best ev 2023 australia

“Best” EV in Australia for 2023 depends on what you prize: price, range, charging speed, or space—because no single battery-powered unicorn exists.

Here are front-runners with proper pros and cons, minus the fanboy fever:

• Tesla Model 3 — pros: strong efficiency, vast fast-charging network, slick software; cons: firm ride and sparse cabin won’t charm everyone
• BYD Atto 3 — pros: sharp value and generous kit for the money; cons: infotainment quirks and a dealership network still finding its feet
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 — pros: rapid 800V charging and lounge-like space; cons: higher pricing and patchy supply
• Kia EV6 — pros: sporty drive and fast charging; cons: not cheap and rear vision isn’t stellar

Pick based on your charging access and commute—range anxiety is mostly a mindset, like fearing magpies after August.

Test-drive the lot and buy the one that makes you grin without terrifying your accountant.
