Here’s a list of every EV on sale today in Australia, how far they’ll go and how much they cost to buy before on-road charges, or before any rebates, discounts or incentives are applied. We’ve chosen the rangiest model available in the line-up, including those where a larger battery is available.

Toyota’s accelerated global roll-out of battery electric vehicles seems certain to benefit Australia where the Toyota electric ute could be on-sale as soon as 2024. Australia’s number one selling car brand will launch its first BEV in October or November when the bZ4X medium SUV – a rival for the dominant Tesla Model Y – goes on-sale.

4, the Q4 e-Tron will be available in a regular SUV body style or a sleeker Sportback, each with a 77kWh battery. If the early arrival of the yet-to-be-named electric ute has the sort of impact the fledgling brand has had on other segments then it could be a wake-up to the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger that dominate ute sales in Australia.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. One oversight is the warranty, which is an undernourished four years or 80,000km (double that for the high voltage battery). Our car also had a bigger battery, which adds $5000. Sure, there are cheaper options. Plus it had two option packs.

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.

The top selling brand has been caught flat-footed in the EV race and in 2023 we will see the arrival of the company’s first battery electric vehicle, the bZ4X. It’s not due to reach Australia until late 2023, but I drove it at its international media launch in Spain in early 2022. Biggest EV surprise of 2022.

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.

BYD is a new brand to Australia, but it’s by no means a new brand in its homeland of China. Short story is that the relative unknown in Australia is one of the top EV manufacturers in the world.

The familiarity of a Mazda – a brand long and successfully established in Australia – gives the MX-30 Electric a strong trump card here. Reason behind fitting a titchy 35.5kWh battery – offering the mere 200km range – was Mazda’s ‘well-to-wheel’ philosophy. Engaging to drive?
