The latest data from the Electric Vehicle Council shows:

• Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) accounted for 36% of new car sales in August 2026

• BEVs alone hit a record 24.9% share

Meanwhile, petrol and diesel vehicles combined accounted for well under half of new car sales for the month.

Electric Vehicle Council CEO Julie Delvecchio said greater choice and more competitive pricing are making the switch to electric easier for more Australians.

Almost 200 EV models are now available in Australia across different price points, sizes and features. So, if you’re considering going electric, there are more options than ever.
