The Model Y result was the main driver of Tesla's April increase, with deliveries rising from 280 units in April 2025 to 822 in April 2026.

The Tesla Model 3 also increased for the month, with 403 deliveries compared with 220 in April last year.

However, the Model 3 remains down year to date, with 1766 deliveries in 2026 compared with 2266 over the first four months of 2025.

Polestar's result was led by the Polestar 4, which recorded 190 deliveries in April and 499 year to date.

The Polestar 2 recorded 43 April deliveries, while the Polestar 3 recorded no April deliveries.

New South Wales recorded the largest year-to-date increase among states and territories listed in the report.

EVC data shows NSW deliveries reached 3019 vehicles between January and April 2026, up 65.9 per cent compared with the same period in 2025.

Victoria followed with 2717 year-to-date deliveries, up 54.5 per cent, while Queensland reached 1899 deliveries, up 55.9 per cent.

Western Australia was the only state or territory listed with a year-to-date decline, falling 6.9 per cent from 855 to 796 deliveries.

The EVC says electric vehicle sales are recorded at the point of delivery, rather than when orders are made.
