New incentives mean buying an EV is more affordable, with a rebate of up to $8,625* and an exemption from road user charges.
They’re cheaper in the long run as well. Depending on your electricity supplier and when you charge your EV, you could pay the equivalent of between 24 and 40 cents a litre for fuel. Plus, maintenance costs are low.

Thanks to New Zealand’s renewable energy capabilities, switching to an EV from a petrol or diesel car cuts your CO2 emissions by up to 80%.
