Georgia Wiggins' birth was a New Zealand first.
Andrew and Karen Wiggins' third child was born in the front seat of their fully-electric Nissan Leaf on the way to the hospital last week, making Georgia the first baby to be born in an electric vehicle in New Zealand - and possibly the Southern Hemisphere.
Andrew said his wife woke about 12.30am on June 21 with a sore back. She suspected it might be the start of labour so they rang the midwife who told them to meet her at hospital.
"We got two minutes down the road and my wife's waters broke. We were only six or seven minutes away from hospital but she gave birth within two minutes.
"She was saying, 'I have to push now'. I was saying, 'no you don't'."
