Yes, as per my OP, TAS and SA are doing “data cleansing” and upgrading their systems to properly (or better) record motive power.Our state transport department is working to provide categorisation of vehicle registration data based on propulstion type etc. My recent registration notice had "NA" under number of cylinders (previously it was categorised as 4-cylinder, so some progress on that aspect).
"do not collect statistics" - to be charitable they must have misunderstood the question or assumed a strict technical definition of statistics.TAS also told me they do not collect statistics by manufacturer, which seems rather extraordinary...
Exactly, the information must be there. I’ll PM you the text of the email I got.See the screenshot below from Transport Tasmania's registration check website, obviously their database has the necessary fields (even if the field definition is simply text it could be extracted).
SA are in the process of cleansing their motive power data, so cannot advise at the moment how many BEVs are registered in SA but told me the number of Teslas.

Is australia still a country? Seems more like half a dozen states with incompetent pollies opening and closing borders at whim.Love it - I assume you mean Australia the island, as opposed to Australia, the country
Are you the same @Ross1 from Tassie that used to frequent Tesla’s Model 3 forum?
There are now just over 15000 Tesla arrived in Australia since 2014. One third of them have arrived in the first half of 2021.Some of you may recall my frustration expressed in this thread Tesla market share of BEVs in NSW regarding the absence of national data on BEVs and Teslas.
So instead of remaining frustrated, I contacted the relevant authority in every state and territory of Australia to source the data directly. It was an interesting exercise. Some jurisdictions were brilliant to deal with - WA, QLD and SA take a bow. WA answered and provided the data within hours. QLD was not far behind and offered to produce a bespoke report for me quarterly. SA are in the process of cleansing their motive power data, so cannot advise at the moment how many BEVs are registered in SA but told me the number of Teslas. VIC was acceptable - it took a week before they got back to me, but were responsive once I got a dialogue going.
At the back of the pack were the rest. For ACT I had to fill out a form (the only jurisdiction requiring it) and it took nearly 3 weeks to get the data. NT asked me to explain why I required the data, and if they agreed to supply it, a $200 fee would be applicable. In the end I contacted the policy officer for electric vehicles in the NT who provided what she could without charge, but could not tell me how many Teslas there are. TAS were just slow in responding and are also doing a motive power data cleansing exercise like SA so could not provide what I requested, but also said they do not collect statistics by manufacturer, so the number of Teslas in TAS will remain a mystery.
The other challenge is each jurisdiction classify vehicles differently - so I needed to be very precise about what data I wanted (BEV light passenger vehicles, and not vans, motorcycles, trucks or non-BEVs like PHEVs or other hybrids). Even then, I cannot guarantee the data that I ended up with is completely clean and comparable but it's as good as it gets for the moment.
So drumroll... here's the (almost) national data on passenger BEVs and Teslas as at the end of 2019:
View attachment 520519
So there you have it... by now we would be approaching 7000 Teslas in Australia, and they hold about 60% of the national market in passenger BEVs!
Interesting that Tesla's WA's market share is the lowest (presumably a result of limited presence there / no SCs for a long time) and that VIC has more passenger BEVs than NSW (but not as many Teslas) - possibly because it's a small state and people are not as range sensitive as in the larger states?
It was also a lesson for me to be more consistent in my NSW reporting. The NSW BEV tally above removes all the non-light passenger vehicles which is why the number is a fair bit smaller than reported in my other thread.
Cheers!
Wow!There are now just over 15000 Tesla arrived in Australia since 2014. One third of them have arrived in the first half of 2021.
Wow... no wonder we don’t get the ‘wave’ anymore in Sydney... Teslas are becoming like ToyotasThere are now just over 15000 Tesla arrived in Australia since 2014. One third of them have arrived in the first half of 2021.
The concerning part is the number of petrol cars if you ratio that upWow... no wonder we don’t get the ‘wave’ anymore in Sydney... Teslas are becoming like Toyotas
Rarely do I go for a drive now, even short ones in my local area, and not see another Model 3.
It is , I have the same forum n ame.Is australia still a country? Seems more like half a dozen states with incompetent pollies opening and closing borders at whim.
Agreed.Rarely do I go for a drive now, even short ones in my local area, and not see another Model 3.
I did the RHD Waiting Room thread there, among others. bj was my handle.It is , I have the same forum name.
Who were you there?
I filled out the same one. I'm actually driving an Avis rental right now and was wishing they had EVs for hire!I did the customer survey this morning from Avis asking if I would be interesting in a electric vehicle to rent in the future. Evidently the rental market is looking at EV's now.
@bj: thrilled to see you here!I did the RHD Waiting Room thread there, among others. bj was my handle.
