Flip the Fleet Brings EVs to NZ

World-First Community Project Flip the Fleet Works to Boost EV Adoption in NZ

The truth will set you free. Incidentally, this sentiment is the foundation of New Zealand’s Flip the Fleet program. The world-first community project aims to give Kiwis an incentive to drive electric.

Ultimately, the truth about electric vehicles is muddled in Oceania. Both New Zealand and Australia are slow to adopt plug-in vehicles.

Consequently, co-founders Henrik Moller and Dima Ivanov have developed a strategy to change that.

Using Science to Collect and Spread the Truth

Flip the fleetSummarily, they collect data from electric vehicle owners. This early adopter data sheds light on a number of key discussion points. Most importantly, answers to questions that consumers often ask.

Firstly, how much would I save on fuel? Secondly, how long can I travel on a single charge? Thirdly, how difficult is it to find a charging station?

The list doesn’t end there. However, Moller and Ivanov believe making answers available will eliminate anxieties around EVs. As a result, findings are free, available on their site.

Grassroots Movements Supported by Automakers, Governments

Flip the fleetThe co-founders believe worries about plug-ins will fade as more people own them. Evidently, they’re not alone. Most of the world’s largest automakers quickly rollout electric fleet plans.

Surprisingly, Volkswagen has stated that failing to go green will bring financial ruin to manufacturers. In the wake of dieselgate, the German automaker has repositioned itself. Ultimately, it plans to challenge Tesla for market supremacy.

Additionally, brands like GM, Audi, and Honda all follow suit. These efforts are supported by national governments. Even the United States, which struggles to grasp an environmental foothold, should revive its EV tax credit soon.

Nothing would speed up EV adoption rates like accurate info. Clearly, Flip the Fleet is aware.

Volkswagen EV Sales Exceed Expectations

/in /by

Volkswagen EV Sales Test Company’s Manufacturing Limits

It seems Tesla isn’t the only automaker to keep customers waiting. Indeed, this trend is expected to continue as the world’s largest car manufacturers enter the clean transportation game. Unfortunately, Germany’s largest automaker has found this out the hard way. Ever since the company made its line available for preorder, Volkswagen EV sales have surpassed expectations. The company struggles to satisfy demand.

Granted, this is good news for a number of parties. Firstly, such demand for plug-in vehicles is music to the ears of clean energy advocates. Currently, electric vehicles are on the precipice of serious market penetration. News such as this will encourage VW competitors to ready their fleets.

Additionally, VW’s experience provides a great case study to prepare for fleet rollouts.

Free Battery Charging for 1 Year

Volkswagen EVSecondly, most of the world’s largest automakers have already announced plans for plug-in fleets. This is especially true in China, where nearly 500 electric car automakers compete. This has formed a bubble in China’s auto sector.

Volkswagen EV sales numbers suggest these investments will pay off. Granted, not all players will survive. Nevertheless, this trend goes far beyond China. Everyone from Harley-Davidson to GM has overhauled their operation. Soon, gas-powered services will play second fiddle to electric. Lastly, this news favours the consumer. There aren’t many affordable EV options out there. Developments like this will change that.

Competition Heats Up EV Sector, with Government Help

volkswagen evAfter all, nothing breeds innovation like competition. With the Volkswagen EV line being so popular, Tesla is forced to up its game.

Furthermore, national and regional governments help competitors stay afloat. The United States may pass legislation reviving the expired EV tax credit.

Now that Norway sells more electric than gas-powered vehicles, both democrats and republicans recognize the incentive to go green. Currently, Volkswagen is having trouble satisfying its 10,000 EV orders. All things considered, it’s a nice problem to have.

Europe EV Sales Steadily Climb

/in /by

Europe EV Sales Experience Year-on-Year Growth of 67%

No, the electric vehicle industry hasn’t exploded in Europe. However, both governments and automakers invest heavily in research. Most notably, in lithium-ion battery production and charging station infrastructure. As a result, public confidence in plug-in cars steadily climbs. Evidently, Europe EV sales reflect that.

Compared to this time last year, Europe EV sales have increased by 67%. Granted, that accounts for just 1.7% of all vehicles sold. Nevertheless, progress is progress. Analysts say increased consumer knowledge on the subject of vehicle emissions helped the jump.

Further Adoption Hinges on Government Support

Europe EVUltimately, environmental watchdogs endorse the production of fully-electric vehicles. Hybrids offer a sustainable alternative to gas-powered engines but only marginally reduce emissions.

Luckily, the automotive industry’s shift will cover the gap. Currently, most of the world’s largest producers have announced ambitious EV plans.

Furthermore, Audi has the first carbon-neutral vehicle production facility. Located in Belgium, the Volkswagen subsidiary is a sustainable tech leader.

Nevertheless, further change relies on increased governmental action. Granted, most European countries offer a progressive legislative framework to support EVs.

Global EV Adoption to Grow Exponentially

EV SalesMoreover, Europe EV adoption is supported by government investments in battery production facilities. Incidentally, Li-Ion batteries are highly sought after to support changing energy needs.

For now, only high-earning Europeans can afford to go green. However, it’s likely this will change – sooner rather than later.

The transportation industry shifts rapidly toward sustainability. Moreover, an electric car’s interface is better equipped to handle driverless software.

Consequently, it’s not a matter of if year-over-year Europe EV sales will surpass 67%. It’s a matter of by how much? Exponential growth is on the horizon.
