Its natural EV rivals are the GWM Ora and MG4 , but the Dolphin also competes with many petrol-powered hatchbacks. That’s important because it makes it a viable well-specified alternative to petrol-powered hatchbacks such as the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, Kia Cerato and Hyundai i30. That’s the car we’ve tested here.

It’s also the first battery electric model from the French brand in Australia, with three more EVs due before the end of 2024, including the larger e-Expert medium van. But the price is high, the equipment content is lower than the cheaper petrol Partner range and load carrying also takes a hit. Petrol models are rated up to 1037kg.

The battery pack underneath means there’s also no room for a spare tyre, with a repair kit in its place. LDV Australia defends the big price tag by pointing out the eT60 gets a large battery.

It’s an unbranded system designed in-house by Tesla, but it’s a quality bit of audio kit. But anyone wanting to tow in a Tesla will have to sidestep the Model 3 (it’s not rated to tow in Australia) and instead opt for the more expensive Model Y (which can tow 1600kg). And a final word on sound systems. It’s a cool-looking car.

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.

It’s a ‘wow’ moment for the uninitiated, and one that we reckon would see most petrol-powered ‘Stangs left coughing in the dust. It goes like stink in a straight line, turns heads in traffic, feels purposeful from behind the ‘wheel, and, in the right mode, even sounds rather good. Move into a set of corners and the Mustang feels its weight.

Let’s start with Australia’s best-selling EV, the Tesla Model Y. As this e-2008 is an EV adapted to the platform of an ICE vehicle (the petrol 2008 SUV), packaging isn’t as smart as a dedicated EV platform’s. I contact Peugeot Australia to see what I’m doing wrong. Sometimes by lots. Nope again.

Effectively an SUV version of the Model 3 that is by far the top selling EV in Australia, the mid-sized Model Y has been eagerly awaited as electric car interest grows. As the Model 3 has done, the Model Y is also poised to tempt buyers from traditional petrol- and diesel-powered SUVs. The hardware for the tow kit is due in 2023.

While the MX-30 Electric’s now been discontinued, head to Mazda’s website and the petrol-powered MX-30 M Hybrid (which is the mildest hybrid known to man), quite comically, costs less than those ex-demo MX-30 Electrics. A petrol MX-30 Astina’s over $46,000 drive-away. Pretty generous.

It will appear in Europe next year as the Opel Ampera and in Australia as the Holden Volt in 2012. If you build a car as a "kit car" with no real factory, then yes, it will never be an economic success. South Korea did that and Australia is going to be doing that.
