More chargers opening in NZ. Re-capping the stats I did for Australia about the massive untold story of the shift to EVs. Getting fuel tankers and refineries out of commission. These chargers don’t need fuel tankers to fill them, they’re always ‘full’. Electricity travels at the speed of light, through the grid. 1) 65 million TONNES of imported fuel is transported around the country, every year. Mostly by road. 2) That fuel is transported over 15 BILLION kilometres. 3) There are over 2.6 million tanker journeys every year. That's more than 7200 per DAY, on average. All of that traffic will disappear from our roads. And the enormous amount of fuel, just to transport the fuel (how dumb is that).
