Fast Technology March 31 news: As the situation in the Middle East escalates and triggers a global energy chain reaction, Australia is facing a serious fuel supply crisis.

According to reports, due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade that has driven international oil prices soaring, retail gasoline prices across many places in Australia have already risen to 2.52-2.6 Australian dollars per liter (about RMB 12.4-12.9 yuan), and the supply gap continues to widen.

For comparison, charging a 60 kWh electric vehicle from empty to full only costs about 24 Australian dollars, meaning fuel costs are about 4 times the electricity cost.

With oil prices surging, many residents in Australia have turned their attention to Chinese EVs.

The report says that now several BYD stores in Australia are seeing a surge in foot traffic, with sales up more than 50% year over year. Some models are already out of stock, and customers are lining up while waiting for BYD roll-on/roll-off ship deliveries to arrive at port.

In popular stores such as those in Melbourne, daily sales often exceed 10 vehicles. Some salespeople have already sold more than 100 new BYD cars in less than a month. The problem now is that they don’t know how to deliver cars—customers are pushing relentlessly, and everyone is waiting for BYD roll-on/roll-off ship arrivals.

Other data shows that BYD’s sales in Australia in 2025 reached 52,000 units, up 156% year over year, with multiple models ranking near the top on the sales charts. And now, under the impact of oil price shocks, it’s expected that more residents in Australia this year will become owners of BYD and other Chinese EV brands.
