Q2 2023 Passenger / LCV Sales By Fuel Type

EVs are growing increasing popular with almost 50,000 low or zero emission vehicles sold in the second quarter of 2023.

Q2 Total EV Sales

25,696

Consisting of almost one in five sales through the period, it includes 25,696 battery electric vehicles, which is almost triple the entire number sold in 2021. Alongside this, another 2,071 Plug-In Hybrid vehicles were sold over that period, and 22,212 Hybrids.

At a brand level, Tesla remains the top EV brand, with a notably strong result in June to round out the financial year. We are however seeing progress from competitors with BYD and MG both performing well in this category.

Electric vehicle growth is likely to remain strong for the foreseeable future, as more brands and models enter the Australian market, and consumers become more willing to consider them as a legitimate alternative to internal combustion.
