"Australia’s latest VFACTS and EVC data confirms what we’ve been charting all
year: EV sales are multiplying, ICE is slowly losing control of the market, and
the power EV dealers are supplying is genuinely electrifying.
China now dominates as the source of those vehicles, while grease and petrol
and diesel look so “last century” with every monthly update.
As Tim Minchin might put it, the sun is finally coming out on Australia’s
electric age – and this time it’s science, not faith, doing the work.
The May 2026 figures show another big jump for battery electrics.
Tesla’s Model Y has topped the national sales charts, while BYD remains the
leading EV brand on year-to-date volumes, and Zeekr has emerged as the
fastest-growing new player.
EV sales overall are up more than 110 per cent year-on-year, a doubling that
reflects both rising demand and a rapidly widening model mix. Every month, more
Australians discover that the supposed compromises of EVs were mostly theatre;
the weekend, it turns out, was never really at risk."
