The price of electric vehicles is still proving a speed bump in Australia, a report has found, and government rebates may not be addressing the issue.
But the research by Pureprofile, released on Wednesday, also found a greater number of Australians intended to buy low-emission vehicles in the next five years, and those who already drove electric cars intended to buy another in future.
The research comes a month after the federal government revealed laws to bring more electric vehicles to Australia, and after sales figures showed electric cars made up almost 10 per cent of new car purchases.
Pureprofile’s latest electric vehicle study, which followed a similar report in August 2023, surveyed more than 2000 Australians and more than 1000 New Zealanders about electric transport.
