Great article on @BlueCarsNZ in @TheSpinoffTV today, and great to have them on board with @batteryloop (BIG). The group is working together on one common goal; designing a circular product stewardship scheme for large batteries. #BatteryCycle#GenLessEVs https://t.co/gI6wI7Oa7b
@ChargeNetNZ COO Martin Miles talks about how to decide how many chargers are needed, and how smart charging is key to managing energy demand. #electromobilitysummit
At #electromobility summit, Dean Sheed of @AUDIGMNZ and @driveelectricnz says #EV transition well under way, now business needs to work as an ecosystem with behaviour change inc. retraining technicians to work with #EVs
