There are also some big brands that have so far not dabbled in the EV space in Australia readying their first battery electric models. It won’t be cheap, but Audi’s e-Tron GT and its more potent RS e-Tron GT sibling promise big performance. Like the larger iX3, it shares a body and architecture with the petrol-powered models.

Much has been achieved through fakery – ‘petrol’ engine note and gear shifts included – but there’s been no reason to hide this. It’s a huge challenge to create a performance EV to tug at the heart strings of enthusiast drivers, but through incredible tech and engineering Hyundai’s cracked it.

4, the Q4 e-Tron will be available in a regular SUV body style or a sleeker Sportback, each with a 77kWh battery. Sharing its basic layout and compact SUV body with the petrol-powered models that hit the market in 2023, the Chery Omoda 5 EV gets a unique front-end design that appears to improve aerodynamics.

Whereas the original Niro was available as a regular hybrid , a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery electric vehicle (EV), the new model does without the PHEV option. So instead it’s hybrid and EV tech for Kia’s new entry-level electrified SUV. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. Kia Niro EV GT-Line.

It’s big, boxy and stuffed full of tech, and — in its flagship GT-Line grade — is faster than most petrol-powered hot hatches. It gets the same battery and powertrain as the GT-Line, but delivers slower acceleration because it misses out on the flagship’s “Acceleration Boost” function. seconds and a range of 520km. inch and 14.9-inch

Unlike the recently launched Genesis GV60 – which is built on a bespoke EV architecture – the GV70 Electrified takes the familiar underpinnings of a GV70 running on petrol or diesel and adapts them to EV life. Batteries reduce the boot capacity slightly, but the GV70 Electrified is still a practical machine.

Okay, 97 per cent battery life and 387km range. I bet the brakes would take a pasting, and those 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4s aren’t going to be cheap to replace after a few track sessions. You feel you’re in a special and exceptionally high-tech offering. Theatrical inside too. Looks expensive. Adjust seats.

inch infotainment screen with fingerprint scanner for personalised driver profiles is superb, and tech goodness comes with augmented reality navigation, Burmester 3D surround sound system, 360-degree camera and disco-like ambient lighting. The high voltage battery gets a separate and class-leading ten-year, 250,000km warranty.

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.

Even when there is an expressed interest in purchasing a battery electric or hybrid vehicle, it often did not turn into an actual purchase. Similarly, 22 percent expressed interest in a battery electric vehicle (BEV), but only 5 percent bought one. EVs ain’t cheap Price is another EV purchase risk that is comparable to EV range.

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. We will own the battery. We will always own the batteries,&# said Mr. Thesen.

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.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Anyway, the GT-Line has dual motors, all-wheel-drive, 283kW/700Nm and 505km range (WLTP) from its lardy 99.8kWh battery. The sooner this tech gets sidelined the better. For you NSW lot, it’s $140,200.
