International evidence demonstrates that a Clean Vehicle Standard and Clean Vehicle Discount, including the feebate mechanism, should rapidly accelerate the uptake of zero emissions vehicles in New Zealand.

The Electric Vehicle Council is calling for EV incentives to be linked to fuel efficiency standards as it ramps up its pressure on the Federal Government to introduce CO2 emissions standards.

The Mercedes-Benz EQE has gone on sale in Australia with three model variants priced from $134,900 before on-road costs. Mercedes-Benz quotes a driving range of 626km, although that’s using the less relevant NEDC testing standard; the more realistic WLTP range for the EQE300 is 550km from its 89kWh battery pack.

It’s a tempting offer, although the P2’s standard equipment list is skinnier. The Kia also gets the longest standard warranty at seven years, although its battery warranty is also seven years (and 160,000km), which is one year less than that covering the other three on test here. At least some of those really should be standard.

This new approach is not merely an incremental sub-system level change, like setting new vehicle mileage or emission standards, but a whole system change. This sets out US government policy objectives not only to decrease greenhouse gasses, but to be the global EV industrial leader.

With the introduction of the Clean Car Discount in 2022, the skyrocketing prices of petrol and diesel across the country and the increasing number of electric vehicles available in New Zealand, we are seeing more EVs on our roads than ever before. Petrol and diesel vehicles both use internal combustion engines (ICEs).
