how much for electric car

In Australia, new EVs start around $35k–$45k AUD (think MG4, BYD Dolphin, GWM Ora), mainstream family models land roughly $55k–$80k (Model Y, Ioniq 5, EV6), and premium stuff rockets past $90k into six figures.

Used buys span about $15k–$30k for early Nissan Leafs and similar city EVs, up to $30k–$55k for later-gen hatches and SUVs with better range.

Budget another $1k–$2k for a home wallbox, then enjoy low servicing and cheap off-peak kWh—your servo visits become coffee stops.

State incentives and tax perks change often, so check the latest before you sign; the right deal can trim thousands.
