best ev cars 2022

For 2022 in Australia, the standouts were Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Polestar 2, BYD Atto 3 and the updated MG ZS EV—each brilliant in its own way, like a school athletics carnival with fewer orange slices.

Model 3 nails range and charging pace; Ioniq 5 brings lounge-like comfort; EV6 feels the sportiest; Polestar 2 is coolly Scandinavian; Atto 3 and ZS EV serve sharp value. Approx WLTP ranges: Model 3 491–602 km, EV6 484–528 km, Ioniq 5 430–480 km, Polestar 2 440–540 km, Atto 3 320–420 km, ZS EV ~320 km. Charging networks grew fast in 2022, but home AC remains king; frequent road-trippers should favour faster DC peaks (Tesla and Hyundai/Kia rate well). Choose based on priorities: value (BYD/MG), long range and Supercharger access (Tesla), plush ride and retro-futurist styling (Ioniq 5), or tidy dynamics and warranty (EV6) with Polestar 2 as the minimalist all-rounder. Figures vary by trim and updates; consult official documentation for exact figures.
