How well do electric cars work in Australia?
I’m going to be moving to Australia soon and am selling the electric car that I have been driving in the states. Do electric cars work well in Australia, and will I be able to buy one there?

Much like the rest of the world,
electric cars
have been gaining popularity in Australia, but supply chain issues have made them hard to come by. The country also is underserved compared to other parts of the world due to a lack of government-mandated EV and climate policies. Many electric cars are instead exported to countries that require them to meet fuel efficiency standards or climate change initiatives. While the Australian government has invested some money and resources into making electric cars more accessible, it is still the only country in the OECD to have fuel efficiency standards for CO2.
If you are thinking about getting an electric car in Australia, be prepared to spend some time on a waiting list.
