The Motor Industry Association's concerned for the future of electric vehicles in New Zealand.
Parliament's repealed the Clean Car Discount —dubbed a 'ute tax' by its opponents— under urgency, following a third reading.
The policy subsidised the purchases of electric vehicles by charging a tax on purchases of polluting vehicles.
CEO Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking that while it's great to have clarity from the Government, it's a shame the rebates are ending.
She says they're worried things will go backwards next year with no form of incentive.
But, Wiley said, the market's now more competitive, and hopefully this will help pricing kick in.
