The average Kiwi drives just 38km per day , so an EV owner can go for at least 10 days without a recharge. Unlike petrol cars where filling up requires a trip to the petrol station, you can recharge at home or anywhere with access to electricity. Avoid deep-discharging your battery pack by doing partial recharges on a frequent basis.

Wires have a lot going for them when it comes to moving electric power around, but they have their drawbacks too. Who, after all, hasn’t tired of having to plug in and unplug their phone and other rechargeable gizmos? Indeed, it’s hard to recharge or power a device when the air gap is just a few centimeters, much less a few meters.
