Fuel prices are rising, and so is interest in electric vehicles. In this episode of EV Quest, Adrian Maidment talks with Hayden Johnson, General Manager of EV specialist dealership GVI, to unpack what’s really happening in New Zealand’s EV market.
Are EVs actually selling out? Is this surge driven purely by petrol prices, or are we seeing a genuine tipping point in consumer behaviour?
They cover:
 Why EV demand has suddenly accelerated 
 The reality behind “no stock” headlines 
 What first-time EV buyers need to know 
 The truth about battery lifespan myths 
 Examples of  which vehicles offer the best value right now 
If you’re thinking about switching to an EV or just trying to make sense of the hype, this episode gives you real, on-the-ground insight from someone in the  the know.
