Australia Makes Gains in EV Uptake

A new report by the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC) finds that Australia has made significant progress in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with record-high sales and expanded high-power charging infrastructure.

The EVC's State of EVs 2025 report highlights key developments in the 2024-25 financial year, including the launch of new EV models.

“More Australians are steering towards electric vehicles because they are better for your budget, better for the climate, and better for Australia whether or not you drive an EV. Electric vehicles are the future – our climate targets depend on them.” - Julie Delvecchio, Electric Vehicle Council CEO

The report also rates government EV policies, with the federal government scoring 8/10 and the Queensland, Tasmanian, and Northern Territory governments scoring 3/10.

Australia is making progress in the transition to electric cars, according to the report.
