Drive Electric has released its first ‘State of the Nation’ report, revealing how New Zealand is doing when it comes to electrifying our transport fleet. 

The report reveals that over the last five years, the number of electric cars on the road has increased 9.5 times over, and by 70% in just the last year. 

The Clean Car Program is largely responsible for the uptick in EV ownership, with over 100,000 rebates granted so far. 

Kirstin Corson, Deputy Chair of Drive Electric, told Mike Hosking that there are billions of dollars' worth of savings to be had by enabling kiwis to buy EVs.
