Exciting Developments at The Electric Motor Vehicle Company
Great Winter Specials Now On Offer
Six years ago, Alex de Boer was working full-time in Invercargill, offering financial advice. He kept hearing the call for everyone to take ownership and help reduce New Zealand’s carbon footprint. With 40% of emissions attributed to the transport sector, a transition to electric vehicles was clearly needed.
As an engineer, Alex understood the scale of the challenge.
“This shift is even bigger than the introduction of the internet — and look how important that has become in our lives,” he says.
Motivated to be part of the solution, Alex founded The Electric Motor Vehicle Company Ltd (EMV). His goal: to help people demystify electric transport and embrace this transition.
Regardless of personal views on climate change, the shift to electric vehicles was inevitable.
“Fossil fuels are neither sustainable nor healthy long-term. All technology is going digital, and electricity is the foundation. Vehicles will eventually become self-driving,” says Alex.
Helping Southland Transition to Electric
EMV began by importing late-model, low-kilometre electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles from Japan.
However, uptake in New Zealand has been slow compared to other countries:
🇳🇴 97% of cars sold in Norway last year were electric
🇨🇳 Over 50% of vehicles in China are now electric — helping combat pollution
“The NZ market will catch up as manufacturers continue their transition,” Alex believes.
Introducing GEOBYKE: E-Bikes for All Adventures
Another exciting initiative from EMV is the development of their own e-bike range — GEOBYKE. These bikes are designed for:
- Long-range riding with large-capacity batteries
- Handling rugged Southland and Central Otago trails
- Older riders and families enjoying the outdoors
- Commuters wanting to leave the car at home
