As New Zealand embraces the urgent need for a sustainable future, the automotive industry plays a vital role in shaping how we move and consume energy. This electricity is then used to propel the vehicle’s electric motor and recharge its battery. However, the supply of green Hydrogen is currently limited in New Zealand.

While battery life span varies by manufacturer and age, in general you can expect new batteries to rival and often exceed the longevity of drivetrain components on internal combustion engine (ICE) Vehicles. A lithium-ion battery’s high energy density means it produces more power for its size, making it ideal for an electric car.

That’s because liquified gas has a lower viscosity than carbonate-based electrolytes, which allows the lithium salt to move from one electrode to the other at a faster rate, shortening the time it takes to recharge the battery. Emrgy’s timing takes advantage of the groundwork laid by the solar power industry.

Lithium is commonly used for rechargeable batteries, particularly in Electric Vehicles (EVs). One example of battery technology developments is Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries developed for the solar PV industry, which are now being modified for use in EVs by companies like CATL.

One study found that New York City’s fleet saved 75% in maintenance costs by switching to EVs. Just 20, according to Drive Electric , a New Zealand based EV advocacy group. Lithium-ion batteries can discharge more energy in a single cycle, which means it can recharge less often and therefore last longer.

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. There are thousands of public electric vehicle charging stations across New Zealand.
