Servicing Petrol vs
Electric
Not only is it cheaper and cleaner
to run an electric vehicle, you can save serious money on
servicing costs (parts and labour) and also help the
environment by reducing the amount of consumable service items
associated with running a petrol powered car.

Lets see what that looks like. For a typical 4 cylinder petrol
car you can expect to use the following service items over the
next 100,000 kms. Costing you time, money and impacting the
environment.
Environmental Impact
Not only do these items cost you time
and money, they need to be disposed of once they reached the
end of their life. New Zealand currently has over 4 million
vehicles registered for use on our roads (petrol, hybrid and
diesel). Just imagine how many discarded service items, used
engine oil and used engine coolant this results in.
Fuel Savings
In addition to saving money and time
on servicing you can save big dollars on day to day
