EV Evolution: Australian EV Trends, New Models & Charging Updates

Australia’s Cheapest EVs

For the better part of a decade, the Australian automotive landscape has been defined by a frustrating “EV tax”—an unwritten rule that if you wanted to ditch the pump, you’d have to cough up at least $50,000 for the privilege. But as we settle into 2026, that ceiling hasn’t just been lowered; it’s been absolutely […]

The 2026 State of the Nation – An EV Buyer’s Blueprint

If you’re reading this in early 2026, take a look out your window. Odds are, there’s an electric car huming past right now. It wasn’t that long ago—maybe three or four years—that seeing a non-Tesla EV in the wild felt like spotting a thylacine in the scrub. But as we kick off our 2026 Buyer’s […]

The Renter’s Roadmap: Is Your Suburb Actually EV-Ready?

There’s a shift happening on Australian roads, and it’s silent. Gone are the days when electric vehicles (EVs) were merely a niche novelty for the tech-obsessed or those with a six-figure home-automation budget. In 2026, the EV is the new standard of Aussie motoring—offering instant torque, reduced running costs, and a cleaner conscience. However, for […]

Luxury Without the Badge: The Rise of Premium Chinese EVs

For decades, the Australian “luxury car” hierarchy was as rigid as a rusted tow bar. If you wanted to show the neighbours you’d made it, you bought something with a three-pointed star, a blue-and-white propeller, or four interlocking rings. But as we settle into 2026, that old-world snobbery is being dismantled faster than a paddock […]

The 2027 Roadmap: The Cars We’re Saving Our Pennies For

It’s only the second week of January 2026, and if you’ve been paying attention to the Aussie car market, you’ll know we’ve finally hit the “tipping point.” The “early adopter” days are long gone—EVs are now a staple on our suburban streets. But as a seasoned automotive journalist, I’ll let you in on a little […]

The Second-Life Battery Economy: What Happens in 2030?

As we kick off 2026, the Australian electric vehicle market has finally found its stride. We’ve moved past the “early adopter” phase where seeing a Tesla on the M1 was a novelty; now, with EVs making up over 12% of new car sales, they’re as common as a meat pie at the footy. But as […]

Public Charging Etiquette: The 2026 “Unwritten Rules”

It’s 2026, and the Australian “servo” is undergoing a quiet, high-voltage transformation. If you pulled into a highway stop three years ago, you might have seen one lonely Tesla Supercharger and a lot of empty space. Today, you’re more likely to see a bustling hub of ultra-rapid DC units, a queue of BYD Shark 6 […]

The Insurance Gap: How to Lower Your EV Premium in 2026

If you’ve recently made the jump to an electric vehicle in Australia, you’ve likely experienced two very different types of “sticker shock.” The first is the thrill of never seeing a $120 fuel bill again. The second, unfortunately, is the moment you open your annual insurance renewal. As we move through 2026, the electric car […]

Mazda Unveils the All-New, All-Electric Mazda CX-6e in Australia: The Model Y Fighter We’ve Been Waiting For?

For the better part of a decade, Mazda fans in Australia have been playing a bit of a waiting game. While the Japanese brand has consistently delivered some of the best-selling petrol SUVs in the country—the CX-5 being a perennial favourite—its journey into the electric era felt more like a tentative toe-dip than a full-blown […]

2025 BYD Atto 1 Premium Review: Australia’s cheapest EV is also a decent city car with clever design and real driving character.

For years, the conversation around electric vehicles in Australia has been stuck on a single, frustrating loop: “They’re too expensive.” While the early adopters were happy to drop six figures on a Tesla or a Taycan, the average Aussie family—the ones currently nursing a ten-year-old Corolla or a thirsty Kia Picanto—has been left waiting at […]
