Australian Electric Vehicle Sales Hold Steady at 15% in September - CleanTechnica

In September 2025, electric vehicle (EV) sales in Australia remained steady, with over 11,500 new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and nearly 4,500 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) sold, representing a combined market share of 15.7% out of 102,000 new vehicles sold. China has emerged as the second largest supplier of cars to Australia, accounting for nearly 80% of BEV sales. Year-to-date figures show BEVs achieving over 8% market share and PHEVs over 4%, totaling a 12% penetration for plug-equipped vehicles. Notably, Chinese brands BYD and MG have entered the top ten automakers in Australia, with BYD’s Sealion 7 BEV ranking as the 8th best-selling model. BYD’s growing presence is bolstered by strong sales of its PHEV utes and SUVs. Industry leaders emphasize the need for improved charging infrastructure rather than additional subsidies
