Mini

Mini Aceman

Mini has expanded their EV lineup with three different fully electric models now available. Size wise, the Mini Aceman fits in between the smaller Mini Cooper and larger Mini Countryman. Three variants are currently available, each with a single trim level.

Mini announced they will stop selling the base Aceman E variant in Australia after Q1 2025, currently offering special driveaway prices to clear remaining stock before then.

Mini Cooper

The Mini Cooper electric offers classic Mini Cooper handling and style in a small package. Refreshed 2025 models are based on a new EV platform jointly developed with GWM, which enables larger battery packs and more range than the previous Mini Cooper SE model. They also feature refreshed styling inside and out as pictured above.

Similar to the Aceman, Mini will no longer sell the base Cooper E variant in Australia after Q1 2025, currently offering special driveaway prices to clear any remaining stock.

Mini Countryman

The largest and most spacious of the Mini lineup is the Countryman. All Mini Countryman variants are fitted with a 64 kWh battery pack, enabling longer WLTP driving range compared to other models. Mini Countryman E variants are front-wheel drive whereas the SE ALL4 variants are all-wheel drive, sacrificing some driving range for improved performance.

Nissan

Nissan Leaf

The original Nissan Leaf was one of the first electric vehicles on the Australian market, first launching here all the way back in 2012. Several iterations have been made over the years to improve driving range and practicality. The most recent addition is the Leaf e+ which features a larger 62 kWh battery pack and is one of the only vehicles currently available that supports vehicle-to-grid, meaning this car can power your home with the right charging station installed.

If you are looking at purchasing a second-hand Nissan Leaf, be aware that Leaf battery packs do not have any active cooling and have been known to suffer from increased degradation and can overheat when DC fast charged back to back. Nissan Leaf is also fitted with the obsolete CHAdeMO DC fast charging plug which is less commonly fitted to public charging stations.

In January 2025, Nissan dropped the price of the Leaf further to clear remaining stock as it has ceased production to focus on a new generation Leaf that may be revealed during 2025.

Polestar

Polestar 2

The Polestar 2 fastback is Polestar’s first vehicle for the Australian market and it comes in four different variants. 2024 model year updates improved driving range and efficiency as well as swapping the standard and long range single motor variants from front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive. Driving dynamics have been improved across the range with dual motor variants now being rear-biased compared to the previous 50:50 distribution of power.

Polestar made more changes with 2025 model year vehicles, mainly in terms of pricing and packaging. For example, the previously optional Pilot Pack is now standard and starting prices are $5,000 cheaper than previous non-discounted prices for all variants.

Polestar 3

A more affordable standard range single motor variant may arrive at a later stage.

The 2025 Volvo EX40, formerly the XC40 Recharge, has received several updates over previous models including different interior upholstery, upgraded sound system and 360-degree camera. The price of the base rear-wheel drive EX40 remains the same but it now includes a larger battery for 85 km more range. Two dual-motor variants are available, although the Black Edition simply adds an entirely black interior and exterior.

XPeng

XPeng G6

Chinese EV maker XPeng has entered the Australian market with their mid-size G6 SUV. XPeng vehicles are imported and sold through local distributor TrueEV, similar to the arrangement between BYD and EVDirect. Initially the XPeng G6 is available as rear-wheel drive only, with the choice of either a standard or long range battery pack. A quicker all-wheel drive performance variant is due to arrive sometime in 2025.

Zeekr

Zeekr 009

The Zeekr 009 luxury electric people mover is now available in Australia. Built upon the same Zeekr derived Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform used in the Volvo EX30 and Polestar 4, the Zeekr 009 is fitted with a luxurious interior including features such as massaging seats fashioned from nappa leather, rear entertainment screen and a 30-speaker Yamaha sound system.

Zeekr X

Geely owned Zeekr launched in Australia with the Zeekr X small SUV. The Zeekr X shares the same Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform as the Volvo EX30, Polestar 4, Smart #1 / #3 and larger 009 people mover. The dual-motor Zeekr X also has the same 3.8 second 0-100 km/h time as a dual-motor Polestar 4, but is slower than the smaller and lighter Volvo EX30.

