Here are the used EVs you can buy in Australia for under $50,000. Dedicated city cars with cheap-feeling cabins, but rarer than a Pagani Zonda on our shores. Official electric range of 320km is wildly optimistic and it’s a pretty joyless steer, but here’s a small SUV with warranty to tempt you into EV life.

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.

Ride and handling.

Striking thing, this electric SUV-cum-wagon. If you want to keep the tyre mobility kit and power cable bags in the boot, this also eats into space. 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. No frunk on offer, either.

I think you should buy a Mazda MX-30 Electric … and I’ve not even been drinking. You know, the small SUV we panned at its July 2021 launch for its “poor value proposition” Our review , in short, suggested you’d be almost out of your mind to buy one. Ergo, very few sold.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. It’s an unbranded system designed in-house by Tesla, but it’s a quality bit of audio kit. Buy a beefier wallbox charger and those charge times drop to about 5.5 Against mid-sized SUVs from Hyundai and Kia the Model Y makes more sense.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Spoiler alert: I came away thinking the Air the better buy, simply because you get the majority of the EV9’s clout and goodness, plus an extra $33k in your pocket. They made his wife sick, and he hated them.
