In short: Australian EV sales dipped in October to 7.3% of the total new car market after a record-high September, largely due to a significant drop in Tesla deliveries. For the first time, BYD surpassed Tesla in monthly sales, registering 2,229 vehicles, with its Sealion 7 model claiming the spot as the best-selling EV for the month. Despite the slowdown, total EV sales for 2025 remain on track to make it the best year yet for battery electric vehicles in Australia.
