Do you have an electric vehicle?

Grace from Hutt City Council

We have a new DC charging station at the Dowse. The charger enables fast recharges for electric vehicles, increasing accessibility and turn-over at the site.
While there are now over 100 DC fast chargers across NZ, having two DC charging units at one location is a first in the wider Wellington region. In fact this is a first for any location south of Waiouru!

It operates on a user-pays system and will charge a Nissan Leaf, the most popular EV currently available in NZ, to 80% within approximately 20 minutes.

So if you have an electric vehicle and it’s looking for a bit of a charge, pop in, grab a coffee and check out what’s on at the Dowse.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
