Options are very limited for super-breeders needing more than five seats – although the Kia EV9 due late in 2023 will provide a tantalising option – but a huge advantage of going EV (if built on an electric vehicle-only platform) is roomier and smarter interior packaging compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.

Whether you’re buying a Tesla Model Y , Hyundai Ioniq 5 , Kia EV6 or MG ZS EV , one of the first questions most people have regards the length of the driving range. Not cheap, but a 95kWh battery, 446km range and 150kW DC fast charging are wins. Range anxiety. So just how far can you travel between charges?

Australia’s electric vehicle ranks are only getting more and more crowded, with new options seemingly arriving daily from the big prestige marques like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, as well as more mainstream brands like Kia. The Luxury is the cheaper of two RZ450e models, but that doesn’t actually make it cheap.

Dedicated city cars with cheap-feeling cabins, but rarer than a Pagani Zonda on our shores. Kia Niro – from $39,000 2021 Kia Niro Electric. 2021 Lexus UX300e – from $56,000 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge – from $62,000 2018 Jaguar I-Pace – from $65,100 (only 18,000km!)

It isn’t cheap, though – check the Toyota website to see the costs for your own circumstances. Recharging is 11kW for AC charging, and up to 150kW for DC charging, with the bZ4X running a 400-volt architecture. But it’s cheap for the first five years, at $180 per visit. Choose FWD, and the 0-100km/h time is 7.5

The Model Y is not the best driving EV of 2022 (it’s still comfortably outdone by the Kia EV6 and the Tesla Model 3 is nicer to drive, too) or the most daring (I’d stick the Genesis GV60 high on that list). The Audi e-Tron GT , Kia EV6 GT and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N would be at the top of that list. Kia Niro EV GT-Line review.

No new electric vehicle sold in Australia is cheap, but the BYD Atto 3 is definitely among the most affordable. The similarly-sized Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV are thousands of dollars more expensive. The Extended comes with a 60.48kWh battery that produces a claimed 420km range between recharges (also WLTP).
