The new scrap-and-replace scheme will cost $569 million, subsidising low and middle income families to ditch their clunkers for an EV.
In the new scheme, the Government would help Kiwis 'scrap' their old cars with a rebate to help buy new electric vehicles.
people could receive a rebate of between $6000 to $10,000 per vehicle.
Looking on Trademe at EVs you would need a damn sight more than $6000 to $10000 the government are offering, most EVs start at about $20000 upward so I would like to see a large family on the breadline afford one of those, hell even I couldn't afford one and Im on my own. I think the whole thing is ridiculous its just the Greens trying to make a name for themselves in my opinion.
If things were just left alone Im sure that in the scheme of things that in the future New Zealanders would probably do the EV thing as a matter of course anyway.
Another question is how much carbon related solid energy fuel is used to make one car?
