Thread: Govt Announcement on EV versus petrol today

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political...ybrid-vehicles

I'm holding onto my petrol 4wd as long as i can. But they will probably make it harder at the pump - up she goes?

Are EV's able to tow trailers yet? I.E Tow my ATV?

electric motors have amazing torque from standstill right up the rev range, but as with all things the heavier the load the more power consumed.
and current battery technology and the ability to charge them make them a stupid idea in nz

this goes a fair way to explain it

I know the f150 lightning has a tow capacity but unsure how bad it will effect the millage

Shaw said the last time there was carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the concentrations present today, there were palm trees in Antarctica.
Did he take photos.

And if that's the case , why aren't there any there now ?
What a crock....

And somehow I doubt manufacturers will be rushing to make new ev utes just because NZ might have a market for a couple of them...

He forgot to mention Antarctica was at or near the equator at the time.

I had a week long trial of a Kona EV - favourably impressed, but can't afford one.

It would tow your loaded trailer.

So the gov donate 8k towards ev,what about the other 50k.

So they intend penalsing all of us on low incomes to subsidise the rich. Bloody great.
