Aimee Wiley: Motor Industry Association CEO says that it's a shame the Clean Car Discount are ending
The Motor Industry Association's concerned for the future of electric vehicles in New Zealand.
Parliament's repealed the Clean Car Discount —dubbed a 'ute tax' by its opponents— under urgency, following a third reading.
The policy subsidised the purchases of electric vehicles by charging a tax on purchases of polluting vehicles.
CEO Aimee Wiley told Mike Hosking that while it's great to have clarity from the Government, it's a shame the rebates are ending.
She says they're worried things will go backwards next year with no form of incentive.
But, Wiley said, the market's now more competitive, and hopefully this will help pricing kick in.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
