Electric Car Fans Gather To Break NZ Record

On Sunday May the 7th, volunteers are trying to break the record for the largest number of the cars gathered in one place. Better New Zealand Trust spokesperson James Cozens says they need more than 100 cars to turn up at the Airport. The record attempt kicks off at 11 am, and also involves a race between a Tesla and McLaren and a speech from Minister of Energy and Resources Judith Collins. We're trying to encourage people to keep their minds open, says Mr Cozens. Come along today and basically look at these electric cars, get in them, drive them ride in them and you will realize they are right here, right now, and we are now driving the future.
