Slow chargers underpin Govt's slow-track investment in public EV chargers Analysis: The investment in AC slow chargers that start under $5k to build, rather than $100k-plus DC fast chargers, could be telling if the Govt's under pressure to meet its 10,000 target, writes Dav...

Chris Bishop's announcement of $52m of funding for EV chargers from the election $250m promise is actually using $66m of Labour's funds

National in fact have spent $0, and the loans don't even have to be used for EV chargers

Scoop: NZ has rejected post-pandemic changes to the WHO's global health rules without providing a reason, making it one of just five countries to do so.
