Last month 84,161 units were sold, beating last years 72,505 for the same month, with an increase of 16.1%.

That is a remarkable effort given that there have been production delays. Covid has strip-mined the auto industry, along with just about every other industry on the planet. Added to that, parts have been scarce, with super-conductors having a particularly hard time of it. Once the cars are built, there are then delays with shipping, making for an all-round shit show.

LCV’s, or light commercial vehicles, such as HiLux and Triton, have gone up by a massive 40.9% and SUVs by 15%. Interestingly, the rental car market has boomed, as tourism opened up, at least for us locals. A 231.4% increase is a healthy bonus for executives lucky enough to be in charge of the rental restocking, but things still look dicey, with regular lockdowns a result of poor government oversight.

Here’s the kicker, EV sales have boomed, albeit from a low starting point. Despite Victoria’s appalling EV tax, EV sales have increased by 191.1%, with PHEVs up by 161.3%. NSW saw even bigger jumps, with EVs at a 260% increase. PHEVs went up by 84.9% signaling a bigger move towards pure electric driving in a state without the draconian taxes.
