electric cars pricing

Electric car pricing in Australia spans a wide paddock, so here’s the no-nonsense rundown.

New EVs start around AUD 35k–45k for entry models, run ~AUD 55k–90k for mainstream sedans/SUVs, and climb to AUD 120k–300k+ for the fancy stuff. Used examples range roughly AUD 10k–60k depending on age, battery health, and kilometres—think early Leafs/Ioniqs down low and 2019–2022 Model 3s and family SUVs mid-pack. On-road costs and incentives differ by state, and novated-lease FBT concessions can tilt the maths nicely.

Home charging is cheap; DC fast charging costs more but usually still under petrol—unless you drive like your hair’s on fire. Prices are wobbling as competition heats up, which is great for buyers and mildly upsetting for resale; keep an eye on Tradingpost for sharp used deals.
