Sales of EVs have gone from a surge to a trickle since the Clean Car Discount was axed. And the introduction of RUCs has further dampened the enthusiasm for electric cars. Meanwhile, many brands have battery powered stock to sell, and so many have a few offers to entice would be buyers. These are the best EV deals in NZ right now.
Mercedes-Benz NZ is offering 25,000kms worth of road user charges for buyers of EVs, which is worth around $1900. Merc is also taking its axe to some of its prices with $9000 off the EQA and EQB, while the EQC gets a haircut to the tune of $29,500. Click here for more details