Australian specifications include a single motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive variants, sharing the same 66 kWh battery pack. Zeekr X starting prices are just below comparable variants of the Volvo EX30 but above the Smart #1.

Vehicles Coming Soon

In this section we list some of the vehicles that are coming to the Australian market in the next year. Vehicles listed here have been confirmed by the manufacturer with an estimated arrival date. Speculative vehicles or those due to arrive more than a year away will not appear here until firmer news of their arrival has been confirmed.

Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo Junior

Stellantis owned Italian automaker Alfa Romeo will be launching their first EV in Australia during 2025. The Alfa Romeo Junior shares some similarities with the Jeep Avenger, such as the underlying e-CMP2 platform and 54 kWh battery pack. The Junior is a sub-compact SUV measuring just over 4.1 m long and nearly 2 m wide.

Audi

Audi A6 e-tron

Audi will be launching the A6 e-tron in Australia during the first half of 2025. The A6 e-tron is based on the same Premium Platform Electric (PPE) as the Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan EV. Several variants are expected for the A6 e-tron, including four different drivetrains as well as hatch and wagon body styles which Audi refers to as Sportback and Avant respectively. Australian prices and driving range are yet to be confirmed at this stage.

Cupra

Cupra Tavascan

Cupra will be launching their second EV in Australia at the start of 2025, the medium sized Tavascan SUV based on the VW ID.5. Battery size and driving range have been confirmed already, with Australian prices expected to begin below $70,000 for the Endurance and under $80,000 for the VZ.

Ford

Ford E-Transit Custom

Ford has confirmed their smaller light commercial E-Transit Custom van will be arriving in early 2025, joining the larger E-Transit van. Battery size and WLTP driving range specifications in the table below are based on overseas figures and will be confirmed closer to the E-Transit Custom’s arrival, along with Australian pricing.

Ford E-Transit Custom	$TBA	380 km	74 kWh

GAC

GAC Aion UT

Chinese EV manufacturer GAC is planning to bring the Aion V below to Australia during the middle of 2025, followed by the small Aion UT hatchback later in the year. The UT will be similar in size to an MG4 or BYD Dolphin and is expected to utilise an LFP chemistry battery pack. Overseas price estimates position the Aion UT close to the BYD Dolphin, so once launched this could be a contender for the cheapest new EV title.

GAC Aion V

Chinese EV manufacturer Guangzhou Automobile Group Co, known as GAC, surprised many by showing off their Aion V SUV during an Australian EV expo recently. GAC is planning to bring the Aion V to the market during the middle of 2025. Several variants are available overseas with battery packs ranging in size from 62 – 90 kWh, although details of what will be available here are currently unknown.

Geely

Geely EX5

Chinese car giant Geely, owners of Polestar, Volvo, Lotus and Zeekr, has confirmed plans to launch their first vehicle in Australia, a Tesla Model Y mid-size SUV competitor called the EX5. Variant details have now been revealed, and although pricing has not been announced it is expected to start from under $50,000 for the base variant.

Geely is currently offering 3 years of included servicing and a 12 month subscription for Evie charging for pre-orders placed before February 28, 2025. First deliveries are expected before the end of April.

Geely Riddara RD6

Geely has confirmed plans to export their electric ute to the Australian market since starting production of right-hand drive versions. Known as the Radar RD6 in the local Chinese market, the electric ute has been renamed to Riddara for export markets. The Riddara is based around a car platform, so its payload and towing capacity is less than some of the popular Australian ICE utes, although this is offset by improved ride and handling.

Hyundai

Hyundai Inster

Hyundai has revealed specifications for their smallest and most affordable EV called Inster, with Australian prices anticipated to start from around $40,000. The Inster is surprisingly roomy inside for a car measuring only 3.8 m long, with the ability to fold all seats completely flat. Both variants are front-wheel drive and utilise NCM battery packs. Arrival timing has not been confirmed by Hyundai yet, but the Inster is expected here in early 2025.

