cheapest electric car australia 2022 Page 8703

In 2022, the cheapest electric car in Australia was a photo finish between the MG ZS EV and the BYD Atto 3. The MG ZS EV typically landed around $44k–$49k drive-away depending on trim and state charges, while the BYD Atto 3 Standard Range launched at about $44k before on-roads (usually mid-to-high $40k drive-away). The Nissan Leaf hovered a touch higher in the low-to-mid $50k bracket, if you fancied the establishment choice. On the used market, early ZS EVs and Leafs were commonly found around $25k–$40k, with 2021–22 examples more like $30k–$45k. State rebates and stamp-duty shenanigans could nudge those figures either way—Australia loves a rules salad.
