Quarterly reports

DoT collects and analyses WA EV licensing data to better understand trends in the uptake of EVs and support transport and infrastructure planning.

Guide to quarterly reports

The reports provide statistics on the number of EVs licensed in Western Australia by the Department of Transport and identify trends in the uptake of EVs. Information contained in the reports is provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at time of publication. 

The State shall in no way be liable for any loss sustained or incurred by anyone relying on the information. 

EVs referred to in the reports are defined as:

Electric vehicle (EV): A vehicle that is powered by one or more electric motors or traction motors that are the only propulsion system for the vehicle or used in conjunction with another propulsion system. For the purposes of this data, an EV is defined as a battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV). This aligns with the definition and purpose of the State EV Strategy for WA.

Battery electric vehicle (BEV): A vehicle fully powered by an onboard battery that may be recharged via an electrical power source.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV): A vehicle powered by the combination of a battery that may be recharged via an electrical power source and a petrol or diesel internal combustion engine.

Fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV): A vehicle powered by a hydrogen fuel system which has one or more hydrogen fuel containers fitted to the vehicle for the system.

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV): A vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine and a battery that doesn’t have the ability to be recharged from a plug.