Hyundai Ioniq 9

Hyundai’s Ioniq range of electric vehicles will grow to include the range topping three row SUV called the Ioniq 9, based on the Hyundai Seven concept. Ioniq 9 launched globally in November 2024 and is due to enter production in early 2025. Three variants have been revealed, all utilising the same 110 kWh battery which provides longer range than Kia’s EV9 sibling.

Kia

Kia EV3

Kia’s entry level EV3 is due to arrive in Australia during the first half of 2025, with a starting price expected below $50,000 for the base Air variant. The EV3 includes many of the features found on Kia’s larger SUVs such as V2L and a spacious, comfortable interior, although packaged into a more compact 4.3 m long vehicle. Similar to the EV5, the EV3 is built on a 400 V platfom to help reduce costs.

Three EV3 variants are expected initially with similar trim levels to Kia’s existing EVs, likely followed by a top-spec dual-motor EV3 GT at a later stage.

LDV

LDV eTerron 9

LDV brought the first fully electric ute to the Australian market with their LDV eT60, although it is expensive and has not sold well at all. LDV are promising the new eTerron 9 ute will be completely different inside and out, and expect it will do much better than the eT60. Pricing and specifications have not been revealed yet, but government regulation documents show a rear-wheel drive 200 kW version and an all-wheel drive 325 kW version. The LDV website says the eTerron 9 will be arriving early 2025.

Leapmotor

Leapmotor B10

Chinese automaker Leapmotor will be adding more affordable electric options to the Australian market for buyers willing to try new brands. The Leapmotor B10 SUV is smaller than the Leapmotor C10, around the size of a BYD Atto 3 rather than Tesla Model Y. No further details are known at this stage, although prices close to or under $40,000 are expected given the larger C10 starts from around $45,000.

Leapmotor T03

Leapmotor will also offer a budget city car in the form of the T03 hatchback. Details for the Australian market are currently unknown although the T03 is expected to undercut existing contenders for Australia’s cheapest electric vehicle by a fair margin. In its home market in China the T03 is significantly cheaper than our most affordable EVs such as the GWM Ora and BYD Dolphin.

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology

Mercedes-Benz will release an electric version of their iconic G-Class SUV in 2025, powered by 4 electric motors providing over 400 kW of power and 1100 Nm of torque for extreme off-road capability. The long-winded name, as opposed to EQG which would match the rest of Mercedes-Benz EV lineup, signals a move away from the EQ naming scheme for future Mercedes-Benz EVs.

MG

MG ES5

The MG ES5 is a successor to the ageing ZS EV, and it will be arriving during the middle of 2025. Unlike the outgoing ZS EV, the ES5 is based on a dedicated MSP electric architecture shared with the MG4 and Cyberster. Details of Australian variants have not yet been released, but at least two rear-wheel drive versions with different sized LFP battery packs are expected.

Nissan

Nissan Ariya

The production version of the Nissan Ariya SUV was first revealed all the way back in 2020. After multiple delays it is finally expected to arrive in Australia during the middle of 2025, possibly too late to join the outgoing Leaf in Nissan’s EV lineup. Two battery sizes are available overseas, although Australian specifications are still unknown at this stage.

Peugeot

Peugeot e-208

Similar to the electric Peugeot e-2008 small SUV, the e-208 is based on the internal combustion powered 208. Battery size and WLTP driving range below are from overseas specifications, as local specifications or pricing have not been announced yet.

Peugeot previously said the e-208 hatchback would be arriving in Australia during 2024, although this vehicle has since disappeared from the local Peugeot website, so it is unclear if or when the e-208 will arrive.

Peugeot e-208	$TBA	382 km	50 kWh

Peugeot e-3008

Peugeot was also supposed to launch their e-3008 mid-size electric SUV in Australia during 2024, although it has also disappeared from the local Peugeot website like the e-208 above.

Battery size and WLTP driving range below are taken from Peugeot’s global announcements, with local pricing and final specifications to be confirmed if and when it comes to Australia. Standard range variants are available as front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while the long range variant comes in front-wheel drive only.

