The Driven publishes detailed sales data for Australian passenger electric vehicle sales on this page.
Data is sourced from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) report known as VFacts, the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC), as well as individual companies.
This page will be updated as new data is released each month, and as new information comes to hand. It is designed to be a reference point for the industry and consumers alike.
Monthly EV sales in Australia
The table below tracks the monthly volume of each passenger electric vehicle model currently sold in Australia. Missing data in some rows or cells indicates that we are waiting for information from those respective manufacturers, usually for electric vehicles that have an equivalent internal combustion engine (ICE) variant.
For more details on individual EV models available in Australia, please visit our EV Models page. And for handy tips on the EV experience, please check out our EV Explainers section and our section on Road Trips and Reviews.

There is no doubt in my investor mind – gungy sticky (idiot Arab driven) fossil fuels are dead dead dead. The battery is THE tech of the 21st century -and Christ we are only 20 or so years truly into it thus far. Just wait!
The fossil fuel people have bought Trump, so he’s their man. He’ll turn back the EV revolution if he can.
But I’m a Never Trump Guy.
Trump stumped his first election on the promise to save the coal industry only so see it crash even further. He is only a man, this EV, Renewables “thing” is far too big even for him. He4 might keep the Chinese out for a couple of years but Tesla will continue to grow as more and more people wake up to the idiocy of fossil fuels. They were good in their time, but now it is time for EVs and renewables…bye bye Big Oil.
Musk ‘interviews’ Trump shortly. Seriously?

Dts can be fixed
Just avoid the the danger of becoming a cult member. Stay rational.
If you own a electric car you have become a cult member
Nah. If you own an electric car you have saved yourself a flipping huge amount of operational cost —cost which comes part and parcel of owning a ‘traditional’ noisy, inefficient fossil fueled costly sh*tbox
Hi Tim,
Thank you for these numbers.
The July numbers total 5,762, whereas Riz mentioned a total sales number of 6,743.
When can we get the missing numbers for July, and for some models, like the Ford Transit, even the last four months?
Hi Kamil,
It’s a slightly complicated answer due to the way we need to collect the data unfortunately as there is no single source of truth. The short answer is the total in the spreadsheet here is simply the tally from all of the models we currently have data for, whereas the Riz number is an aggregate number reported by the FCAI. Once we start filling in more of the blanks with data from individual manufacturers the gap will close.
Thanks,
Tim

A few models missing including the Mini Countryman Electric. I know they were on sale in July because I bought one. Why has BMW stopped reporting iX1 figures?
Maybe put the total in the second column. Not easy to read on a phone (which is where most people will consume this).
And then this month, last month, back to begining of year.
I’m glad my photo of all the BYDs that was taken from a BYD Facebook group is getting another feature. It was one of the first car transporters with BYD Dolphins in Melbourne.
As an owner of an EX30, I’m glad sales are still strong. A brilliant acr.
On track to match last year, petrol car sales are to match or better electric car sales for new cars 4 to 1
Tesla’s reputation in Australia is tanking

Imagine buying a computer with Linux OS just because Bill Gates is a dick.
Idiots all of them IMO
Almost as dumb as buying a Tesla because you think Musk is the messiah .
All depends on your political outlook really .
Now I wouldn’t buy a Tesla for a whole load of non-political reasons , but it would also be comforting to know I wouldn’t be contributing to the coffers of a sociopath on the spectrum ,who I worry about being a danger to democracy.
As far as Gates is concerned , I managed to avoid the fear that injectable nanobots are sterilizing me.
But lets face it most of us buy cars with a large dollop of emotion involved.
There is no logical reason to drive around a Beemer vs a Toyota for instance.
Musk has to have damaged his brand ,
Does GM not sell anything in Australia?
Not much, no.
How did 1 Q4 sneak in there? That car isn’t even available yet.
Seems to be slowing and might just get to last years figures
Wow, BYD is number 1!……wait a minute…..
Driven, can we download this as a PDF? It’s a bit hard to read online as the models get obscured when you swipe to the side or want to look at the totals.
