Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): The clean car discount has made it more affordable for New Zealanders to buy electric and low-emission vehicles. Over 12,000 approved rebates were paid between 1 July last year and 1 April this year. From 1 April, the rebates have become available to a wider range of used and new fuel-efficient hybrid and electric vehicles. In the one week period from 1 April, 4,264 light vehicles were registered, and of that number, 3,245 have been eligible for a rebate. Of that total number of 4,264, there have be 115 enquiries as to the rebate or fee level, and 57 of those have been resolved. The majority of issues are with some used vehicles which come in from Japan, which sometimes have incomplete or inaccurate datasets, and Waka Kotahi have been working very quickly to resolve them. Overall, I'm very satisfied that in spite of some of these bedding-in issues, that the Clean Car Discount scheme is providing a large number of discounts to New Zealanders, it's playing an important role in reducing our emissions, and that stands in mark contrast to the National Party whose transport policy in response to the climate emergency is to build more roads, and according to Mr Luxon today, to increase public transport fares.
