Electric Vehicles in Victoria, Australia

From Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat to the far corners of Victoria, battery‑electric vehicle registrations have leapt 334.8% in just two years—rising from 4,417 in 2021 to 19,206 in 2023 — pushing BEVs to 0.39% of the entire light‑vehicle fleet.

Drivers now share 504 public charging stations—about one plug for every 12,992 residents and only 38 BEVs—dramatically reducing queuing and range anxiety on both city streets and regional highways.

Clean energy is plentiful: 785,808 rooftop PV systems totalling 4,920,918.5kW deliver 0.752 kW for every resident, or roughly 40.91 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 45.6% of all new‑vehicle deliveries in Q2 2024, highlighting where consumers want their next long‑range EV options.

With a population of 6,547,822 people, a maturing solar backbone, and a charger network stretching from Melbourne to Warrnambool, Victoria is weaving together an end‑to‑end clean‑transport ecosystem that promises quieter streets, cleaner air, and cheaper commutes for every community.
