WHY TRANSITION TO

ELECTRIC?

E-MOBILITY IS BETTER FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT

Fossil-fuel reliant transport is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and the acceleration of climate change. Transitioning to an EV cuts individuals’ CO2 emissions by 80%.

Electric vehicles have a significantly lower environmental impact – from manufacture to operational life to disposal – than fossil-fuel transport.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES REDUCE
COSTS IN THE LONG TERM

The cost of charging an EV in NZ is equivalent to paying around 30c/litre of petrol. There are less maintenance costs associated with electric vehicles and they are steadily becoming cheaper to buy up front as battery technology improves and competition increases.

E-MOBILITY IS BETTER FOR HEALTH

Electric vehicles generate significantly less chemical and physical pollutants. More electric transport means quieter, cleaner cities and a healthier population.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES MAKE SENSE FOR NEW ZEALAND

Decarbonised transport is crucial in helping NZ meet its emissions reduction obligations. Given that 84% of our electricity (and counting) comes from renewable sources, an EV charged in New Zealand is responsible for even less emissions than in many countries run on ‘dirtier’ grids.

Increased e-mobility uptake would mean we spend less on fossil fuels and become more energy independent. EVs are more consistent with our ‘clean green’ image globally and enable us to present ourselves as a forward-thinking nation. Our charging infrastructure is rapidly improving and consumer incentives are making EVs more accessible and practical in New Zealand than ever.

EVENTS

Every Drive Electric event is an opportunity to become part of a better New Zealand transport future and connect with other key players in the e-mobility industry.