Renault

Renault Master E-Tech

The Renault Master E-Tech is the largest of Renault’s light commercial van range and is expected to launch in Australia during late 2025. Overseas versions come equipped with a 52 kWh battery pack offering up to 200 km WLTP driving range. Several variants are sold overseas including short and long wheelbases, low and high roof as well as cab-chassis. Details of Australian specifications and variants will be added once they are known.

Renault Trafic E-Tech

The Renault Trafic E-Tech light commecial van slots in between the smaller Kangoo E-Tech and larger Master E-Tech vans. Fitted with the same 52 kWh battery as the Master E-Tech, the Trafic E-Tech is more efficient and covers up to 297 km on a full charge. Renault is planning to launch the Trafic E-Tech in Australia in early 2025.

Skoda

Skoda Elroq

Skoda will be introducing a second EV in Australia during the middle of 2025, the Skoda Elroq small SUV. Like the larger Enyaq, Elroq is also based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. Three variants have been announced globally, all of them rear-wheel drive with varying battery capacities and WLTP driving ranges. Further details of which ones are made available in Australia will be revealed closer to the launch.

Skywell

Skywell EVA 5

Skywell already sells their EC11 light commercial van in Australia through local distributor EV Automotive. The mid-size EVA 5 SUV is expected in Australia during early 2025 with a rumoured price of around $50,000. At least two different battery pack sizes are expected, with front-wheel drive being the only drivetrain available. The EVA 5 is known as the ET5 in overseas markets, hence the badge on the overseas vehicle picture above.

Smart

Smart #5

The Smart #5 was revealed alongside the Smart #1 and #3, which are now available to order. The #5 is the largest Smart SUV with a more rugged look, designed for adventures. To help with adventures, the Smart #5 is powered by a much larger 100 kWh battery pack. Range and pricing will be revealed closer to an expected launch during late 2025.

SsangYong

SsangYong Torres EVX

Korean marque SsangYong was originally supposed to launch their Torres EVX mid-size SUV in Australia towards the end of 2024, although it has been pushed into 2025. The EVX is fitted with a single front-wheel drive motor and LFP battery pack from BYD offering up to 462 km WLTP driving range. Note that SsangYong rebranded itself to KG Mobility or KGM, so this vehicle is known in some overseas markets as the KGM Torres EVX.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen ID.3

Volkswagen will be expanding their fully electric ID range in Australia this year, with the smaller ID.3 expected sometime during 2025. Timing, details and pricing of Australian variants are yet to be confirmed.

Overseas ID.3 models are offered with three battery choices of 55 kWh, 62 kWh or 82 kWh (gross). A slightly larger 84 kWh battery has been announced for the sporty ID.3 GTX variant. Australian prices are expected to start below $60,000 for the entry level ID.3 Pure.

Volkswagen ID.3 Pro	$TBA	420 km	62 kWh
Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S	$TBA	550 km	82 kWh
Volkswagen ID.3 GTX	$TBA	600 km	84 kWh

Volkswagen ID.4

Volkswagen will finally launch their fully electric ID SUVs in Australia in March 2025, with the mid-size ID.4 SUV and ID.5 Coupé SUV siblings. One good thing about delaying their launch in Australia is that we will receive updated specifications with more power, torque and increased range from more efficient motors. Volkswagen has also updated the interior and infotainment systems to address concerns about usability with the previous generation models. The ID.4 will be available in either the rear-wheel drive Pro variant or an all-wheel drive GTX with 250 kW total power.

Volkswagen ID.5

As above, Volkswagen will finally launch the mid-size ID.4 SUV and ID.5 Coupé SUV siblings in March 2025. Just like the ID.4, the ID.5 receives the same updated electric motors providing more power, torque and improved efficiency for more range. The ID.5 will also be available in either the rear-wheel drive Pro variant or the 250 kW all-wheel drive GTX. WLTP driving range is marginally higher in the ID.5 compared to the ID.4 due to the more aerodynamic rear end of the vehicle.

