From the mighty Porsche Taycan to the not-so-humble Mini Cooper SE, there’s an EV on the market for you.
The Tesla Model Y SUV is sure to be a winner in Australia, given the Model 3’s popularity here.
The Model 3 sedan is the biggest-selling EV in Australia by a country mile. The closely related Model Y will probably replace it at the top of the charts, given our love of SUVs and the relatively small premium over the base sedan.Despite the slightly cultish nature of the brand, some design quirks and prices that jump all over the place, the Model 3 is a pleasure to drive. And in many ways, it reflects the huge lead Tesla has gained on the legacy makers.
See the entry on Polestar; this is very similar under the skin, and also has much to commend it. A new fastback version, known as the C40, further distances it from the petrol platform by having a flat floor and other tweaks.China has dozens of big EV makers, and many of them have international ambitions. Last year, the Chinese built almost half of the world’s electric vehicles, so it seems only a matter of time before their domestic brands shake up our market.
