Electric Vehicles in Australia

Australia is home to approximately 25,666,649 people and 20,500,000 registered vehicles. Among these, 492,100 are electric cars, which include battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). This means that 2.4% of the country's vehicles are now electric, highlighting a growing shift towards sustainable transportation.

Assuming each internal combustion engine vehicle travels an average of 10,000km per year, Australia's non-electric vehicles are emitting approximately 24,009 thousand tonnes of CO2 per year.

To facilitate the transition to electric cars and hybrid vehicles, there are around 1,500 public EV charging stations across Australia, making it easier for residents and visitors to charge their vehicles and drive sustainably.
