Current Discount Programmes

The New Zealand Government has acknowledged the importance of rapid electric vehicle uptake in order to meet our climate obligations and make EVs more financially accessible.

CLEAN CAR DISCOUNT ENDED ON 31 DECEMBER 2023

The Clean Car Discount Scheme was a Governmental initiative to make low emissions vehicles more affordable for New Zealanders and accelerate the decarbonisation of our transport sector.

The discount scheme was based on CO2 emission values; low emission vehicles registered for the first time in New Zealand (between 1 April 2022 and 31 December 2023) were eligible for a rebate, and high emissions vehicles incurred a fee.

The CCD ended on 31 December 2023. You can no longer apply for a rebate.

  • Eligible vehicles registered up to and on 31 December 2023 were able to apply for a rebate. Waka Kotahi is currently processing these rebates.
  • Rebate applications submitted after 11:59pm on 31 December 2023 won’t be accepted.
  • From 1 January 2024, vehicles advertised for sale are required to have new Vehicle Emissions and Energy Economy Labels (VEEEL) generated and displayed without CCD information.
