We kept this Hilux as original as possible (yep, including the ‘90s poo brown interior) but swapped in a 2014 Nissan Leaf motor. Still has a clutch, gear stick, and all the nostalgic charm- just a bit more torque 💥 Masterpiece or disgrace? Let us know 😏 #ElectricHilux #EV #NZ

When you can’t control the market, control your costs 💸⚡ No premium for electric cherries yet, but lower costs, zero emissions, and a more resilient business? Sounds like a win to us 🌱 #ElectricCherries #ElectricOrchard #NZFarming #FutureOfFarming

🌞 Got a spare pony paddock? Time to turn it into a money maker. I dropped $140k on panels, and they’ll pay for themselves in about 4.5 years. How so fast? By exporting surplus power back to the grid when demand is high💥 #ElectricFarm #SolarPower #SolarFarm #NZEnergy #Farming

The internet is losing it over our electric Hilux 😂 This old rig was on its last legs before we gave it a second chance with a Nissan Leaf motor. Now it’s cheaper to run, quieter, and still a total paddock weapon 😎⚡ #ElectricHilux #EV #NZFarming #ElectricVehicles #1990Hilux

Politicians love our electric tractor. Farmers love the savings. And we love the fact that we’re saving $60,000 a year while producing zero emissions 💸⚡🌱 #ElectricOrchard #ClimatePositive #RewiringNZ #CleanEnergy #ElectricFarming #EV

Getting solar panels on Mike Hosking’s roof? That’s one challenge I’m up for! People are starting to see the benefits of solar, not just for the environment, but for their wallets. Whether it’s on farms or in homes, the value’s clear🔋🌍 loom.ly/1CiZfn0 🎙️Newstalk ZB

Solar is a no-brainer for most Kiwi households. But batteries? That’s where we need to get creative. A battery subsidy could help us take pressure off the grid and lower everyone’s power bills in the process. 💡 rewiring.nz/manifesto

Super awesome to sit down with Crux to talk about the launch of Rewiring Aotearoa’s Queenstown Electrification Accelerator!💡⚡ The team and I are all in to turn Queenstown into a fully electric economy: cutting costs & improving energy resilience loom.ly/-88xJ_o

Sat down with Emile from RNZ to chat about the potential for electrification loans and the exciting new things they could bring to NZ homes. With the backing of some key politicians, we’re on track to make electrifying our homes affordable for everyone⚡ loom.ly/1egOEi8

We’ve all been feeling the pain of rising energy bills. But here’s the silver lining, electric household machines are the cheaper choice long-term⚡ Now, we just need to make sure every Kiwi can afford to make the switch! 🔋 RNZ News / @rewiringnz loom.ly/1egOEi8

Ready for solar? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ If you’re thinking about it, you’re part of the 40% of Kiwis who are 'frustrated enthusiasts.' But the big barrier remains upfront cost 💰 BUT did you know it's actually cheaper to finance solar than to keep paying for grid power?⚡🌍 EDS Aotearoa

Alright, let’s clear this up: I’m not running a solar business, and I’m definitely not a solar billionaire😆 I’m passionate about making New Zealand more prosperous, and solar is part of that🌞 Seeds Podcast

We’re working on making it easier for Kiwis to electrify their homes and save money in the long run. These new loans could help make the switch more affordable and flexible, with low-interest options that fit your budget. ⚡🏠 RNZ News / @rewiringnz loom.ly/1egOEi8

On The Spinoff Bernard and I dug deep into how many fossil fuel machines are still running and how we can electrify them. It’s a massive opportunity to cut emissions and save Kiwis a ton of money. 🔌💰 Have a look at our latest research here 👉 loom.ly/-eqhrDo

I'm known for my electric cherries in Central Otago, but I’m also pushing for a fully electric NZ as CE of Rewiring Aotearoa. It’s ambitious but achievable, and it’s about time we cut bills & make our energy system more reliable. Who's with me?⚡ 📸 Southland NZ / @rewiringnz

Finance is the roadblock to electrification. While electric machines save money long-term, the initial cost is tough for many Kiwis to manage. 💸 @rewiringnz is working hard to push for affordable financing that makes electrification possible for everyone🌱🔋 The Spinoff
