AutoExec Summary
The US Government has reduced its electric vehicle targets, expecting them to make up 35-56% of new car sales by 2032. In Australia, the Labor Party previously projected EV sales to be 208% higher than the government’s 2030 projections, but the current Albanese Labor Government has not set specific targets. Some states have set their own targets, with Victoria aiming for 50% zero-emission vehicles by 2030 and the Australian Capital Territory aiming for 80-90% by 2030. A 2019 report projected EVs to reach 27% of new vehicle sales by 2030, but last year they already had a 7.2% market share.
