"An analysis of Australian battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales each year since
2010 indicates that we are already on track to reach 80 per cent market
penetration by 2030.

This may sound surprising, but BEV sales have been growing exponentially since
they first went on sale here in the early 2010s.

The milestone of more than 100 sales was surpassed in 2012, made up of the
Mitsubishi i-MiEV and first generation Nissan Leaf. Five years later in 2017,
we passed 1,000 vehicles, and just 4 years after that there were 17,243 EVs
sold in 2021.  Four years later again in 2025, that figure reached 103,269."
