  • EVs have always been about fuel security

    In the light of the market uncertainty following the latest attacks on Iran, the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) has called on governments to strengthen their commitment to the electrification of transport. Noting that AEVA was formed under near-identical circumstances in the oil crisis of 1973, the AEVA National President (James Pickering) said “Our objectives today remain unchanged, and the circumstances motivating us are sadly unchanged, too.” AEVA argues that the full electrification of transport remains the single most effective strategy the nation can enact to improve fuel security.

  • NVES on track to bring us more EVs

    AEVA has welcomed the 2025 NVES results showing that 40 out of 59 regulated entities met or exceeded their targets, indicating conclusively that the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) is working well. In AEVA's view, the NVES is working as planned, although the first year could be considered a rehearsal as entities get organised to participate in the system. AEVA looks forward to the planned NVES review in late 2026, and to seeing what the NVES data tells us in February 2027.
