Hi,
I've just taken delivery of a 2011 Leaf,to my knowledge the first in South Island New Zealand.
To buy a new one it would cost $59,000 as there are no subsidies here, however I got a 2011 from Japan for $30,000. The draw back is I know have to learn a new language as all the menus are in Japanese!
So no tax breaks, no infrastructure and to top it all the government want an extra $100 on road tax for an ev vehicle!!!
Clean, Green, New Zealand I don't think so...I can see it's going to be a steep uphill climb for me and my leaf!!
