Welcome to the November EVs and Beyond magazine
Santa is already bringing gifts for some ahead of Christmas.
At least, it’s the Government-backed Low Emission Transport Fund dishing out the largesse with $2.14 million going to 11 projects detailed in this issue.
They include marine applications, EV car share, portable high-power EV charging for events and emergencies, other rapid charging, freight, making a SwitchMyFleet product more suitable for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and an e-truck with electric hydraulic arm.
A stack of EV reviews feature, plus we outline NHP’s promotion of the Delta-Everty EV charging bundle in New Zealand which includes three-months free software usage, the CardSmart fuel card adding EV charging, and Time magazine’s best inventions list which includes ABB’s Terra 360 flexible high-powered charger and Sparky the Ports of Auckland electric tugboat.
Check out Auckland’s eBike Expo and moves to make e-mobility more accessible to commuters to help save using the car.
We also report on Jolt NZ and Mitre 10’s partnership to enable free EV charging at the latter’s stores with the opening of the first one.
EV dealers around the country are seeing how things are shaping up with the 50,000 EV target nearing. We canvass their views on how the economic situation will impact them – all ready for sales when the fuel excise duty subsidy comes off early next year and the Clean Car Standard fees on high polluting new and used imported vehicles kick in from June 1 next year.
Visit our dealer pages for your next EV, view our EV Directory and see our map for EV charging sites.
