"Electric vehicle sales are surging. Australian sales doubled in 2022 to 3.8%
of all new vehicle purchases, and were up 780% in the first two months of 2023
compared to a year ago.
In the United States, Europe and China, the market share of electric vehicles
is much higher, helped by greater government support. As industry journal
Automotive News put it:
The electric vehicle revolution isn’t coming – it’s already here.
And the revolution is accelerating. US moves to adopt strict new vehicle
emissions standards could drive up electric vehicle sales tenfold. Old
carmaking plants have already been revived.
There are bound to be flow-on effects in Australia, where the government is
about to release a national electric vehicle strategy and new vehicle emission
standards.
The rise of electric vehicles creates significant job opportunities, especially
for nations with car-making experience – like Australia. A 2022 report by the
Australia Institute’s Carmichael Centre identified it as a “once in a lifetime
opportunity” to resurrect Australia’s car industry in an “environmentally and
socially transformative way”."
