March 2026
Soaring petrol prices are driving a surge in Australian EV interest, with EV loans doubling and Westpac research confirming renewed consumer appetite for electric cars. The EU–Australia free trade deal promises cheaper EVs and broader economic opportunity, while debate intensifies over Labor's plan to phase out popular EV tax incentives — even as the Nissan Leaf picks up a global women's car award and Volvo's boss predicts EVs will undercut petrol cars by 2030. Internationally, EVs have outsold petrol cars in the EU for the first time ever, and electrifying freight between Sydney and Melbourne is highlighted as a compelling economic no-brainer.
