Electric vehicles: What you can buy in Australia, and at what price

Published by

With an evolving and ever-increasing list of electric vehicles (EVs) available overseas, Australians can feel confident that some time very very soon,  a selection of them will arrive on our shores too.

Below is a list of (hopefully) all the BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) and PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles) currently available (November, 2018) in Australia. And those that soon will be.

It is a much smaller list than what is available in overseas markets, but it is also not insignificant, and there are more models just over the horizon from both the listed manufacturers, as well as many others yet to enter the EV marketplace.

These include a promised twenty or more EVs from the VW group over the next two to three years. At that stage – I may as well as collate a list of internal combustion engine vehicles instead: it would likely be shorter!)

The Driven will be publishing a regular update of this list as the timing and pricing of new models becomes clearer. In the meantime, please lookout for our Models page, launching soon, which will include pricing, specifications, reviews, road trips and news on all available models in Australia.
