Plus, earlier this year millions of dollars in the 2022 budget were allocated to funding the rise of EV’s in New Zealand as a part of the Climate Emergency Response Fund.
To learn more, Liam had a chat with Steve Greenwood from Drive EV about the current state of electric vehicles throughout Aotearoa.

Mindful that NZ Music Month is currently in progress, Def Jim delivers a mixed set of local and international content, the former focused on experimental luminaries Trioglodyte, the late Neill Duncan with Devils Gate Outfit and the late Murray McNabb, and the latter including an outstanding new release from John Zorn's New Masada Quartet plus sundry musical gems past and present.
In a typically varied set, Def Jim splices gnarly nuggets from old stalwarts of the avant-garde with new releases from the likes of Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Julian Lage, virtuosic guitar in both electric blues and finger-picked trio/duo settings and sundry sparkling album tracks bursting out of relative obscurity before closing out with some classic John Coltrane.
