As the global shift toward sustainable transport accelerates, New Zealand’s electric vehicle (EV) market is entering a critical phase—marked by strong government backing, rising consumer demand, and a growing ecosystem of innovators, influencers, and infrastructure providers.
But in a crowded and fast-evolving landscape, visibility is everything.
For local EV sellers, importers, dealers, content creators, and tech companies, video has become the most powerful tool for building trust, educating buyers, and staying ahead of the curve.
That’s where Vidude.com comes in.
"We created Vidude to give Kiwis a platform to tell authentic stories—whether you're a small EV dealer in Christchurch or a Tesla advocate in Hamilton,” says Daniel Chyi, co-founder of Vidude. “Video builds trust, demonstrates expertise, and connects communities faster than any other medium."
???? The Challenge: EV Growth Without Enough Local Visibility
New Zealand is on track to surpass 100,000 registered EVs in 2025, spurred by clean car discounts, rising petrol prices, and expanding charging networks. But while the interest is high, consumer education and brand visibility are lacking.
Key pain points include:
Poor understanding of EV models, costs, and charging infrastructure
Limited public exposure for independent EV importers and service providers
Overseas content dominating NZ EV search results
A need for trusted, local, visual content
???? The Solution: Why Vidude Is the Ideal Video Platform for NZ’s EV Ecosystem
Vidude.com is New Zealand’s own video discovery and content platform—designed to spotlight local voices and niche industries, including clean tech, transport innovation, and EV education.

???? Key Features for the NZ EV Sector:
Local-first discovery: Content tagged by city, region, EV brand, or topic
SEO-rich indexing: Videos optimized for Google NZ search results
