Electric vehicle sales surge amid petrol price pain

Electric vehicle sales in Australia have surged to record levels, with dealerships reporting 25 EVs sold in just three days compared to the usual eight per month. More than 11,000 electric cars were sold nationally in February alone, double the number from the same time last year, driven by petrol prices reaching $2.50 per litre. Both new and second-hand EV sales are experiencing unprecedented demand, with Pickles Auctions reporting a 30% uplift in EV searches as Australians seek to save approximately $3,000 per year on running costs.
