EV market
An affordable and competitive EV market enables everyday Australians to consider transitioning to a low emission vehicle.
The Electric Vehicle Council is the national body for the electric vehicle industry in Australia. By representing businesses involved in producing, powering and supporting EVs, we aim to accelerate the electrification of road transport for a more sustainable and prosperous Australia.
We continuously carry out significant research and industry engagement to develop a strong understanding of the barriers preventing mass market uptake of electric vehicles in Australia. Priorities for the advancement of electric vehicles in Australia fall into three categories.
An affordable and competitive EV market enables everyday Australians to consider transitioning to a low emission vehicle.
Strong vehicle emissions standards and regulations encourage manufacturers to import EVs to the Australian market – and encourage industry and consumers to purchase them.
Increased awareness of the benefits and savings of EVs promotes uptake.
We undertake a range of activities to accelerate electrification. These include:
Bringing together corporate, government, academic and community stakeholders to better understand and advance Australia’s electric vehicle market.
Advising and fostering relationships to aggregate demand and supply, raise consumer awareness, and facilitate collaboration.
Demonstrating confidence and building opportunities in Australia’s EV industry and down the supply chain.