Volvo

Volvo EX90

The Volvo EX90 SUV is the all-electric successor to Volvo’s XC90 SUV, and is available with 3 rows and 7 seats. EX90 is built on the same SPA2 electric vehicle architecture as the closely related Polestar 3, utilising the same 111 kWh battery pack and dual-motor drivetrain to deliver up to 380 kW / 910 Nm in the Performance variant.

Final specifications and pricing for the Australian Volvo EX90 have now been revealed, it is expected to arrive here in early 2025.

Zeekr

Zeekr 7X

Zeekr will be expanding their lineup in 2025 with the Zeekr 7X mid-size SUV, sitting above the Zeekr X small SUV. The Zeekr 7X will come in at least two variants, one with a 75 kWh LFP battery or a larger 100 kWh NMC pack. It features similar rounded styling to the Zeekr 007 sedan, which has not yet been confirmed for Australia.

Second Hand Vehicles

Vehicles listed in this section are no longer on sale as new vehicles in Australia, but can still be found on the second hand market. Starting prices listed in this section are the last known manufacturers suggested retail price for the car when it was still available new. Battery and range specifications listed are also for the most recent versions of the car and may not include all known previous specifications.

Audi

Audi e-tron

The e-tron was Audi’s first fully electric model and the original e-tron 50 and 55 quattro variants were on sale in Australia between 2020 and 2022. The Audi e-tron is still available new via the more powerful e-tron S variants described above.

Variant	Starting Price	Driving Range	Battery Size
Audi e-tron 50 quattro	$139,900	328 km	71 kWh
Audi e-tron 50 quattro Sportback	$150,900	328 km	71 kWh
Audi e-tron 55 quattro	$148,900	417 km	95 kWh
Audi e-tron 55 quattro Sportback	$159,900	417 km	95 kWh

Blade

Blade Electron

The Blade Electron has been consigned to the history books but appears here because it was actually the first commercially available fully electric vehicle in Australia, going on sale way back in 2008. Ross Blade is the pioneer behind this vehicle, and he built 50 Blades by swapping out the petrol engine and fuel tank of a Hyundai Getz with a 40 kW electric motor and 16 kWh battery pack. The result was a fully electric car that could travel up to 100 km and had a top speed of 120 km/h. Given only 50 were made, it would be very rare to see one on the road and even rarer to see one for sale.

Variant	Starting Price	Driving Range	Battery Size
Blade Electron	$48,000	100 km	16 kWh

BMW

BMW i3

The quirky BMW i3 and sports variant i3s were on sale in Australia between 2014 and 2021. The BMW i3 city car had some unique features such as its carbon-fibre construction and a range-extender (REx) version, which utilises a small 650 cc BMW motorbike engine as a generator to charge the battery while you’re driving for an additional 100 km range. Older BMW i3 models were available with 22 kWh or 33 kWh battery packs depending on when they were manufactured.

Hyundai

Hyundai Ioniq Electric

The original Hyundai Ioniq was available in fully electric as well as mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. When launched it was the first all-electric vehicle in Australia under $50,000 and came with a 28 kWh usable battery offering up to 230 km WLTP driving range. 2020 models were upgraded with a 38 kWh battery which increased WLTP driving range to 274 km. The Hyundai Ioniq remains one of the most efficient electric vehicles due to its 1475 kg kerb weight being relatively light among EVs.

Variant	Starting Price	Driving Range	Battery Size
Hyundai Ioniq Electric Elite	$48,490	274 km	38 kWh
Hyundai Ioniq Electric Premium	$51,900	274 km	38 kWh

Mazda

Mazda MX-30

Mazda offered the MX-30 in a single fully electric E35 Astina variant with only 200 km driving range from it’s small battery pack. The fully electric version cost nearly twice as much as the mild-hybrid MX-30 G20e so it wasn’t a big hit with customers. Mazda stopped selling the MX-30 electric in Australia after Q1 of 2024 to make way for a future range of electrified models.

Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi i-MiEV

The tiny Mitsubishi i-MiEV was first released in Australia in 2010 and was discontinued in 2014 after proving unpopular here. Only around 250 vehicles were sold during this time, but it is now one of the cheapest fully electric cars available second hand. The i-MiEV features a rear-wheel drive power train coupled with a 16 kWh battery for up to 150 km NEDC or 100 – 120 km real world driving range when new. Second hand examples will have less range, although some EV repairers are able to fit replacement battery packs with 30 kWh capacity and 200 – 240 km driving range.

Nissan

Nissan Leaf

The Nissan Leaf is still available new with much better driving range and more stylish looks compared to the original version which launched in Australia back in 2012. The first generation ZE0 Nissan Leaf deserves a special mention in this section as they are readily available on the second hand market with some listed between $10,000 – $15,000. 2012 Leaf models first launched here with 24 kWh batteries, which grew to 30 kWh by 2017 when the first generation ended. Early Nissan Leaf batteries suffered from higher levels of degradation, so the driving range of older vehicles could be significantly less than when they were new.

Nissan Australia stopped selling the Leaf through dealerships after the 2011-2012 model didn’t sell well, so later model years are either private imports or offered through specialist bulk-buy schemes such as The Good Car Company. If considering a Leaf built between 2013 and 2017, make sure to investigate the battery health as well as warranty and repair situation before purchasing.

Renault

Renault Kangoo ZE

Renault’s Kangoo ZE small van was aimed at the local business and delivery sector, with 4 cubic metres of loading space in the back, 650 kg payload and a 200 km WLTP driving range. It was superseded by the all-new Kangoo E-Tech with up to 300 km driving range.

Renault Kangoo ZE	$55,295	200 km	33 kWh

Renault Zoe

Renault sold the Zoe electric hatch in Australia between 2017 and 2020, before pulling it from the market citing lower than expected demand. At the time the Zoe was one of the cheapest fully electric vehicles on sale here with a starting price below $50,000. If you’re looking at purchasing a second hand Renault Zoe, be aware that the variants sold here only support AC charging up to 22 kW with a three-phase charger. DC fast charging is not supported so this car would be most suited for shorter trips below the driving range.

Tesla

Tesla Model S

Tesla delivered the first flagship Model S sedans in Australia at the end of 2014 and their last six years later in 2020. Since then, Tesla decided to stop making the Model S in right-hand drive so Australia missed out on updated versions with upgraded interiors and the flagship Plaid variant. Between 2014 and 2020 there were many different variants on sale including single motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive.

Earlier model years included the drivetrain and battery size in their name, for example P90D is a Performance dual-motor model with 90 kWh battery pack. The most recent versions were simply named Long Range or Performance, similar to how Tesla names the Model 3 and Model Y. Model S Performance variants features Ludicrous mode which can accelerate the vehicle from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds.

Variant	Starting Price	Driving Range	Battery Size
Tesla Model S Long Range	$117,920	652 km	100 kWh
Tesla Model S Performance	$155,430	639 km	100 kWh

Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X large SUV launched in Australia during 2016 and the last examples were delivered at the end of 2020. Just like the Model S, right-hand drive Model X production ceased so the updated Model X Plaid is not available in Australia. Similar to the Model S, several different variants of the Model X were on sale and the naming scheme is the same with recent model years either being Long Range or Performance.

Model X is available with different interior seating options including 5-seat, 6-seat or 7-seat configurations. The Model X Performance also features Ludicrous mode with 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.8 seconds, slightly slower than the Model S Performance.

Tesla Model X Long Range	$148,390	561 km	100 kWh
Tesla Model X Performance	$191,730	548 km	100 kWh

Tesla Roadster

The original or first generation Tesla Roadster was briefly on sale in Australia between 2011 and 2012, with estimates of fewer than 30 sold here in total. The Roadster is based on the Lotus Elise chassis and was a huge leap in performance for electric vehicles at the time, offering 0-100 km/h acceleration just under 4 seconds, a top speed of 212 km/h and range of over 300 km.

Tesla Roadsters sold in Australia were version 2.5, meaning they are more reliable than earlier Roadsters and include upgrades such as new seats and improved power electronics. Two variants were available in Australia, a base Roadster and a slightly quicker Roadster Sport featuring a more powerful electric motor and adjustable dampers.
