[FYI request #26301 email]
Tēnā koe Abhishek,
I refer to your email dated 3 April 2024, requesting the following under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“Can I please request any business case, concept paper, indicative, detailed business
case ever done by MoT on Electric vehicle charging Infrastructure network in NZ?”
On 12 April 2024, we contacted you regarding your request, noting:
“As the request is currently worded, we do not expect to find any information that falls
within scope of the request, as no formal business case or concept papers for an EV
charging network have been prepared by MoT.
To date, the government’s general approach to EV charging infrastructure has been
to support the market to deliver a charging network by addressing regulatory and
coordination barriers, and providing co-investment through the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Authority’s contestable funds.
Noting the above, you may wish to clarify your request. If you do choose to clarify
your request, it would also be useful to understand what time period you are
interested in (e.g. since the current Government was sworn in, or looking back over
previous Governments).”
As we have not received a response to our email of 12 April 2024, we are now responding to
your original request.
I am refusing your request under the following section of the Act:
18(e)
that the document alleged to contain the information requested does
not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be found.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of this response by the Ombudsman,
in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The relevant details can be found on the
Ombudsman’s websit
