Electric vehicle sales in Australia reached more than 30,000 units in June, representing one in every four new cars sold nationwide, according to Carloop founder Riz Akhtar. The country now sells in a quarter what it used to sell in a year, with annual sales previously around 90,000 to 100,000 units. Charging infrastructure has expanded across urban areas, appearing in fast food car parks, shopping centres, and residential streets.
Why it matters: The surge in EV adoption to 25 per cent market share creates immediate demand for expanded charging networks across retail, hospitality, and residential locations. Procurement teams and charge point operators face accelerating infrastructure requirements as quarterly sales volumes now match previous annual totals.
