Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): I've seen some excellent recent reports which show that the Clean Car Discount scheme is progressing very well, with over 19,500 rebates already processed. In just its first year, the scheme has proven a huge success with more than 57,000 light electric and non – plug-in hybrid vehicles registered, and in some recent months around about 45 percent of imports into New Zealand being low- or zero-emissions vehicles. Importers are responding to the surge in demand, and we're seeing a greater number and a greater range of low-emissions vehicles across all types for Kiwis. By choosing to purchase electric vehicles, New Zealanders are collectively helping our nation to transition to a cleaner, more efficient vehicle fleet. Our world is experiencing a climate crisis, and while some oppose any change to reduce emissions, our Government is acting.
