Welcome to the Electric Vehicle Council 🚘⚡

We are the peak national body representing the electric vehicle industry in Australia.

Representing members from across the value chain of the electric vehicle sector, the EVC is a trusted advisor and advocate to governments and decision makers across Australia.

Our mission is to drive investment and awareness to accelerate the electrification of transport, for a more sustainable and prosperous Australia.

As the market is emerging in Australia, our work is particularly aimed at increasing certainty for investment through policy, knowledge sharing and education.

State of EVs 2024 ⚡️

Our most detailed report to date! Download below for some of the most noteworthy takeaways.

Australia exceeded 100,000 EVs (BEV + PHEV) for the first time Calendar year 2024, which shows 10% market share of new vehicles sold. Meaning there is now over 300,000 EVs on Australian roads.

Public charging locations have effectively doubled in a year - there are now over 1,000 fast-charging sites Australia-wide.

Australia's uptake trajectory is good (+150% in 2 years) but reaching 50% EV market share by 2030 may still be a challenge.

State governments have withdrawn consumer support prematurely - the EVC is calling on them to bring back upfront incentives to help more people get into EVs ASAP.

AUSTRALIA CAN BE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE POWERHOUSE
 
Employing Australians to build batteries, chargers, cars, buses and trucks. Cutting pollution from transport and doing our fair share to combat climate change. Reducing our reliance on foreign oil by using Australian energy to move.
 
We can do all of this. But not while our policies and standards lag the world.
