electric ute australia 2023

Short version: in 2023 Australia had exactly one electric ute you could actually buy—the LDV eT60.

It offers about 330 km WLTP range, DC fast-charging to 80% in roughly 45 minutes, and a modest 1,000 kg braked towing limit—so bring the jet ski, not the caravan. New pricing hovered around AUD 93k drive-away (ABN buyers often saw sharper numbers), while used examples were rare and still pricey thanks to thin supply. Everyone else—Rivian, Tesla’s Cybertruck, various mainstream brands—were in the “coming soon, promise” camp. If you needed an electron-sipping dual-cab right then, the eT60 was it; if you needed big towing, you were better off waiting.
