From: Tamsyn
Tēnā koutou, e Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency,
We are developing a tool to help businesses and governments organizations understand New Zealander's use of environmentally conscious lifestyle choices. As part of this work, we are attempting to develop a metric that captures the likelihood of individuals using green personal transport such as electric vehicles, in contrast to traditional personal transport such as diesel or petrol vehicles. In this regard we would like a dataset that specifies, for each 2021 Statistical Area 2 across New Zealand:
- Total car registrations: The total number of vehicles registered.
- Total electric car registrations: The number of electric vehicles registered, where electric is defined as the categories electric, electric fuel cell hydrogen and electric fuel cell other.
- Total hybrid car registrations: The number of hybrid vehicles registered, where hybrid is defined as the categories plugin petrol hybrid, plugin diesel hybrid, petrol hybrid, diesel hybrid, electric [petrol extended], electrc [diesel extended], petrol electric hybrid and diesel electric hybrid
In effect the data set we would like would be formatted with the following columns:
- SA22021_Code
- Total number of vehicle registrations
- Total number of electric vehicle registrations
- Total number of hybrid vehicle registrations
For example, each SA2 will have 1 row of data which outlines the total number of vehicles, the total number of electric vehicles and the total number of hybrid vehicles in that SA2.
We are also aware that some of this data may have to be confidentialised as per the specifications of Privacy Act 2020.
If you require any further information from me please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,
Dr Tamsyn Hilder, Lead Data Scientist for Products, Dot Loves Data
