More than 90% of such vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines burning oil-derived fuels. The difference these policies can make, if applied in a multi-pronged strategy, can already be seen in countries that strongly support the use of alternative-fuel vehicles, such as China, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.

Norway leads electric vehicle (EV) adoption, boasting the highest share of new EV purchases worldwide. Its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) back in the 1990s were around 51.7

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). Here’s what we discovered. WHAT EV MYTHS HAVE WE COVERED?
