🚗⚡️ IS THE PETROL ERA PEAKING? EV SALES SKYROCKET! 📈

A massive shift happened on our roads this February! As petrol prices hit record highs, Australians are officially making the switch to electric in record numbers. 🇦🇺
The February Highlights:
11.8% Market Share: EVs now make up nearly 12% of all new car sales—a huge jump from just 5.9% this time last year!

The “Fuel Surge” Effect: With unleaded petrol touching $2.50/L and diesel passing $3/L in some areas, more drivers are “ditching the pump” to save an estimated $3,000 per year in running costs.

China Takes the Lead: For the first time ever, China has overtaken Japan as our #1 source for new vehicles, thanks to a wave of affordable new EV models.

The Top 3 Best-Sellers (Feb 2026):

Tesla Model Y (2,791 units) – The undisputed king of the road.

BYD Sealion 7 (1,327 units) – Massive demand for this newcomer.

Zeekr 7X (628 units) – Proving that Aussies love fast-charging tech.

Whether it’s the cost of living or a desire for cleaner air, the “hockey-stick” acceleration of EV interest is here to stay. 🏒⚡️
