Building a Cleaner Future by Unlocking the Power Grid

Kwetta is on a mission to revolutionise EV charging through innovative, grid-optimised solutions that cut costs, boost capacity, and drive the global electrification of heavy transport.

Co-founded by Dr. Robert Turner (PhD, Canterbury), Dustin Murdock (ME, Wisconsin-Madison), and Mike Lazelle (BE, Canterbury), the company combines deep expertise in power systems, hardware deployment, and large-scale grid integrations.

Backed by US$10.5 million in Series A funding led by Blackbird, Virescent Ventures, Icehouse Ventures, and others, Kwetta is rapidly expanding beyond New Zealand, with a special focus on high-capacity truck and bus charging in Europe’s constrained grids.

Their Prime Grid Gateway enables fleet operators to achieve cost-effective, ultra-fast charging without expensive infrastructure overhauls.

But Kwetta is more than cutting-edge tech. It’s a place where visionary engineers, software developers, and entrepreneurs join forces to create tangible impact in global sustainability.

At just 30 team members and growing, you’ll have the chance to shape the product roadmap, directly influence grid decarbonisation, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in clean energy.

Add in a supportive culture, ooted in Kiwi ingenuity, collaborative problem-solving, and a global outlook—and it’s clear why Kwetta stands out as an exciting company to work for, learn from, and help lead into a future powered by zero-emission transport.
