Start with real weekly use
Map distance, route speed, towing, load, site time and home or depot parking. Compare fuel, charging and downtime using the same operating week.
Do not assume capability
Electrified variants can differ from diesel counterparts in weight, payload, towing, spare-wheel or accessory compatibility. Check current New Zealand documentation for the exact vehicle.
Compare total ownership
Include purchase price, energy, servicing assumptions, incentives or taxes that actually apply, charging equipment, resale and replacement timing.
