electric car in australia 2023

Australia’s electric-car scene in 2023 finally woke up and smelled the electrons. Big hitters were Tesla Model Y/3, with sharp-value contenders like BYD Atto 3 and MG ZS EV, plus slick offerings like Hyundai Ioniq 5/6 and Kia EV6. New prices ranged roughly from AUD 40–50k for entry models to AUD 100k+ for the fancy stuff; used examples typically sat between the high-$20ks and $80k depending on age and badge. Expect 300–500 km real-world range, home AC charging overnight, and DC fast-charging that can add a big chunk in about 30 minutes on the quicker cars. Incentives and rego perks varied by state, so check your postcode before doing victory laps past the servo.
