Subject: Official Information request - Data points and data sources used
for PHEV RUC plan

address and know the content is safe.

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

With upcoming RUC for EVs being $76 per 1,000km, and for PHEV $53 per
1,000km, the implication is that PHEV owners are assumed to be driving 70%
of their mileage on electricity and 30% on fuel.

 

I would like to request what data points and what data sources were used
to arrive at that threshold (i.e. 70%). What was statistical significance
of the data used?

 

Also, a secondary request. In NZTA models what percentage of the plug-in
hybrid vehicle drivers is expected to be double taxed as a result of the
new scheme?

 

Yours faithfully,

Michal Mieszkowski

Kia ora Michal,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Transport, I acknowledge the transfer of your
Official Information Act request on 7 February 2024 seeking:

 

“With upcoming RUC for EVs being $76 per 1,000km, and for PHEV $53 per
1,000km, the implication is that PHEV owners are assumed to be driving 70%
of their mileage on electricity and 30% on fuel.

I would like to request what data points and what data sources were used
to arrive at that threshold (i.e. 70%). What was statistical significance
of the data used?

Also, a secondary request. In NZTA models what percentage of the plug-in
hybrid vehicle drivers is expected to be double taxed as a result of the
new scheme?”

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and in
any event no later than 6 March 2024 being 20 working days after the day
your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by
then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

The Ministry publishes Official Information Act responses on our website
when there may be wider interest in the information released. This means
the information provided to you might be published after you have received
it.

 

Ngâ mihi
