Did you know that the government would like to have 64,000 Electric Vehicles registered in New Zealand by the end of 2021? So, you may ask, where are all these EVs going to be charging? The ‘good’ news is that Good Electrical are able to provide power to domestic EV Charging Stations. Refuelling' your electric car can be as simple as plugging it into a standard socket. However there are several domestic EV Charging Stations available on the market which provide fast energy-efficient charging, and Good Electrical’s licenced electricians can provide power to your EVSC.

There are many advantages to buying an electric vehicle, the most obvious one being they are so much cheaper to run. The cost of charging an EV is equivalent to paying around 30 cents per litre for petrol. Also, you can charge up at home, EVs can be charged anywhere there is a power point, just like charging your cellphone. You can wake up to a ‘full tank’ every morning by plugging in at home, and never have to go out of your way to a petrol station again.

Another advantage is that BEVs don’t have a tailpipe and produce no exhaust emissions that cause local air pollution, and are quieter than petrol or diesel vehicles. There is also significant reduction in emissions because 80% of New Zealand’s electricity is generated from renewable sources. There are also many other advantages to using this home-grown energy compared with using imported fossil fuels.

Evs are more efficient and can convert well over 90% of energy from their batteries into moving the car. This compares to 20% - 30% energy conversion for a petrol or diesel vehicle. In 2015, EECA commissioned a lifecycle analysis of the environmental impact of EVs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles (petrol and diesel). The report confirmed EVs are better for the New Zealand environment than petrol or diesel powered vehicles, across the lifecycle of the vehicle as well as in use.
