Sri Lanka is the only other country that does this to any extent. For EVs, it means we can benefit from other countries' subsidies. For example a used 2016 30kWh Leaf costs around US$18K while a new 2017 PHEV Outlander costs US$42K. In the year to date 1429 used BEVs and 189 used PHEVs were imported, the vast majority (1230) being Nissan Leafs. If this keeps up the EV market share may exceed 1% for 2017. We love cars - 300,000 cars imported in the past 12 months - but we are only just learning to love EVs. <br /><br />http://www.transport.govt.nz/research/newzealandvehiclefleetstatistics/monthly-electric-and-hybrid-light-vehicle-registrations-dec-2016/<br />Robert McLachlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524329737512668181noreply@blogger.com
