A few days ago, according to a spokesman for the Commonwealth Association of Automation Industries (FCAI) in Australia, competition in the automotive market should be supported; "Increased competition has ensured that Australian consumers are able to buy a wide range of models that match their different lifestyles, needs and price points," he said in the interview. The advent of Chinese-made cars has strengthened consumer choice, allowing Australian consumers to buy the car that best suits their needs for work, play and family. ”
It is understood that SAIC's MG brand ZS EV model has achieved great success in the Australian market, and plans to launch two models this year, the MG3 PHEV and the Cyberster EV. At the same time, the BYD brand also launched three models in the Australian market, the Atto 3, Dolphin and Seal, and the sales volume slightly exceeded that of the Tesla brand model in January this year. At the same time, Xpeng, Geely, Changan and Leapmotor all plan to enter the Australian market one after another.
As of now, demand for electric vehicles in the Australian market is still growing, with 98,000 units sold in 2023, accounting for more than half of Australia's total electric vehicle ownership, while the Australian Renewable Energy Agency has committed $500 million to expand its electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
