People are now seeing the benefit to switching to an electrified product.
No, we're definitely seeing people switching to either a super hybrid or electric.
The whole increased fuel price, what it did, people weren't buying a new EV back in March because of the cost of fuel.
They were buying it because they thought that perhaps the fuel might run out or they might have careless days.
And buying an EV or an electrified product has just given them that security and freedom.
At the moment it's about 50-50, but the sales data is quite skewed.
You might have seen a big increase in the last couple of months, but we have been limited here in New Zealand about the amount of stock that we've got coming in.
716 cars last month.
420 of those were pure electric.
The rest were our superhybrids.
But I couldn't get certain models into New Zealand.
We're very, very restricted.
I mean, the fact of the matter is I could have sold three or four times the amount of cars we had.
Well, the issue's not production.
The issue's actually shipping.
So, Mike, if you wanted to buy 10,000 cars, I can have them built within 30 days and ready to ship.
But New Zealand is not an attractive place for what we call roll-on, roll-off shipping carriers to come.
There's only really two regular boats down here.
And what we're seeing is Australian car companies are now loading up these boats with cars, bringing them to New Zealand and then trans-shipping them back over to Australia.
Because the Australian market, what we're seeing in New Zealand, is not even anything remotely what we're seeing in Australia.
