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 thespinoff.co.nz/business/26…

The NZ Ministry of Transport : Te Manatu / Waka at #ElectroMobilitySummit showing by how much regions will have to reduce VKT (vehicle km travelled) vs predicted figures, check out Queenstown #sustainabletourism #lastmiletourosm #activetravel #carbonbudget #climatechange
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
At #electromobility summit in NZ, great to see CEO of Motor Industry Association David Crawford namecheck our Battery Industry Group in creating a #circulareconomy #productstewardship scheme for #largebatteries for #EVs - see big.org.nz

Exciting news from @eeca_nz about new network of #chargingclusters with lounges - service stations for #EV cars every 150km #electromobilitysummitNZ
At #NZelectromobility summit, listening to @michaelwoodnz talking about the urgency for #decarbonisation and transition to #emobility with NZ’s #netzero and #emissions reduction plan inc for #publichealth benefits. I’m on stage later talking about #battery #productstewardship

We did it! @NZGreens were prevented from getting this over the line last term. But not this time.... It’s a huge win - and part of the work we are doing to build a low carbon Aotearoa in which people have clean, climate-friendly ways of getting around. rnz.co.nz/news/political/444…

At #EWorld2021 Battery Industry Group (B.I.G.) Chair @juhi launched a concept for a blockchain-enabled platform to track a large #battery through owners to a #circulareconomy end of life. With @AudiOfficial NZ and @Vectorltd abs @everledgerio Watch: youtu.be/oA1A4-Ak5yQ

At #EWorld2021, looking forward to talking about the #productstewardshipscheme that will enable a #crculareconomy for large #batteries created by the Battery Industry Group (B.I.G.) @batteryloop conferenz.co.nz/events/eworl…
At @driveelectricnz Annual Members Events Michelle Royl of @Custom_Fleet says: - NZ tax incentives need to change to attract supply eg creating Fringe Benefit Tax FBT parity - Must make #EVs affordable for Mums and Dads
Note @Vectorltd - CEO of @MeridianEnergy talks about challenge of #electricity transmission and distribution and moving customers to off-peak charging through pricing signals and the need for more renewable generation and smart #charging infrastructure. #driveelectric
. Dean Sheed of @GiltrapAudi says challenge of #EV supply could be addressed by putting government and customer mandate to the Giltrap Group head office. @michelleroyal of @Custom_Fleet says increased demand from fleet customer but supply challenges inc. lack of capex
NZ Minister of #Transport @michaelwoodnz talking about the need to urgently create an #emissions reduction plan to meet NZ’s #carbon targets; Clean Car Standard and #Biofuel Mandate as part of a drive to #decarbonise transport sector alongside industry.
. @driveelectricnz & @ToyotaNZ warning of dangers of NZ becoming the ‘new Cuba’ - dumping ground for old, fossil fuel vehicles and challenge of bringing industry and consumers on the journey to #electrification. @Tesla Chair @RobynDenholm talking about low @ClimateCommNZ targets
Great to be @NZParliament representing @thl_online at @driveelectricnz Annual Members Event - Chair Mark Gilbert talking about the acceleration to low emissions vehicles and the end of ICE vehicles big.org.Nz

Sadly not our NZ Battery Industry Group (B.I.G.) but it looks like a great initiative by @volvocars #batterycycling
Volvo Buses is taking battery recycling global as they expand the cooperation with @Batteryloop that belongs to Stena Recycling. electrive.com/2020/09/11/vol… #reuse #recycle #batteries @VolvoBusGlobal
