Australia’s electric-vehicle (EV) landscape is shifting, and XPeng sits at a pivotal point in the country’s road to wider electrification. Through its Australian distributor TrueEV, XPeng has launched its G6 medium SUV as the first and only XPeng model available on the market, while outlining an aggressive expansion plan designed to lift annual sales into […]
Australia’s electric-vehicle market is rapidly evolving. As we look towards late 2025 and into 2026, a mix of established brands and new entrants is reshaping choices for Australian buyers – from entry-level city runabouts to family SUVs. Below I summarise the most significant model arrivals, assess the current market landscape and policy context, and outline […]
BYD’s presence in Australia has moved from niche to mainstream with remarkable speed. Once a minor player in the local market, the Chinese manufacturer has used competitive pricing, a broad model line-up and tighter control of its supply chain to establish itself as one of Australia’s most contested EV brands. By mid‑2025 BYD’s momentum was […]
Vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging is emerging as a practical way for Australian households to use electric vehicles (EVs) as a home-power resource – providing backup electricity during outages, supporting peak-cost management and, in time, participating in broader grid services. While most home chargers and EVs in Australia today are configured for one-way charging, V2H and other […]
A novated lease can be one of the most tax‑effective and convenient ways for Australians to drive an electric vehicle (EV). As a three‑way salary‑sacrifice arrangement between an employee, their employer and a leasing company, a novated lease packages vehicle finance and running costs into one regular payroll deduction. For EVs this structure can deliver […]
As more Australians switch to electric vehicles (EVs), homeowners are increasingly looking to pair EV charging with rooftop solar to cut running costs and reduce emissions. A solar EV charger – sometimes called a solar-aware or PV-integrated charger – directs surplus solar generation to charge an EV first, only drawing from the grid when necessary. […]
August’s new-vehicle figures show a renewed surge in electric vehicle (EV) uptake across Australia, with Chinese manufacturer BYD once again outselling Tesla and the overall EV share of the new-car market rising to 9.7 per cent. The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) and the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC) data released in early September illustrate […]
Australia’s energy and transport landscape is at a turning point. A forward-looking report from the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) argues that the nation can slash diesel dependence across transport, mining, and agriculture and accelerate the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) through targeted policy reform. With the right mix of incentives, infrastructure […]
Australia’s EV landscape is shifting fast – more models, growing charging networks and renewed debate over policy and public perception are all reshaping how Australians think about electric cars. For drivers, fleet managers and policymakers, the next 12-24 months will be critical: choice is expanding, costs are beginning to come down, and infrastructure investment is […]
Australia’s electric vehicle market is accelerating into the mainstream. In Q2 2025, EVs captured a record 13.1% share of all new car sales, with 41,146 deliveries for the quarter – up 37% year-on-year. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) remain the backbone of the transition, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) posted a standout surge as buyers […]
