Plug into the future this Drive Electric Week
It's Drive Electric Week, a worldwide celebration to heighten awareness of the widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-Electric Vehicles (EVs).
This week there are events happening around New Zealand to celebrate and we'll be bringing one of our vehicles along to the public Ride ‘n’ Drive Day on Sunday 17 September. It’s an opportunity for people to see, ride in, or drive an EV and to talk to an EV owner about why they love their EV. Check out the full scope of events at The Better NZ Trust - Leading The Charge.
As an organisation that is confronting the impacts of climate change in all of our work, we understand the urgency with which a transition to a low carbon economy must be achieved. That’s why we are doing what we can to reduce our own emissions.
One of the ways that we are doing this is though prioritising the purchase of EVs when we buy new vehicles. We now have a fleet of 8 electric vehicles! And it will only grow over time.
