The Long Tail of BEV Sales in Australia - CleanTechnica
The article from CleanTechnica provides an in-depth look at the diversity and sales performance of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Australia for October 2025, focusing beyond the top-selling models. Australia, lacking domestic car production and reliant on imported vehicles, saw 19 BEV models selling more than 50 units each in that month alone, illustrating a broad and varied market. Notable models outside the top ten included the Zeekr 7X (178 units), Volvo EX30 (122), Toyota BZ4X (121), MG4 (106), and Audi Q6 e-tron (101), among others. The list featured mainly SUVs and a strong presence of European brands (11 models), with Chinese brands (6 models), a single American model, and only one Japanese model (Toyota). The article highlights the mixed reception of certain models, such as the underwhelming Toyota BZ4X, and praises others like the MG4 and Polestar 4 for their

The article highlights the significant growth of electric vehicle (EV) sales in Australia, driven in part by Chinese manufacturer BYD's aggressive pricing strategy. In the third quarter of 2025, the market share for hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric vehicles surpassed 30 percent for the first time, with battery electric cars alone accounting for 9.7 percent of new car sales—a record high. This shift reflects a broader trend of Australians moving away from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, which saw a decline in sales and market share. Industry experts, including Aman Gaur from the Australian Electric Vehicle Council, emphasize the importance of continued government support to sustain this momentum, noting that some states have recently withdrawn EV incentives, potentially hindering progress. BYD's role in the Australian EV market is particularly notable due to its strategy of lowering prices on most of its models, making EVs more accessible to consumers. For example, the entry-level Atto 1 city car is now priced under A$

Electric vehicle (EV) sales in Australia during July 2025 showed a notable slowdown after a strong June, with Tesla deliveries dropping from nearly 5,000 in June to just over 900 Model Ys and Model 3s combined. Despite BYD’s impressive 160% year-on-year growth, it was insufficient to offset the overall decline. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 6.9% of the Australian market in July, with 7,129 BEVs sold out of a total 104,244 vehicles. When combined with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the market penetration reached about 10.5%, consistent with the average monthly rate for the year. However, sales data remain incomplete due to some manufacturers, such as Xpeng, not publicly releasing figures despite visible presence on the roads. The top-selling BEVs for July included the BYD Sealion 7, Tesla Model Y, and Geely EX5, with BYD models dominating

In June 2025, electric vehicle (EV) sales in Australia reached a significant milestone, with 15% of new vehicle sales being plug-in models—10% battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 5% plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This totaled 19,369 EVs sold out of 127,437 new vehicles, defying expectations of a decline following the end of Fringe Benefits Tax exemptions for PHEVs. Tesla led BEV sales with the Model Y as the top seller, followed by Chinese brands like BYD, which dominated the PHEV segment. The market is increasingly influenced by Chinese manufacturers, with many of the top-selling EVs and brands originating from China, signaling a shift in Australia’s automotive landscape. The article highlights ongoing trends and uncertainties, such as whether the surge in EV sales is driven by end-of-financial-year incentives or rising petrol prices due to Middle East tensions.
