1.1 INTROduction

Electric Island Waiheke (EIW) is a charitable trust formed in October 2018, as a result of a concerned group of islanders wanting to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles on the island and get rid of the pollution, noise and cost of diesel and petrol powered engines.

​

Electric Island Waiheke was launched officially on 30 November 2018 with the stated goal of making Waiheke fossil-fuel-free by 2030.  Electric Island Waiheke is governed by a charitable trust.

​

We are already a long way towards this ambitious goal.

Electric Island Waiheke is recognized officially by the Waiheke Local Community Board.
