EV pricing in 2024 is as low as it has ever been. This is the consequence of high dealer stock levels in the final quarter of 2023, followed by a drop in demand in 2024 (for various reasons).
This has resulted in substantial discounting. The prices listed below are for brand-new vehicles, but many dealers have ex-demo cars at even lower prices.
These vehicles are flowing into the secondhand market, leading to a diverse offering of EVs at much lower prices.

What is the cheapest electric vehicle with the longest range?
Comparing an EV’s range (WLTP) to its price allows for an assessment of its value in terms of price per km.
Range (the distance the car will go on a single charge) is an important factor to consider, depending on the type of driving you do.
The comparison chart shows that sometimes it’s worth paying extra for a larger battery and that the cheapest variant isn’t necessarily the cheapest in terms of range.

Are EVs cheap to run?
Fully electric vehicles have significantly lower maintenance costs and are substantially cheaper to ‘fuel up’. As most EV owners charge their vehicles at home, it’s essential to shop around for the power plan that suits best.
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home in NZ?
It depends on your power plan and the EV you own. At a unit price of 0.25 per kWh, charging at home costs around $4.00 per 100 km of travel.
Some electricity providers offer free hours or heavily discounted night rates, lowering costs further.

Are EV charging stations free in NZ?
There are two types of charging stations: AC or DC. AC chargers are slower and often found at destinations such as shopping malls and car parks (charge while you are doing something else)
A small portion of these AC charging stations are free. However, they are often very busy.
DC fast charging stations are for your road trip. They are not free. Prices range from $0.50 to $0.85 per kWh, which equates to around $9 to $14.50 per 100 km of travel.
