August 2022
Pressure mounted on government and industry in August, as debates over fuel efficiency standards, EV self-regulation, and the car industry's secret emissions plans all came to a head. EVs and solar power were framed as foundational to Australia's renewable superpower ambitions, and a study found EV ownership could save drivers $1,300 per year. On the quirky side, a used Tesla Model 3 was found selling for $91,000 — more than a new one — underscoring the intense demand and limited supply squeezing the Australian EV market.
