EV uptake is chugging along nicely.

Registrations for EVs has increased by 56 percent on previous years, market share has jumped from three percent to eight percent, and EVs made up 20 percent of sales in March and April.

Transport Minister Michael Wood is pleased with the impact the Clean Car Discount scheme is making.

He told Mike Hosking most car manufacturers will have transitioned to zero emission vehicles by 2035.

Wood says as we transition towards that, hybrids are a useful way to lower our emissions.
