GOVT. REBATES FOR EV'S & HYBRID VEHICLES
The Govt. yesterday announced incentives and rebates (in their attempt to lower emissions) for purchasing EV's and Hybrid vehicles but with lots of restrictive provisos. I am curious to know if those rebates and incentives would be enough to make you change from internal combustion to EV or Hybrid.
Personally, it doesn't offer anywhere enough for me to even consider. I believe their offer is pathetic and won't allow many to change because of the cost factors plus that type of vehicle is only in its infancy and there are many unknowns and limitations to be ironed out, let alone the extremely limited charging network.
I am sure one of the Press/Stuff journalists will put up a more comprehensive article.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
