Running Costs
Lower total cost of ownership than a diesel van. The numbers behind running a Farizon in NZ.
Efficient to Drive, Efficient to Run
With competitive fast-charging capabilities and an Eco Mode to manage power response, the Farizon Van offers optimal driving efficiency.
Manage Performance with Different Driving Modes
Eco Mod
Manages power response and limits the maximum speed to achieve optimal driving efficiency.
Sport Mode
Delivers maximum performance and quicker accelerator responses.
Comfort Mode (default)
Provides a regulated balance between efficiency and performance.
1 – 1.2 of 3
ECO Mode
Prioritises energy efficiency, reducing power output to extend driving range and maximise battery performance.
Standard Mode
Provides balanced, responsive performance for everyday driving.
Reduced Servicing Costs
With recommended servicing intervals of just every 12 months or 20,000km, and fewer moving parts than a diesel van, servicing is minimal and costs are kept low.
NZ-specific costs explained.
The Clean Car Discount (rebate) ended for new EV registrations on 31 December 2023. Farizon vans are priced driveaway with no rebate factored in. The Clean Car Standard (CO2 fleet emissions for importers) still applies and continues to favour EVs.
Yes. From 1 April 2024, electric light commercial vehicles pay Road User Charges in New Zealand. The standard rate is $76 per 1,000km for vehicles under 3,500kg GVM. Plan it into your running cost calculation alongside electricity.
Work-related vehicles (including commercial vans set up for business use) may qualify for an FBT exemption when private use is genuinely incidental. Most Farizon SuperVan and V7E configurations are eligible, but exemption depends on use; talk to your accountant.
Every 12 months or 20,000km, whichever comes first. No oil changes, no transmission service, no spark plugs — just brake fluid, coolant, cabin filter and tyre rotation.
Indicative only. NordEast to confirm precise NZ figures. At ~25c/kWh off-peak home electricity, a full 83kWh top-up is around $20. Same range from diesel: typically $80–$120 depending on consumption.
