Electric Vehicles in Northern Territory, Australia

From Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs to the far corners of Northern Territory, battery‑electric vehicle registrations have leapt 270.7% in just two years—rising from 41 in 2021 to 152 in 2023 — pushing BEVs to 0.10% of the entire light‑vehicle fleet.

Drivers now share 15 public charging stations—about one plug for every 16,543 residents and only 10 BEVs—dramatically reducing queuing and range anxiety on both city streets and regional highways.

Clean energy is plentiful: 24,093 rooftop PV systems totalling 198,641.5kW deliver 0.800 kW for every resident, or roughly 158.51 solar arrays for each electric car—turning lunchtime sunshine into zero‑cost kilometres after work.

Showroom data confirms the family‑friendly trend: small‑ and medium‑SUVs captured 35.6% of all new‑vehicle deliveries in Q2 2024, highlighting where consumers want their next long‑range EV options.

With a population of 248,151 people, a maturing solar backbone, and a charger network stretching from Darwin to Humpty Doo, Northern Territory is weaving together an end‑to‑end clean‑transport ecosystem that promises quieter streets, cleaner air, and cheaper commutes for every community.
