SUVs lead in Australia.
Australia offers a view of demand in Oceania, with coverage limited to its national market.
Explore Oceania →RAC reports these leaders; EVC confirms Model Y. We do not extrapolate to New Zealand or use RAC’s inconsistent aggregate figures.
Australia as a window into the market
The Electric Vehicle Council confirms 22,239 Australian Model Y deliveries in 2025, with annual growth of 4.6%.
The model selection is supplemented by motoring association RAC WA. The sample is identified as Australia: it does not automatically include New Zealand or other Oceania markets. The EVC’s monthly report also only covers participating brands. This is why we keep the source of each figure visible.
[S9][S10]Your usual route before maximum battery capacity
Editorial perspective: prepare three journeys: your daily commute, a weekend outing and a longer trip. For each, note the distance, occupants and luggage. Use these needs to compare cars of similar size and decide which situations your purchase should handle comfortably.
Plan specific charging points along the routes you will use. Check opening hours, access and whether you can stop with your luggage. If you carry equipment or tow a trailer, request information for the relevant version and review a consumption estimate adapted to that use.

Before relying on home charging, check installation costs and the tariff you would arrange. If you have solar generation, calculate a scenario using the energy you could actually allocate to the car. Also keep a backup scenario using grid electricity or public charging.
Our editorial approach compares spending under conditions you can repeat. Estimated savings should show the prices used and how much you will drive. A very favourable tariff is only useful if it fits your schedule. With these details, the sales ranking becomes a shortlist for requesting quotes and arranging a test drive.
