AADA Closing Session: Electric Vehicles, Dealers and Australia: The Big Picture

AADA Central

The shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is picking up pace, which will only increase the closer we get to 2030. Yet demand for EVs in Australia is not as high as in many other countries, hampered by high upfront cost, range anxiety, long recharging times and lack of consumer choice.

In this feature panel session, speakers from key industry sectors come together to discuss the many challenges to embracing EVs, such as infrastructure, taxation, government policy, consumer sentiment and the need to increase choice, through supply, within the Australian market.

AADA CEO James Voortman will host the panel featuring OEM representatives and Auto Industry experts to discuss the future of the EV market in Australia and the need for implementation of successful, relevant government policy to drive a sustainable EV roadmap.
