EVtalk magazine is available for download now!
Welcome to a charged-up November issue of EVtalk.
We’ve been told to become more like Norway in Meridian Energy’s EV campaign.
So here’s a chance to compare, with Norwegian EV owners group leader Christina Bu in the country for talks and events, hosted by Drive Electric, Meridian Energy and EECA.
Women are setting the pace in many aspects of EV innovation.
Take Eva Hakansson, for instance, one of the fastest women on the planet with her KillaJoule land-speed record setting three-wheel electric motorcycle.
Hakansson now lectures on mechanical engineering at the University of Auckland after falling in love with our country. Passionate about EVs and helping the planet, Hakansson uses KillaJoule to show the potential of battery power and to encourage girls and women into science and technology careers.
You can see the bike and the husband and wife team behind it at Big Boys Toys in Auckland from November 16-18.
They’ll be among the many displays at the inaugural “Electric Avenue”, also featured in this magazine.
Another first is the eBike Expo on November 10 and 11, also in Auckland.
It’s got everything to you need to know about electric bikes, along with a few e-scooters and skateboards.
The season of shows continues with the first EVworld South conference and expo in Christchurch on November 23 and 24.
It’s based on the success of the two EVworld annual events in Auckland.
EV interest has definitely soared in the wake of fuel price rises.
Encouraging EV uptake, companies like Synlait are even providing free chargers for staff, and Waste Management is stepping up to the mark with its electrification programme.
We have the BMW i8 review and there’s the power deals, latest EV stats and more.
