In2024,the Federal Government passed legislation to introduce a New Vehicle EfficiencyStandard(NVES)for light vehicles.To be implemented from 2025,the NVES will play asignificant role in helping Australians have more choices in cost-competitive low and zero- The need for a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is two-fold: i) helping Australians to access thebest low and zero emission vehicles to reduce their transport costs; and ii) reducing our Withour country highly dependent on foreign fuel,Australians are exposed to thevolatileglobal oil market,and too often have to pay for it at the fuel pump.Electric The average Australian drives around 40 kilometres per day, however, those living in outersuburbs or regional areas drive even greater distances and stand to save much more from Thesecond major benefit of the NVES is its role in cutting our national carbonemissions. Transport makes up about one-fifth of Australia’s emissions, with the vast majorityof emissions coming from cars, followed by trucks. Based on current trends, it is likely that Globally,the adoption of EVs continues to increase,with EVs now comprising over 18percent of new light vehicle sales around the world.1 In Australia, EV uptake has hit newrecordseach year,reflecting increased recognition of their significant economic, Anothercrucial element that contributed to recent EV growth in Australia has beenthe expansion of our country’s national charging network. As of July 2024, there were over1,000locations across the country offering fast or ultra-fast charging. The EVC strongly Challenges and setbacks WhilethepassingoftheNVESandincreasingappetiteforEVsarebothpromising First,the EVC notes that several states,namely New South Wales,Victoria,Queenslandand South Australia, have prematurely ceased offering purchase incentives for EVs. To meetsales and carbon emission reduction targets set by these governments, the EVC strongly Thisapproach is informed by international examples where sustained incentives havesuccessfully driven EV adoption to critical mass. Beyond this threshold, the EV market isexpected to sustain itself without the need for such financial incentives – in part due to the Purchaseincentives are always temporary,but when withdrawn prematurely,andabruptly, they risk shocking the market. A planned and progressive phaseout of incentivesshould be carried out to smooth the transition.

TheEVC has been clear that across the transport system, a holistic net zero transport strategymust be developed. This needs to consider options across the Avoid-Shift-Improve framework Strong and sustained supply and demand policies are necessary to drive EV adoption across It is equally important that we harness the significant economic opportunities that theglobal EVtransitionprovidesforAustralia,includingpathwaystodevelopnewindustrieswithinthe battery andvehicle value chains.An embrace of the holistic lifecycle of EVs and State of EVs 2024 The 2024 State of EVs report provides our latest annual assessment of Australian federal, stateandterritory government’s performance with respect to electric vehicle policy,combined This edition builds on our 2023 Australian Electric Vehicle Industry Recap, released in February2024. We will continue to release full-year industry recaps in the first quarter of each year and The Electric Vehicle Council looks forward to continuing to work with Australian governments,industry,consumers and our members to champion Australia’s transition to an electrified Our Teamat the EVC02 Samantha JohnsonChief Executive Officer Jake WhiteheadChief Scientist Ross De RangoHead of Energy & Natalie ThompsonChief of Staff / Senior Aman GaurHead of Legal, Policy& Advocacy Mark StephensEV Data Analyst Michael ShaughnessyEV Infrastructure Umair AfzalPrograms and Cameron RimingtonSenior Policy Adviser Graeme TrebleyPartnershipManager Nicole BeerEvents Manager Bailey SievewrightOperations Officer The End of an Era at the Electric TheElectric Vehicle Council would liketo take the opportunity to acknowledgethe significant contributions our former EV industry, and broader EV policy space in Australia, over the better part of the last During Behyad’s time as CEO of the EVC he played an instrumental r
