"This increasing number of imported used vehicles will diversify the range of EVs on offer and make them more affordable and accessible for a wider range of people and businesses," Bridges said in a statement. The number of electric vehicles (EVs) registered in New Zealand during 2016 has reached 1,003, twice the number in the whole of the previous year, according to Transport Minister Simon Bridges. The figures are good news for the government, which aims to have 64,000 EVs on its roads by 2021. Bridges said that while there were still a few issues with registering and testing new vehicles, he was pleased at how quickly things had progressed.
