The absolute numbers sound impressive but compared to total car sales we come back to reality.

The year-to-date sales of battery electric vehicles (EVs) have hit 80,446 compared to 28,326 for the same period last year

EVs made up 7.2% of all motor vehicle sales so far this year.

So, while the increase is encouraging it is still small compared to total sales.

There is still bugger all EV charging infrastructure in the country which will slow down further growth and wider adoption.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sales of electric vehicles in Australia have more than doubled this year compared to 2022 but industry experts say the figure could be even higher had the government introduced long-promised fuel efficiency standards.

The year-to-date sales of battery electric vehicles (EVs) have hit 80,446 compared to 28,326 for the same period last year, an increase of 185%, according to figures from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

But Jafari said the supply coming into Australia was still hampered by the fact the government had not yet legislated a fuel efficiency standard which would cap emissions across a manufacturer’s overall sales and provide an incentive for carmakers to sell low- and zero-emissions vehicles and penalise those that don’t.

The federal government in August revealed the introduction of a fuel efficiency standard had been “overwhelmingly” supported through public consultation.

Weber said a further boost would come when charging infrastructure – which forms part of the government’s national electric vehicle strategy – became more prevalent.

On Monday, the second biggest-selling electric vehicle brand in Australia – BYD – announced it would open another 30 retail stores over 18 months and more service centres as part of a push to overtake Tesla as the market leader.
