.
The choice of an intelligent EVSE vs a basic one like the Tesla one is more important for those with solar as the likes of an Evnex can be programmed to only use electricity from your own 'excess' generation.

More details on the NZ Mustang model runout
https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/360476453/ford-slashes-its-electric-suv-down-under-50k
amazing.
"The cars are supplied straight from the Ford NZ compound in Auckland and have been registered by the distributor, so are effectively coming into the market via the dealer network with an ownership history."
So they likely clipped the ticket and claimed the $7K government rebate on these, :) - be interesting to see the registration dates
The Final wash up of the scheme is fairly telling,
the "Ute tax" recovered less than 1/2 of what was paid out.. it needed over $300 million of Govt money to keep the thing afloat...
There are only five mach-e's listed as demo's on trademe, and all with 4,000+ km which is consistent with demo use.
Here is an example of a pre-reg Model 3 with only 10 km on the odometer:
https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/ford/mustang/listing/4986167867
Note the 2024 registration year meaning no rebate eligibility.
Also note how registrations in the last couple of months have well exceeded that in late 2023:
Yeah the clear car discount (Ute Tax) was quite a mess. Predicting what consumers are going to do is hard, and we got it badly wrong. Pouring $300m into new (to NZ) cars is an appalling use of taxpayer money, and subsidizing private cars is the last thing we should be doing from an environmental perspective.
Should have had the system set up to have automated rebalancing of the scheme at monthly or weekly(smoothed) intervals, to insure it was genuinely self funding.
But the short duration (~2 years) it ran for was part of the issue. People rushed through high emission vehicle purchases prior to it's introduction (or the hike half way through), or deferred then to after it's removal, while Low emissions vehicle buyers did the opposite.
Scrapping the program with short notice (stacked with global economic conditions & EV RUC introduction) has absolutely screwed many EV importers. In this case ford is having to absolutely drop their pants on pricing to clear their EV stock.
There is no way a 198kW RWD Med-Large 5 seat SUV should be selling for the same price as a top spec corolla hybrid (103kW FWD), but here we are.
