2024 ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES AUSTRALIA WRAP-UP

EV Channels Review

This episode of The EV Show provides a comprehensive wrap-up of Australian electric vehicle sales for 2024, highlighting a modest year-on-year growth of 4.6% to just over 91,000 units. The hosts note that while overall growth was flat compared to 2023, likely due to the phasing out of state incentives, December saw a significant surge to 8.4% of all car sales, driven by Tesla's incentives and price cuts. The Tesla Model Y and Model 3 dominated sales, with the MG4 and BYD Seal also featuring in the top five. The discussion also touched upon new entrants like the Leapmotor C10 and the upcoming BYD Seal 7, while lamenting the persistent challenges with non-Tesla charging infrastructure, particularly on major inter-city routes. The show emphasizes the increasing competition and choice for consumers in 2025, with a focus on the critical need for improved and agnostic charging solutions.
