Do you have an Electric Vehicle? Do you need to buy Road User Charges?
From 1 April 2024 the rules have changed.
You'll need to buy Road User Charges (RUC) if your vehicle:
- is powered fully or partly from externally supplied electricity, and
- weighs 1001kg–3500kg.
The amount you pay will depend on the type of electric vehicle you have.
Anyone using New Zealand’s roads contributes towards their upkeep. Most road users pay fuel tax when they buy petrol, through fuel excise duty (FED). Others, such as drivers of diesel vehicles, pay through RUC.
