I have to smile at the use of ‘selective facts’ when it comes to discussing the feebate scheme. This morning a commentator was talking about collecting “a quarter of a billion dollars from high emission vehicles that can’t possibly be spent on the small number of EVs sold in NZ.” Conveniently forgetting about the PHEV and HEV (from next year) that also qualify for a slice of the quarter billion.

I have been taking a note of the new price of various low emission vehicles and will be interested to see how much the RRP increases when rebate is widely available. Hopefully the government has a bureaucrat monitoring it to call them out. As reported it already has for used imports.
