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.
“Although zero emissions vehicles are now offered by 68% of these entities, many still sell far more fuel vehicles and have achieved the target largely by offering more fuel-efficient vehicles.” said Mr James Pickering, President, AEVA.
“Further, the number of entities selling only BEV or hybrid vehicles has increased dramatically since the NVES commenced, offering wide consumer choice and delivering real cost savings for their transport energy bills, particularly when charging their EV’s on Australia’s renewable energy. This is good for consumers.” observed Mr Pickering.
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.
