APEV
The Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles

Plug In + is a programme that aims to accelerate the adoption of Electric Vehicles in NZ by making it easy for potential buyers to discover what options are available, learn more about the benefits of electric transport, compare the total cost of ownership to their existing vehicle, register for test drives and be kept informed about new products and services.

Fully Charged is an online show hosted by Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf, Scrapheap Challenge, Carpool), which looks at why we need to change how we think about energy consumption now. From looking behind the myths of renewable energy, to seeking the truth about electric cars, Robert Llewellyn demonstrates what the future could have in store for us all.

During the next few months I'll be converting an old gas powered car to run on clean, cheap electricity. It's a serious learning curve for me but I'm up for the challenge - and hey, if I can do it then believe me, anyone can do it!

The Electric Generation, a campaign supported by the Edison Electric Institute, represents the electric utility industry’s commitment to the widespread adoption of electricity as a transportation fuel.

The Electric Generation focuses on the people who support electricity as a fuel: current and future drivers of plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. With The Electric Generation, the electric utilities are helping to amplify the voices of those who are already passionate and excited about driving electric and spread the message that electricity makes driving better.

We Australians love our cars. We can't live without them. Unfortunately our cars are doing a lot of damage – to the environment, our climate, and to our hip pocket every time we fill up with fuel! But you do have a choice. You can own an electric car – today. While there are no electric production cars currently for sale in Australia (as of 2010), you can convert your existing vehicle to zero emission electric. Never pay another cent for petrol, and know that you're doing your bit to minimise air pollution and climate change*.
