Description:

There’s growing conversation around whether electric vehicles could offer a more stable, cost-effective alternative to petrol cars. But while EVs are often positioned as the future of transport, questions remain about whether New Zealand’s infrastructure and electricity system are ready to support widespread adoption.

Producer Pranuja spoke to Professor Nirmal Nair, an expert in energy systems and renewable integration from the University of Auckland, about what rising fuel prices mean for New Zealand, whether EVs are a realistic alternative, and if our grid is ready for the transition.
