Electric vehicles available in Australia
When shopping for a car, people bring all sorts of preferences and must-haves, from the colour to the trim to the year – there’s a lot to consider. But among these age-old factors involved with car-buying, we also have another choice to make: whether or not we choose to drive green.
Across the globe, sales of electric vehicles have skyrocketed in recent years. Although we had a slow start with electric vehicles in Australia, we’re now well on our way to the electric vehicle revolution. EV sales in Australia have tripled during the first months of 2023 compared to 2022, helping electric vehicles become 8% of the market share.
