A good example of this was on the Mount Wellington Highway in Auckland in 2018, when a car collided with a power pole which not only left 1,416 customers without power but where the electrical response crew was stuck in traffic trying to respond, with a delayed response due to traffic, as the incident took place at 4.40 p.m. in Auckland, one of the busiest times on the roads in Auckland. Another example was in the Auckland suburb of Saint Johns, where there was a fire in an electricity pole on one of Vector's electricity assets. Whilst there was minimal disruption to the electricity supply for customers at the time, there was a wider safety risk with the electricity assets being on fire. In this case, the incident took place in the morning, with the response vehicles taking over an hour to be able to get there due to the morning commute.
