Tātaitai Penapena Waka Hiko

He iti ake nui ngā utu whakahaere o ngā waka hiko (EV) i ngā motokā petrol i Aotearoa. Ko tētahi EV noa iti ko te $3–4 ia 100 km mō te hiko (ka utu i te kāinga i te pō tata 25–30 heneti/kWh), ka whakaritea ki te $15–20 ia 100 km mō tētahi motokā petrol e haere ana i ngā utu hinu toharite o Aotearoa tata $3.00/rita. I runga i te 14,000 km ia tau, rite tonu ko te utu hinu EV tata $420–560 ka whakaritea ki te $2,100–2,800 mō te petrol — ko tētahi tiaki o te $1,500–2,000 ia tau mō te hinu anake. He iti ake anō ngā wāhanga neke o ngā EV, nō reira he iti ake ngā utu ratonga (kāore he hurihanga hinu, he māmā ake ngā pēki). I roto i tētahi wā pupuri 10 tau, ka neke atu i te $20,000 ngā tiaki utu whakahaere katoa. Puna: EECA Energywise — EV Running Costs (energywise.govt.nz).

Ko te Whakaheke Utu Motokā Mā (Clean Car Discount) tētahi kaupeka kāwanatanga o Aotearoa i homai ai ngā whakaheke utu mō ngā waka hou me ngā waka haumārū iti-tāhora hei ākiaki i te tango EV me te heke o ngā tāhora kawekawe. I tōna taumata teitei rawa, ko ngā whakaheke utu tae ana ki te $8,625 mō ngā EV hou me te $3,450 mō ngā EV kua whakamahia i tāwāhi. Heoi anō, i whakakōrehia te kaupeka e te kāwanatanga Nāhinara hou i Tīhema 2023, whai hua mai i te 31 o Tīhema 2023. Ko ngā hoko EV hou i muri i tērā rā kāore e tohua mō tētahi whakaheke utu kāwanatanga. Ahakoa tēnei, ka iti tonu ngā utu whakahaere o ngā EV, ā ka hoatu e ngā kaihoko ō rātou ake ākiakinga. Ka tonu te whakarite a te kāwanatanga o Aotearoa kia tutuki ngā tapeke tāhora orowhenua-tapeke Paerewa Motokā Mā mō ngā kaingahoko, e ākiaki tonu ana i te wātea o ngā waka iti-tāhora.

Ko te utu EV i te kāinga i Aotearoa te kōwhiringa utu-hua rawa atu.

Ka rere ngā utu e ai ki ngā rēti o tō kaiwhakarato hiko: ko te utu hiko noho toharite ā-motu tata 32–38 heneti ia kWh (2024–25). Ko te utu i tētahi pūkaha 60 kWh mai i te kore ka taea tata $20–23. Mō ngā 14,000 km ia tau (toharite 18 kWh/100 km), ko te tapeke utu kāinga ā-tau tata $800–950. Ka hoatu ētahi kaiwhakarato i ngā rēti utu EV pō iti ake. Ko te tū i tētahi karawhiu EV kāinga mōtika ka utu $800–2,000 e ai ki tō pānekeneke hiko. Ko ngā karawhiu tere tūmatiti (50–150 kW) tata 45–65 heneti/kWh. Puna: EECA Energywise (energywise.govt.nz).

Kua tipu tere te whatunga utu EV tūmatiti o Aotearoa, ā e ārai ana ināianei i te nuinga o ngā ara matua me ngā pokapū.
