Electric Vehicle Counting Report No.14 – Waikanae, Kāpiti Coast to Seaview, Lower Hutt
Recorded: 31 May 2022
Journey:
Waikanae, Kāpiti Coast to Seaview, Lower Hutt, Wellington
Route:
SH1, SH59, SH58, SH2
Purpose:
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining in popularity. Everyday we see more
and more EVs on our roads. This series of counting videos simply aims
to create a record of the growing number of EVs in Aotearoa NZ.
Ultimately, we are looking forward to the today when EVs are
the norm and fossil fuel vehicles are only ever seen in museums.
Bring on the rEVolution!
Task:
During our journey we tried to spot every EV on the road. We only counted battery electric vehicles, such as; Nissan Leaf, Tesla, Kia Niro EV, Hyundai IONIQ etc. We do not count hybrid or plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) as these use fossil fuels (petrol and diesel). Also, we do not count:
• parked EVs like those in a car sales
• EVs on transporter delivery vehicles or tow trucks
• reflections or photographs like those in billboard adverts
• same vehicle more than once.
Please comment how many EVs you see in this video. We’ll upload a
highlights video showing how many EVs we saw in a day or so. [Link to appear here]
Good luck and thanks for playing along.
