Monthly light vehicle registrations : June 2015
Light vehicle registrations
The number of light vehicle1 registrations continue to be at very high levels following the resurgence in used imports, and record numbers of new registrations.
Hybrid and electric light vehicle registrations
The growth in the import of used conventional hybrids has brought the share of hybrid and electric light vehicle2 registrations to around one percent of light vehicles in recent months.
1 Light vehicles are cars, vans, utes and SUVs up to a Gross Vehicle Mass of 3500kg 2 Pure electric vehicles (PEV) powered solely by battery, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) which are battery and engine powered. They have a shorter electric range than PEVs (see the glossary on page 5)

The introduction of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to the New Zealand market has boosted the registrations of electric vehicles significantly. They now make up 0.15% to 0.20% of light vehicle registrations.
The imports of used conventional hybrid vehicles continue to increase, as more of them are available in the Japanese used market now. Used conventional hybrid registrations have now overtaken news, and used registrations are increasing while new registrations are decreasing. Conventional hybrid registrations are just over 2000 a year and are growing slowly.

Electric vehicle sales increased significantly in early 2014 following the introduction of the Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid. The Outlander and the Nissan Leaf have made up most of the new registrations, and Leafs have made up most of the used imports. Audi and BMW models are the next biggest selling new light electric vehicles. The electric vehicle numbers in this report now exclude Loyds Paxters (see http://www.loydspaxster.com/). They are a lightweight delivery vehicle, and substitute for NZ Post bicycles rather than conventional vehicles. There were 3 in the fleet at the end of May 2015 that were included in that report, and 10 more were registered in June. The rolling twelve month graph below shows electric light vehicle registrations were 391 for the year to June 2015. The average monthly registrations in 2015 have been 32, so registrations for the year may be 400- 450. They were 322 in 2014.
The light electric fleet has now reached 695 vehicles. Forty five of these vehicles were manufactured in 2005 or before, and It wasn’t clear whether they were all were genuinely electric. NZTA has checked the recertification data and has confirmed that they are.
There are just over 12,000 conventional hybrids in the fleet. The new conventional hybrid fleet is not growing as quickly as it was due to the drop in new registrations, but the used conventional hybrid fleet is growing faster. The last graph on the previous page shows the rolling 12 month new and used conventional hybrid registrations.

Glossary Electric light vehicles (EV) Electric vehicles are either Pure electric vehicles or Plug-in hybrid vehicles as defined
below.
Pure electric vehicle (PEV) PEVs derive their power solely from the electricity grid, via their rechargeable battery packs and do not have an internal combustion engine. They are also know as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).
Examples include the Nissan Leaf and the Tesla models. The Nissan Leaf has a range of about 120 km between recharges, and the Tesla models as much as 500 km.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) PHEV derive their power either from the electricity grid via their rechargeable battery packs or their internal combustion engine. These vehicles have a shorter range using only stored electric energy than PEVs but a greater overall range through use of their internal combustion engine. These are also known as Range Extended Electric Vehicles.
Examples include the Mitsubishi Outlander, Audi A3, BMW i series and General Motors Volt.
Conventional hybrid vehicle Conventional hybrids combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric propulsion system. Their energy is derived from the fuel they burn and regenerative braking. They do not use electricity from the electricity grid.
Examples include the Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry and Lexus H series.
