Electric Vehicle Council Celebrating 10 Years of EV Progress in Australia

The Electric Vehicle Council has been tracking the progress of electric vehicle uptake in Australia over the last ten years. Their latest report is a celebration of achievements. It is 144 pages long, and you can read the entire report here. I will just be hitting the highlights and providing some comments along the way.

In a demonstration of how fast the EV transition is moving in Australia, the EVC report projections to the end of the year are already hopelessly out of date, with a surge over the last three months looking set to continue through to the end of the year. Nevertheless, the report makes encouraging reading.

Both BEV and PHEV sales have doubled comparing H1 2025 with H2 2026. A new EV is sold in Australia every 100 seconds as Australians seek to cut costs and gain energy security. The ratio of BEV to PHEV sits at 2:1, similar to many other countries. The report warns of a possible “fragility” in Australia’s EV sales due to increasing demand for public charging and the possible introduction of a road user charge.

The report says that so far installation of public charging has kept up with demand. This is due to the fact that most Australians charge at home. There are 4268 AC and DC public charging locations available, an increase of 18% year on year and 11,600 public AC and DC connectors, a 31% increase year on year.
