For topological groups with left-invariant metrics, results concerning expansive automorphisms emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, mostly for compact groups. The structure theory of totally disconnected locally compact groups, initiated in 1994 by \\textit{G. Willis} [Math. Ann. 300, No. 2, 341--363 (1994; Zbl 0811.22004)], enabled progress concerning expansive automorphisms of the latter groups (and the special case of contractive automorphisms) in the last decade, and most recently (via work of \\textit{R. Shah} [New York J. Math. 26, 285--302 (2020; Zbl 1435.22005)]) also for general locally compact groups. If \\(G\\) is a metrizable locally compact group, then the set \\(\\text{Sub}_G\\) of all closed subgroups of~\\(G\\) is a compact, metrizable topological space in a natural way, using the Chabauty topology introduced in the 1950s. In the last decade, \\(\\text{Sub}_G\\) and the Chabauty topology thereon attracted considerable interest (see [\\textit{P.-E. Caprace} (ed.) and \\textit{N. Monod} (ed.), New directions in locally compact groups. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (2018; Zbl 1390.22004)]). Every automorphism \\(T\\) of~\\(G\\) induces a homeo\\-morphism \\(\\text{Sub}_G\\to \\text{Sub}_G\\), \\(H \\mapsto T(H)\\) and a corresponding homeomorphism of the compact subset \\(\\text{Sub}^a_G\\) of abelian closed subgroups of \\(G\\). Among other topics, the article investigates the question for which \\(G\\) an automorphism \\(T\\) can be found such that the corresponding homeomorphism of \\(\\text{Sub}_G\\) (resp., \\(\\text{Sub}^a_G\\)) is expansive. The authors show that whenever a locally compact group \\(G\\) admits an automorphism \\(T\\) which acts expansively on \\(\\text{Sub}_G\\), then \\(G\\) is totally disconnected, \\(T\\) is expansive and the contraction group \\(C(T):=\\{g\\in G\\colon \\lim_{n\\to\\infty} T^n(g)=e\\}\\) is closed in \\(G\\) (see Theorem 4.1). Moreover, \\(C(T)\\cong {\\mathbb Q}_{p_1}\\times\\cdots\\times {\\mathbb Q_{p_k}}\\) for certain primes \\(p_1<\\cdots
