Thinking of going EV?

Join the 30+ New Zealand fleets committed to switching on to EVs by 2019.

EV thought starters

Purpose/range – what role would an EV play in your company’s fleet? How many kilometres is an EV likely to be driven on a weekly basis?

Environmental impact – increasingly, today’s businesses must prove their commitment to tackling climate change and pollution. It’s a powerful public signal that your business cares about these issues and will take action.

Charging – the easiest way to charge your EV would be to install a charging station on your premises. Other ways include charging your EV at one of the many charging stations around New Zealand or at home through a standard power socket.

Upfront cost – EVs are packed full of the latest technology, so they do cost a little more to buy. That said, they do cost a lot less to run and this will pay off in the medium to long run.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles

  • Cheaper to get from A to B – equivalent to paying around 30 centsper litre of petrol

  • Cheaper to maintain – an EV has a lot less moving parts than a conventional petrol/diesel car which means less servicing, and a great deal less maintenance

  • No road user charges –The Government has currently removed road user chargers for EVs and has indicated that it might consider further exemptions and grants

  • Renewable energy – just over 80 percent of the country’s electricity is generated from renewable sources

  •  A lot less CO2 emissions – once on the road, an EV will save about 3,000-5,000kgs of greenhouse gases annually

  • More efficient – EVs use 90% of the energy created whereas petrol/diesel vehicles only use about 30%

  • Reduced noise pollution – EVs are lot quieter than a petrol or diesel vehicle.
