Fleet electrification

EV adoption continues to grow across New Zealand. While uptake has stabilised after the peak incentive period in 2024, momentum remains. Organisations that act early are already seeing gains in cost control, emissions reduction, and future readiness.

Developments in Australia, including the FBT exemption for eligible EVs is speeding up adoption, particularly through salary sacrifice schemes. This shift continues to influence business sentiment in New Zealand, demonstrating how cost-effective an electrified fleet can be.

Every month you delay means higher fuel spend, ongoing emissions, and missed opportunities to prepare your fleet for the future.

Like any major transformation, EV adoption requires careful planning. Organisations need to consider:

• Charging infrastructure gaps, particularly in regional and remote areas.

• Residual value uncertainty as technology evolves and resale markets mature.

• Operational change management to ensure drivers are confident, supported and equipped with the right policies and tools.
