32. Conclusion

33. 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

34. Policy Tax reductions and price subsidies are commonly 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

35. Environment EVs can achieve considerable GHG emission reductions in a green power system like New Zealand’s The main focus worldwide should be increasing the use of renewable energy and preparing the grid so that when the time comes for EVs we are well-prepared
