From the report

Cheaper models and rising fuel prices have supercharged Australia’s electric vehicle sales and preceded a tipping point for the industry.

How outlets headlined it

Each outlet's own headline. ~~Struck through~~: the loaded words our version leaves out. Plainest first.

The Sydney Morning Herald One EV sold every 100 seconds: More electric cars to hit Australia’s roads plain
The Guardian Australia An EV sold every 100 seconds: Australian demand for electric cars more than doubles plain

This is a summary. The indicators are not. The scores were measured over this summary alone, which is less of the article than we would like and makes them less certain.

How each outlet filed it

Also covered by WAtoday, The Age, Brisbane Times. We hold only their summary of it, not the report, so there is nothing of theirs to measure here.
