READ MOREBuying an Electric Car in New Zealand (2024) At the end of 2023, there were over 100,000 plug-in cars on New Zealand roads. Of those plug-ins, 73% of them were fully electric. The EV has moved out of the early adopter phase, and is slowly moving into the early majority. However, there is a lot to learn, and a lot of differences over the
READ MOREHowever, for charging the EV, electrical energy is required that may be produced from renewable sources, e.g., from hydroelectric, wind, solar or biogas power plants (Kiehne, 2003). EVs are not only a road vehicle but also a new technology of electric equipment for our society, thus providing clean and efficient road transportation.
READ MORETransport makes up 21% of the country''s carbon footprint, and most of that comes from the light vehicle fleet – cars, vans and utes. In 2019, light vehicles were responsible for almost 11MtCO 2 e emissions.. By the end of this decade more than 50% of monthly vehicle sales in New Zealand need to be electric in order to meet our emissions reductions targets.

READ MOREEVs have maximum power from a standing start. They can accelerate quickly, and currently, New Zealand''s fastest street-legal car for a quarter-mile is an electric car beating all V8s.The fastest production EV is a Tesla P100D which quietly reaches 100 km/hr in 2.5 seconds (Ludicrous Mode – Tesla Model S).
READ MORENew Zealand is well placed to benefit from electric vehicles. More than 80 percent of electricity is generated from renewable sources and there is enough supply for widespread adoption of EVs. Even if every light vehicle was electric, there is sufficient generation capacity to charge these provided the majority are charged at off-peak times.

READ MOREThe cost of charging an EV. The cost of charging an electric car depends on how much you drive. If you''re like most Kiwis, who average around 25-35km of driving per day, it''ll cost around $3 per 100km (the equivalent to paying $0.30 for a litre of petrol) to charge at home. If you''re fast charging, that can go up to around $10 for 100km.
