Electric vehicles surge to record Australian sales

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

Electric vehicle sales in Australia surged 150% in May compared to the previous year, now representing one in five new car sales. The Tesla Model Y became the country's top-selling car for the first time ever, while petrol and diesel sales dropped up to 30%. EV owners can save approximately $1,000 annually on running costs and 40% on servicing due to fewer moving parts, though challenges remain with public charging infrastructure and higher insurance premiums.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
