New Plymouth's EV charging
Just this morning I was chatting with an out of province EV driver who was commenting on the lack of public EV charging facilities in New Plymouth. Then tonight on Newshub it seems that this issue is not an isolated case. www.newshub.co.nz...
The dinosaur who voiced "Petrol forever" during the NPDC meeting where Tesla's proposal to install a bank of fast chargers in a NPDC carpark was turned down together with our short sighted Council are quickly becoming an embarrassment in respect of their shortsightedness over EV uptake.
No real issue for those of us who own EVs here in the New Plymouth area as we charge at homebefore embarking on our out of town journeys, and then again when we get home, but as per this morning's discussion those who visit here see us as an underdeveloped backwater, if they don't just divert their travels to avoid Taranaki. Intending New Plymouth EV owners please note that most of us undertake around 90% of our charging at home so this issue is only relevant when out of province trips are planned.
