Multiple outlets report that Australians are buying a record number of new cars, and that battery-powered electric vehicles make up a larger share of those sales than before. Both sources say one in five new cars sold is electric, indicating a significant shift in the mix of new vehicles entering the market. The articles describe the change as a “turning point,” linking it to rising overall new-car demand alongside increased adoption of electric models. They do not provide additional breakdowns, such as which states account for the highest shares, model-specific figures, or year-on-year comparisons beyond the statement that electric vehicles now represent more of new sales than ever before. Overall, the coverage focuses on the combined trend of record new-car purchases and electric vehicles taking a growing portion of the market.
