It’s been projected that by 2015, the combination of increased fuel prices with decreasing battery prices and smarter technology will put electric vehicles on a par with fossil fuel powered vehicles. And if you want to see where electric vehicles and electric motorbikes are headed to first-hand, the upcoming New Zealand Clean Energy Expo in Taupo is a great place to start. More than 25 exhibits, including a number of electric cars and motorbikes, will be on show at the event. Expo-goers will also have the opportunity to hear cleantech experts speak as part of a series of free workshops.
