New Zealand's electric vehicle sales have taken another plunge.

In March, just over 9% of new passenger cars were EVs, falling from about 27% for all of 2023.

Drive Electric Chair Kirstin Corson told Mike Hosking she hasn't written it off, but the market has certainly stalled after losing the clean car discount.

She says it's disappointing to see new light diesel vehicles outselling EVs 10 to one, adding this is a massive difference compared to 2023.
