Cost of living pressures force Australians to reconsider their vehicle choices and maintenance

AutoExec Summary
Australians are considering electric vehicles (EVs) as a more appealing option due to rising living costs, with potential savings on fuel and maintenance being key factors influencing their next vehicle purchase. However, a significant number of Australians remain sceptical about making the switch from traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. The lack of widespread and reliable charging infrastructure is a major deterrent for many, with 88% still relying on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) CEO Stuart Charity believes more support is needed to ensure a seamless transition to EVs, including government policies and initiatives to support sustainable transportation.
