* Please note that electric vehicle sales are recorded at the point of delivery, rather than when orders are made.
For reference:
- This is the Electric Vehicle Council’s monthly report of vehicles delivered in Australia - please attribute the data to the Electric Vehicle Council.
- This monthly report only includes sales from some brands only - it does not capture the entire new vehicle sales market in Australia.
- All car brands are welcome to provide their data for this free, public report on a non-exclusive basis. The EVC's aim is for data to be publicly available for all Australian new vehicle sales to enhance transparency and consumer confidence. It welcomes the support of more OEMs in achieving this goal.
Thank you.
