ELECTRIC VEHICLES EXPLAINED

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

100% ELECTRIC


Fully electric vehicles are a plug-in EV that produce zero emissions. Also known as BEVs (battery electric vehicles) and AEVs (all-electric vehicles), they’re powered solely by electricity using an internal battery. They have regenerative brakes that charge the internal battery and because there’s no fuel engine there’s less engine maintenance. 100% electric EVs have different battery sizes that determine their range. City-dwellers who need less range can benefit from a smaller battery that uses less electricity.

HYBRID

Hybrids or HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles) are a hybrid of two power sources using both a fuel and an electric motor. The electric one initiates then the secondary fuel engine kicks in when higher speeds are needed. Because their fuel tanks are smaller they use 30-60% less fuel than conventional engines. The electric battery is charged solely by the regenerative brakes, therefore no external charging is required. The versatility of hybrids allows you to switch between EV mode for short distances or ECO mode for fuel-efficient motorway driving.

PHEV

These are plug-in hybrids (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). Like hybrids, it has two motors but with an electric battery that is externally charged like fully electric vehicles (BEVs). PHEVs have a smaller battery so their range is smaller but they can save up to 60% in energy costs compared to other hybrids.  PHEVs offer the best of both worlds with the convenience of plug-in electric power and conventional fuel (petrol or diesel). For this reason PHEVs are a popular choice with many of the top brands having these as their signature EV.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES FAQ

HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? WE CAN HELP

FAQ's

How long does it take to charge a battery?

Depending on the battery size, how depleted it is, your vehicle's maximum charging rate and the power of the charge outlet, it can take as little as 30 minutes up to 40 hours. Ask your dealership about the battery details for specific electric vehicles.

Where can I apply for the Clean Car Rebate?

Where can I apply for the Clean Car Rebate? Go to the following link https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/v2/apply-clean-car-rebate

How do I find public charging stations?

Charging stations near me can be found on a map listing the locations of the public charging stations across the country is available at the NZ Transport Agency. https://www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/ev-chargers/

Can I take my EV on a road trip or through backcountry?

Yes you can, although it’s a good idea to plan your journey ahead of time and map your range and the distance to public charging stations.

What if I run out of charge and can't locate a charge station?

Like when you run out of fuel, if you run out of charge your car will stop. If there is no charge station nearby, you’ll need to arrange for your EV to be towed to a charge station by calling roadside assistance.

Can I charge it at home on a standard power outlet?

Most plug-in EVs come with an AC charging adapter that can be plugged into a home power outlet. It’s important you only use the correct adapter (and not household multi-plugs or double plugs) and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

EV batteries are very durable and usually warrantied for approximately 8 years. Although their range will degrade over time, they can last anywhere from 8-15 years before needing to be replaced. Check with your dealer about a specific EV’s battery and manufacturer’s warranty.

Is the charging safe from electric shocks?

EV batteries are insulated with a fire-resistant and waterproof casing to ensure they are safe from electrical shocks and are protected in the event of a crash.

Do electric vehicles perform as well as petrol vehicles?

With constant technology improvements, EV’s are now easily comparable to conventional fuel vehicles in terms of performance. EV’s have a high torque power so their pick-up is very quick and smoother than a fuel-powered car. Also, EV’s are considered a more comfortable ride due to their effortlessly quiet engine.

How do I charge my EV if I don’t have a garage or driveway?

Most EVs come with a Type 2 CCS charging cable with the option of an AC Type 2 socket, which a lot of public charging stations offer. Talk to your dealer about a longer cable for your EV that you can extend to the street if you don’t have off-street parking. If that’s not an option you can use public charging stations.
