EVTALK magazine available for download now!

The year is kicking off with dates set for EV events you can start looking forward to.

EVworld NZ has a name change to eworld expo and is on October 30-31 at the ASB Showgrounds in Greenlane, Auckland. We look at what the 2020 show will have in store from key electro-mobility and automation solutions.

Meanwhile, our inaugural EVs and Beyond conference on the beautiful Waiheke Island is an event you don’t want to miss! Mark March 16 and 17 on your calendar for the conference and March 14 and 15 for free public open days and displays. We’ve got international guest speakers covering everything EVs.

Our cover features the new Hyundai Ioniq – we check the vehicle out and see how it performs.

Also, transport leaders agree that ditching a fuel tax and introducing road user charges (RUC) for all vehicles, including EVs, is the way forward. We hear from transport minister Phil Twyford and National transport spokesman Chris Bishop about their views on such a move.

Some Japanese automakers are making provocative calls on the future of EVs by suggesting they are a passing fad. EVtalk looks at this issue and asks what it could mean for the future used import supply into New Zealand.

The Aotearoa Bike Challenge, a month-long event encouraging Kiwis to hop on their bikes and e-bikes, is returning this February.

If you’re searching for an EV you can check out some quality used models in our magazine.

We also celebrate early EV adopters that have gone out of their way to promote the vehicles.

And there are our expert columns, a full round-up of stats, and more inside.
