Electric vehicle (EV) sales are spiking in Australia, albeit from a low base, and there’s some real momentum building.

June 2023 saw EVs hit 8.8 per cent market share, while the Australian Government has now pledged to create a new

National EV Strategy paper.

Additionally, all states and territories

now offering purchase incentives in various shapes and sizes – for examples, NSW residents can get a $3000 rebate and QLD residents can get up to a $6000 rebate.

While

Tesla is far and away the dominant force, a number of Chinese brands are hot on its tail.
