Hon MICHAEL WOOD: As of the end of January, there have been over 10,700 electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles registered since the scheme was introduced in July last year. To put that into context, 2021 saw more electric vehicles registered than the entire period from 2013 to 2018, and about one in four electric vehicles on the road today have been registered since the Clean Car Discount took effect in July. As a result of this, the new passenger vehicle segment has already achieved the standards' 2023 target across the fleet, a year ahead of schedule. To support this increased uptake, public EV charging has also become much more accessible, with charging stations available on average every 75 kilometres over 97 percent of the State highway network. This programme is already delivering results. It's helping Kiwis get into cleaner vehicles, it's stopping us becoming a dumping ground, and it's actually a sign of this Government's commitment to not just talking about climate change but doing something about it.
