Who is buying EVs?
Fast charge around NZ »Most EV charging happens at home - overnight slow charging is best »Now over 125 public fast chargers for longer journeys, couriers, taxis »Tesla also has its own fast charge network »Apps like Plugshare, ChargeNet or Vector show EV charging stations

Opportunities for EVs: public transport buses »100% battery electric buses now operating in Auckland and Wellington »Includes New Zealand manufactured e-buses with Chinese drive train technology »Improves air quality in cities
Opportunities for EVs: intra-regional freight »78% of freight movements (million tonnes, all modes) are within regions »Road User Charges exempted for heavy EVs until heavy EVs are 2% of heavy vehicle fleet Sources: http://www.transport.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/Research/Docume nts/National-Freight-Demand-Study-Mar-2014.pdf Table 3 https://www.transport.govt.nz/multi- modal/climatechange/electric-vehicles/
What’s coming next: electric ferries » Two large 100% electric ferries are operating for the 4 km between Helsingør (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden), carrying 7.4 million passengers and 1.9 million vehicles annually
100% electric, autonomous container ship »Construction is underway in Norway: launch planned 2019, autonomous operation from 2022 »Will replace 40,000 diesel truck trips per year
Short range electric passenger aircraft »Avinor, Norway’s airports operator, has a target for the first commercial electric flight in 2025 and all domestic aviation to be electric by 2040
Electric autonomous air taxis »Kitty Hawk’s Cora is a two- seat, fully autonomous, vertical take-off and landing electric aircraft »Backed by Google co- founder Larry Page, it is being developed in California, with flight test operations taking place in New Zealand
What you can do now
»Test drive an EV if you haven’t driven one yet
»Try out an EV through car share companies like Mevo in Wellington
and Yoogo in Christchurch, CityHop in Auckland, or from rental car
companies like Europcar, Blue Cars and Snap Rentals
»Consider buying an EV for your company fleet
