We will get to how it all works in a moment, but the short version is that, while you still get a petrol engine with your electric motors, the former is only used to recharge the battery or deliver power to the motors — it never actually drives the wheels — giving you what Nissan calls an “EV-like” drive experience, and improved fuel efficiency.

Even if you’re not taken by its looks, the Ioniq 6’s range makes headlines.

LDV has announced the prices of its trio of new electric models – and they’re not cheap. . 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.

But of course there’s more than just a torque sensor that makes the Propella 9S Pro so nice – even if that one single component is a great value-added piece of kit that we rarely see at this price. One downside of the bike though is that its 36V battery simply isn’t very big, measuring just 350 Wh. What’s the takeaway?

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. While details are yet to be announced, it looks as though there will be three core models to the EV9 range when it goes on sale in Q4 2023. That includes a 12.3-inch

Straight up, at $127,800, the GV70 Electrified does not sound cheap, but it is packed with gear and doesn’t charge you umpteen thousands in optional extras. Batteries reduce the boot capacity slightly, but the GV70 Electrified is still a practical machine. The GV70 has two motors, one on each axle, and a 77.4kWh battery pack.

It isn’t cheap, though – check the Toyota website to see the costs for your own circumstances. Both use a 71.4kWh lithium-ion battery pack, but there are slight differences in claimed EV driving range, with the FWD good for a WLTP-rated 436km versus 411km for the AWD. Choose FWD, and the 0-100km/h time is 7.5

Okay, 97 per cent battery life and 387km range. There’s something far more reassuring when getting in the $72,590 Kia EV6 Air and seeing 528km range remaining. If you want to keep the tyre mobility kit and power cable bags in the boot, this also eats into space. Importantly, I’m back to 100% charge and 376km range.

We, and every other car reviewer with a basic grasp of the market, knew this fee for a small EV with paltry 200km (WLTP) range was laughable. Not least because, crap electric range aside, the MX-30 came only in range-topping, high-spec Astina grade. Mazda MX-30 Electric – lumbered with a 200km WLTP range.

April 10, 2009 10:09 am Link It amazes me that in the vast debate about electric cars world wide including here in Norway, no one ever mention the fact that the batteries in such cars need replacement in no more than five years. So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015.

This range-topping Kia EV9 GT-Line’s RRP is $121,000, then adds quite ridiculous $18,000 (in Queensland) on-road charges, pushing the bill to $139,000 drive-away. A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. The Earth, meanwhile, trumps all with 512km range.
