The Government has failed to keep its promise to ‘super charge’ the EV network, delivering just 292 chargers – less than half of the 670 chargers needed to meet its target.
“We can add this failure to the long list of ways the Government has undone progress towards a low-carbon, sustainable economy on which New Zealanders’ jobs and livelihoods depend,” Labour energy and climate spokesperson Megan Woods said.
“National missing its own self-imposed first target to install 670 chargers this year is yet another broken promise from this government.
“They have promised so much but delivered so little.
“National has cut $3 billion from climate initiatives, scrapped the clean car discount, repealed the ban on oil and gas exploration, prioritised destructive sea-bed mining over offshore wind electricity generation, and scrapped funding that helped big emitters transition to renewable energy.
“The Government talks a big game about reducing emissions but repeatedly undoes effective programmes, taking New Zealand backwards,” Megan Woods said.
