Jucy set to introduce electric campervan fleet

THOUSANDS of international tourists visiting New Zealand could be driving electric campervans within two years following a new electric vehicle (EV) trial. The #NewZealand trial will mark the first time an electric campervan has been rented to tourists in this market. 

During their journey, two visiting French students will travel thousands of kilometres throughout the North Island in a prototype Jucy #campervan, powered only by electricity. The tourists plan to visit around 30 destinations in the North Island over a three week period. Jucy CEO Tim Alpe says the company aims to introduce a new category of electric vehicle to its fleet to meet growing demand from millennial tourists.

Top tips for holidays

FOUNDER and director of campervan, caravan, and motorhome insurance provider, comfort-insurance.co.uk, Peter Cue, shares his holiday tricks to save you time, money … and sanity.

1. Keep sun cream separate - It’s happened to most of us, you’ve opened your suitcase to find your personal belongings are soaked in sun lotion. To prevent this from happening to you – keep sun cream in a separate compartment to your clothes or wrap the bottle in a tight-sealed bag. 
2. Take a plug adaptor  - Plug adaptors are like gold when travelling. Having more than one also saves the hassle of waiting for your phone to charge and wanting to use your hairdryer. 
3. Bring a torch - You’ll never know when you may need one. To get extra light in your campervan, strap your torch to a jug of water to fill the entire room with an ambient light. 
4. Use pill boxes to store ingredients - To save space in your kitchen area or if you find yourself cooking food by a campfire but can’t go anywhere without your salt and pepper, store your spices in empty plastic pill boxes. No mess and easy to take with you everywhere. 
5. Disguise your valuables  - If you’re heading to the beach or off on a hike, put your money and keys in a lip balm case or empty water bottle to prevent them from getting lost or stolen. 
6. Keep mozzies away - Baby oil is a brilliant mosquito repellent. In case of any bites, deodorant is a fantastic skin soother. 
7. Foam floor tiles - If you’re sleeping on the floor in a tent or a campervan, make sure you bring foam floor tiles to add extra comfort. 
8. First aid kit - Plasters, antihistamine, pain killers or Berrocca – you never know when you might have an emergency.
