Australia's 7 best-selling EVs are now all Chinese -- even Tesla's
https://electrek.co/2026/07/10/australia-top-7-evs-all-chinese/Australia just posted its biggest month ever for electric car sales, and for the first time seven different EVs each cleared 1,000 units in a single month.
Every one of them is either Chinese-owned or Chinese-built — and that includes the Tesla Model Y that topped the chart, which rolls off the line in Shanghai.
According to The Driven, which broke down the June registration data, only one or two EVs used to reliably top 1,000 monthly sales in Australia — usually the Tesla Model Y, the Model 3, or the BYD Sealion 7.
In June, that number jumped to seven. Five new Chinese models joined the Model Y and Sealion 7 near the top, while the Model 3 slid all the way to 12th place.
