Australia's electric vehicle sales have surged sharply in 2026, making up over 23% of new car sales, but the charging infrastructure risks lagging behind due to ownership fragmentation and resource constraints among operators like councils. Major companies and government funding are rapidly expanding fast-charging networks, yet maintenance and network reliability remain critical challenges.
