        Electric Vehicles Programme New Zealand

        New Zealand is well placed to benefit from electric vehicles. More than 80 percent of electricity is generated from renewable sources and there is enough supply for widespread adoption of EVs. Even if every light vehicle was electric, there is sufficient generation capacity to charge these provided the majority are charged at off-peak times.
        High renewable energy levels mean that the emission reduction benefits of electric vehicles in New Zealand are greater than in most other countries, producing 80 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

        The New Zealand Waste Strategy

        The New Zealand Waste Strategy outlines the Government's strategic direction for waste management and minimisation in New Zealand.
        The New Zealand Waste Strategy 2002 was reviewed and replaced by the New Zealand Waste Strategy 2010.

        Reduce the harmful effects of waste;
        Improve the efficiency of resource use.

        The strategy’s two goals provide direction to central and local government, businesses (including the waste industry…
