Kirstin Corson: Drive Electric CEO on the changes to the clean car standards
Manage episode 428073089 series 2098280
An EV advocacy group isn’t in favour of the changes to the clean car standards.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown's announced he's scaling back the previous Government's emissions standards, which charged importers for higher emitting vehicles.
Pollution targets for imported vehicles have been reduced, loosening penalties for importers of dirty cars.
Drive Electric Chair Kirstin Corson told Ryan Bridge that we’re heading in the wrong direction.
She said that although the legislation is set to align with Australia, it actually doesn’t.
Corson said that Australia’s penalties are a lot tougher than New Zealand’s, and they also have federal and state incentives in every state, so it’s much more appealing to go EV there.
