Australia’s largest ever survey of electric vehicle owners has found Tesla drivers are travelling the same average kilometres a year as everyone else.
The number one barrier to transport electrification in Australia today is the low supply of electric vehicle (EV) models. There are hundreds of EV models available overseas, and yet only are fraction of these are being supplied to Australia. This barrier is primarily due to Australia’s lack of mandatory fuel efficiency targets, combined with a lack of national purchase incentives.
