WHY GO ELECTRIC ?
Electric vehicles are the best, and possibly the only way forward for you and New Zealand.

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’ overall CO2 emissions by 80% on average.
The cost of charging an EV in NZ is equivalent to paying about 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.
Electric vehicles generate significantly less chemical and physical pollutants. More electric transport means quieter, cleaner cities and a healthier population.
Decarbonised transport is crucial in helping NZ meet its emissions reduction obligations, become more energy independent and position ourselves as a ‘clean green’, forward-thinking nation. 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.
All types and sizes of electric vehicles from scooters to cars to heavy trucks offer a quieter ride than their fossil fuel reliant counterparts. With no clutch or gears, acceleration is rapid and smooth. EVs also have a low centre of gravity, making them better to handle and less likely to roll. Transitioning to e-mobility means choosing a safer, quieter, more pleasant journey. Enjoy driving even more with an electric vehicle!
