New Zealand Electric Vehicle Market Rises from the Depths! (CHARTS)
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New Zealand's EV market penetration has climbed back to nearly 30% in recent months after collapsing to 2% in January 2024 following a government policy reversal; battery electric car sales are up 231% year-over-year, and plug-in vehicle sales have nearly doubled.
The recovery follows a severe policy-induced crash, but the rebound demonstrates EV demand persists even without subsidies when fuel costs remain high.
