In a recent post on X, Elon Musk lauded Tesla Australia in reaction to this post from Tesla Australia and New Zealand: “For the first time ever, EVs outsold ICE vehicles in Australia 🇦🇺 Model Y was the #1 vehicle & Tesla the #3 best-selling brand overall for the month of August.”
“Congrats Tesla Australia!” Musk responded.
It wasn’t just a triumph for Tesla. Over 35% of all vehicles sold in the month of August in Australia had a plug! Out of the 109,000 cars sold, 27,000 were BEVs (up 170% YOY) and 10,591 were PHEVs.
