Not even Tesla can overcome Australia’s hostility to electric cars – Sydney Morning Herald
Tesla and the electric-car industry generally thrive in the world’s richest nations. Not so in Australia, where even tractors outsell EVs two to one.
That risks leaving Australia with the dregs of global EV production and a charging network struggling for investment.
The government appears to be at best indifferent, at worst opposed, to zero-emission vehicles, Volkswagen said in a statement. Australian regulation is in some respects comparable to that of a third-world country.
While EV sales in Australia may pick up when they cost the same as traditional cars, demand is still projected to be slow.
