best electric car australia 2023

In Australia circa 2023, the “best” EV depends on budget and taste, not just kilowatts. For all‑round value, the Tesla Model 3 delivers long range, sharp pricing, and access to a huge Supercharger network. Need family space? The Tesla Model Y does the school run and road trips without complaint.

On a tighter budget, the MG4 and BYD Atto 3 land real‑world range and decent kit from roughly AUD 40k–55k. Prefer something flashier? Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 add style and rapid 800V charging with ranges around 450–500 km. Pick based on charging access and size first, then performance—because the quickest car is useless if you can’t plug it in.
