"Many people believe Australia’s shift to electric vehicles is stuck in the
slow lane – another strollout, rather than a rollout. But while federal
policies are still lacklustre, most Australians themselves are ready for the
shift, according to our recent research.

We found most car-owning households will be able to charge their cars in their
garage or driveway. Electric vehicles are also getting more attractive as
purchase costs fall and battery range rises.

Australia’s world-beating solar uptake is another plus. Many of our three
million solar households would be able to effectively charge their cars for
free at daytime.

Surveys have found 56% of Australians would consider going electric with their
next car purchase, while the share of consumers who would not purchase an
electric car is declining quickly."

Share and enjoy,
