Chinese carmakers are taking a central role in the growth of electric vehicles in Australia. A broader model range and competitive prices are attracting new customers and expanding the choice available on the market.
The advance of Chinese brands is helping narrow the gap between electric and conventional cars in a country where the transition is slower than in other advanced markets. Stronger competition could further speed up battery-electric vehicle adoption.
