Why it matters to operators and investors

A rise in EV share of passenger vehicle retail from 5.7% to 8.5% in September 2026 points to a real mix shift at dealerships, so favour companies with strong EV order books, but confirm the trend holds beyond one month of FADA data.

What to watch next

  • FADA's October retail data: whether EV penetration holds above 8.5% or falls back
  • Whether monthly electric PV retail volumes stay above September's 36,108 units
  • New EV launches, price cuts or discount announcements from major passenger vehicle makers
  • Any change to central or state EV incentives, taxes or charging-infrastructure policy
  • Dealer commentary on EV inventory levels, waiting periods or delivery delays
