Supporting the uptake of zero-emission public transport buses.
Public transport decarbonisation
The Government plans to significantly increase the number of public electric vehicle chargers across New Zealand, aiming for a network of 10,000 public charge points by 2030.
Concerns about ‘range anxiety’ and the availability of publicly accessible charge points continue to be barriers to electrifying the vehicle fleet. Accelerating the rollout of public charging infrastructure can address these barriers and enable electric vehicle uptake.
