What Happened to EV Sales in New Zealand? September Update - CleanTechnica
New Zealand’s electric vehicle (EV) sales have sharply declined following a period of rapid growth between 2021 and 2023, driven largely by a government feebate scheme incentivizing low-emission vehicles. This policy change created an initial surge in EV adoption, resembling an S-curve pattern. However, in 2024, the cancellation of the feebate scheme and the introduction of a Road User Charge (RUC) on EVs led to a significant drop in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales, which have since remained stagnant. By the September 2025 quarter, BEVs accounted for only 5% of new vehicle sales, while hybrid vehicles have slowly gained market share.

Electric vehicle (EV) sales in Australia during July 2025 showed a notable slowdown after a strong June, with Tesla deliveries dropping from nearly 5,000 in June to just over 900 Model Ys and Model 3s combined.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for 6.9% of the Australian market in July, with 7,129 BEVs sold out of a total 104,244 vehicles. When combined with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the market penetration reached about 10.5%, consistent with the average monthly rate for the year. However, sales data remain incomplete due to some manufacturers, such as Xpeng, not publicly releasing figures despite visible presence on the roads. The top-selling BEVs for July included the BYD Sealion 7, Tesla Model Y, and Geely EX5, with BYD models dominating
