Monthly Sales of Electric Vehicles in Australia by Brand and Model for the Year 2025
In a significant leap for electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia, the year 2025 has witnessed a surge in monthly sales compared to previous years, with some fluctuations across months and brands.
A Record-Breaking June
June 2025 marked a milestone, with EVs accounting for 15% of new vehicle sales in Australia. This was largely driven by Tesla's resurgence and BYD's strong plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sales. A total of 13,169 BEVs were sold in June alone, representing 10% of total vehicles, while 6,200 PHEVs were sold, accounting for 5%. 1
Tesla's Performance
Tesla played a significant role in the mid-2025 surge, with the Model Y and Model 3 leading sales in May and June 2025. Over 7,000 Model Y deliveries were recorded during those months. However, Tesla experienced a sharp sales plunge in July 2025, with only 555 units sold. 3, 5
BYD's Emergence
BYD emerged as the market leader in July 2025, with the BYD Sealion 7 SUV outselling the Tesla Model Y nearly threefold that month. This boosted EV sales despite Tesla’s decline. 3, 5
July Sales Slump
Despite the strong performance in July, overall EV sales fell to 6.9% of the market, with 7,129 BEVs sold out of 104,244 vehicles. 3, 5
PHEV Sales Remain Strong
Plug-in hybrid sales continue to be strong, growing about 81% year-on-year, contributing to an approximate combined BEV+PHEV penetration averaging 10.5% for 2025 so far. 1, 5
