While it’s not cheap, the EV9 comes loaded with equipment and technology to help justify a circa-$100K starting price when it arrives in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2023. It will get the smaller of the two available battery packs (with 76.1kWh of capacity) and get a single electric motor driving the rear wheels.

Tesla Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive, Kia EV6 Air, Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD, Polestar 2 Single Motor Long Range. In each instance we’ve chosen the most affordable options using a single electric motor for propulsion, although in the case of the Polestar it had options fitted. Each of our quartet has a single electric motor driving two wheels.

Kia Niro EV review: It was only in 2021 that Kia introduced the Niro nameplate to Australia. Australia received the Niro very late in its model cycle and it was never intended to be a stayer. While brief, the original Niro’s fleeting lifespan also helped Kia Australia better understand the EV market and what consumers want.

It isn’t cheap, though – check the Toyota website to see the costs for your own circumstances. The entry-level version has a pretty punchy powertrain, with a single electric motor mounted at the front axle producing 150kW and 266Nm, while the dual-motor AWD version has 160kW and 337Nm.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations.

For families, the bottom line is usually more important than dual motor acceleration or fancy seat trim that kids just wipe muck over anyway. Not cheap, but there still feels like decent value here. Service intervals are annual or every 25,000km, and aren’t cheap for an EV. You can drive one away for a whisker under $100k.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not.
