State of our roads.

Even if NZ has thousands of EVs , they are going to have to be recharged, oh wait we need to burn coal to create the electricity to do that because the infrastructure we have in this country certainly wont be able to cope with all the extra power.

You're living in the past with that comment. Our two EVs mostly run on sunshine, or when the sun doesn't do the job we charge off peak when grid generation is in surplus and prices cheaper.

Of course you would charge off peak power when the price is cheaper, but the power still has to be generated doesnt it?

New Zealand burned more coal for electricity production in the first quarter of this year than any quarter in nearly a decade. The revelation comes the day after a "transformational" climate change report that slated successive governments for its inaction on reducing greenhouse gas emissions that continue to rise.
