Tesla Inc’s electric vehicle (EV) sales are rapidly picking up off a low base in Australia and are set to catch up with sales of its Powerwall home batteries in the country, Chair Robyn Denholm said.
\n“We now have more than 26,500 Teslas on Australian roads, and the momentum is there,” Denholm said at the Australian Clean Energy Summit in Sydney.
\n“I personally wouldn’t be surprised if we double that number by the end of the year,” she said.
\nAustralia makes up about 1% of Tesla EV’s on the road, which totalled 2.5 million globally at the end of the first quarter of 2022. EV’s make up just 2% of new car sales in Australia.
\n“Australia is in a very unique position from an energy perspective, in that we have more Powerwalls installed in Australia than we do have Teslas on the road,” Denholm said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
