ev cars australia 2023

2023 was the year EVs in Australia stopped being a curiosity and started nicking real market share—about 7% of new-car sales. The Tesla Model Y and Model 3 ran the scoreboard, with BYD Atto 3, MG ZS EV, Polestar 2, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 rounding out the usual suspects. Entry prices dipped into the high‑$30k bracket while the fancy stuff soared past $100k, so there’s something for champagne tastes and instant noodles budgets alike. Charging got easier too, with more public sites and faster plugs popping up like mushrooms after rain. If you want simple, reliable range and value, the mainstream crossovers are the sweet spot; if you want to flex, the sporty sedans will do it without a drop of 98RON.
