America and Europe have more mature EV markets than us, meaning thousands of pre-loved electric cars have popped up on their used car classifieds. Late to the party on EV incentives and decent charging infrastructure, only in the past two years have EV sales really made a dent in the Australian market. Now we’re talking.

Last year, John Carey tested the EQE 350+ (Australia’s not getting this model from launch) and EQE53 4matic+ on some of Europe’s finest roads, but this was our first chance to sample the range on our own territory. Sling four good-sized adults in the latter and you’re asking it to move three-tonnes.

No Australian plans yet, with the company focusing on America first then Europe. Audi e-Tron GT – the BEV guts of the regular e-Tron (also shared with Porsche’s Taycan) in a coupe-inspired four-door body. BMW M cars – they’re coming with hybrid drivetrains. Audi RS e-Tron GT. Soon, apparently.

It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. Very cool and ideal to charge phones, your laptop, coffee machine, widescreen TV or even bar fridge. The Kia can handle 230kW charge speed, but I’ve no ultra rapid charger within 70km of my home, so 50kW it is.
