Why switch to electric?
Electric cars go easier on your wallet.
As well as reducing fuel costs, electric vehicles can offer lower running and maintenance costs compared with equivalent combustion engine vehicles.
Charging is quick and easy.
You can charge your electric car’s battery almost anywhere: from a 230 V household socket, a wallbox, or at public charging and fast-charging stations. There is one simple rule: the higher the charging power, the faster the charging process. Once you try it, you’ll find it’s almost as easy as charging your smartphone.
No anxiety about long-distance trips.
Modern Škoda EVs offer more than enough driving range for everyday life, from commuting and school runs to weekend getaways and family adventures. If you're travelling further, a growing network of public charging and fast charging stations across New Zealand makes long distance EV travel easier than ever, giving you confidence wherever your journey takes you.
