There's no shortage of comment going on regarding the government's announcement yesterday.
So, does the program go far enough, is it too restrictive (or generous) and how successful will the plan's strategies prove to be?
Personally I see the vehicle scrapping initiative as a move in the right direction but I'm puzzled as to why the government continues to sit on its hands in regard to incentivising domestic PV installation. Distributed generation is a further incentive towards EV uptake while also reinforcing NZ's grid generation capacity and reducing transmission loading losses.
