Electric Vehicles

In reply to the Hon. F. PANGALLO (4 March 2021).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): I have been advised:

There were 123 new battery electric vehicles sold in South Australia between 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2021.

The official mechanism for reporting new vehicle sales is the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI). Tesla as a manufacturer choose not to report their sales to FCAI, so the vehicle sale numbers exclude Tesla vehicles.
