Conclusion
25
Market New Zealand’s fleet is old, inefficient and in need of change EVs are currently too expensive, and the pay-back period too long despite lower operational costs
26
Policy Tax reductions and price subsidies are widely used worldwide but are too expensive to justify in New Zealand The short-term focus should be on improving fuel economy regulations and educating consumers
27
Environment EVs can achieve considerable GHG emission reductions in a green power system like New Zealand’s Greatest short-term impact of a transition to EVs will be a decrease in local air pollution and a resulting improvement in public health
