In 2025, Australia finally caught up with most of the world by implementing vehicle fuel efficiency standards – i.e stopping the most polluting cars from entering our market. These cleaner standards are set to prevent 20 million tonnes of climate pollution by 2030.
The NVES is helping a larger range of EVs enter Australia’s market. There are now more than 150 EV models available in Australia (including utes!), compared to just 28 five years ago. At the same time, there is a growing number of more affordable options – we’ve now got a model on the market for as low as $26,000.What are the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards?
