EV sales are going wild in Australia – in 2023 sales doubled and they continue to climb! But the most popular electric vehicle brands include very few of the legacy marques. In fact, just behind Tesla Model Y and Model 3, the Chinese owned electric vehicle brands are gaining significant ground with brands like BYD and MG taking the market by storm. In this episode we ask why and explore how Chinese EVs have captured so much attention and new registrations, why the Australian car market often gets overlooked by global car makers, what else is coming and could Australia ever see the day where it takes up EV manufacturing?
