In New Zealand, an electric vehicle emits 80% less CO2 than an equivalent petrol vehicle because more than 80% of New Zealand's electricity is generated from renewable sources (hydro, wind and geothermal). This means the environment benefits of driving EVs are greater here than in most other countries.
Even when you take into account raw material extraction, battery manufacturing, vehicle manufacturing and shipping, battery vehicles still offer significant advantages over ICE (internal combustion engine) cars. Over their full life cycle, EVs emit 60% fewer climate change emissions than petrol vehicles.
Additionally, the running cost of a battery-only EV is considerably less than a petrol, diesel or hybrid car. The cost of charging an EV is equivalent to paying 30c per litre for petrol. What's more, EV maintenance costs are low because electric motors have few moving parts.
If you need any more reasons to switch from ICE to EV, just take an electric vehicle for a spin. They are a pleasure to drive - smooth, quiet and fast.
