* battery electric vehicles were registered for the first time in New Zealand in 2025. This was an increase of **** percent over 2024. The drop in new registrations between 2023 and 2024 occurred primarily due to the end of the Clean Car Discount on 31 December 2023. In addition, from 1 April 2024 onwards, EV owners were no longer exempt from Road User Charges.
