Tesla has quietly expanded its Model 3 line-up in Australia with a new Long Range rear‑wheel‑drive (RWD) variant for the 2026 model year, offering an advertised single‑charge range of up to 750 kilometres. If delivered to market as stated, this would make it the longest‑range battery electric passenger car available in Australia today and a […]
Australia’s shift to electric vehicles (EVs) has moved from niche curiosity to mainstream momentum. Sales have accelerated year‑on‑year, manufacturers are increasingly prioritising the Australian market, and the charging network is expanding. Yet for many prospective buyers the decision remains complicated. Beyond the headline environmental benefits sit practical questions about cost, range, charging, model suitability and […]
Australia’s electric vehicle market is shedding its boutique image. Once the preserve of premium imports and early adopters, EVs are now accelerating into mainstream consideration – driven by tightening global supply, improving local infrastructure and a wave of competitively priced models from China. The recent regulatory approval for Chery’s Jaecoo J5 EV underlines that shift: […]
BYD’s strategy of pushing affordable electric vehicles (EVs) into right‑hand‑drive markets has taken another step forward with the export of its recently launched Qin L EV – rebadged for Malaysia as the Seal 6. Introduced in China earlier this year at a very aggressive price point (the Qin L’s Chinese starting price was the rough […]
As Australia’s electric vehicle market continues to accelerate, October 2025 looks set to be a landmark month for new model arrivals and industry activity. Several volume-focused EVs are scheduled to reach Australian showrooms, and the Sydney International EV Motor Show returns to ICC Sydney in October, underscoring sustained consumer and industry interest. Below is a […]
KG Mobility (formerly SsangYong) has begun to sharpen the contours of Australia’s next wave of electric utes with the Musso EV, an all‑electric version of its established Musso pick‑up. I drove a pre‑production dual‑motor example in the UK and assessed how the electric Musso might land here in Australia: its strengths, its compromises and what […]
A camouflaged Mazda 6e – Mazda’s first electric liftback – has been sighted on Sydney roads in right-hand drive (RHD) form, reinforcing expectations that the model will arrive in Australia in the near future. The vehicle, photographed negotiating a suburban roundabout, follows a previous sighting in Melbourne and suggests Mazda is carrying out final development […]
Leapmotor has confirmed Australian pricing and specifications for its second local model, the B10 electric SUV, which will join the brand’s C10 in what is shaping up to be a price‑competitive assault on the mid‑sized EV market. The B10 arrives in November in two variants with compelling driveaway pricing that positions it as Australia’s cheapest […]
A 12-month trial in Exmouth has demonstrated that electric vehicles can be used as flexible grid assets to help manage peaks and troughs in electricity demand. Conducted by state-owned Horizon Power, the trial tested a bi-directional charging management system that used parked EV batteries to both absorb excess generation and supply power back to the […]
Carmakers and energy companies across Australia are accelerating work on bidirectional charging – the capability for electric vehicles (EVs) to not only draw power from the grid but also feed electricity back into it, into a home, or to other devices. Often described as “batteries on wheels,” this technology promises to support grid stability, unlock […]
