The cost to buy an electric vehicle remains, understandably, the key barrier to electric car adoption. But, times are changing.

While new car ‘affordability’ depends on your personal circumstances, there is a growing list of new lower-cost EVs entering Australia that have increased competition and buyer choice.

What electric models are available and how much do they cost to buy? Here’s your definitive list.

⚡️ How much do electric cars cost?

The cheapest new EVs in Australia start from around $40K drive-away – but most models centre in the $60K to $90K range.

Some state governments offer rebates and incentives to further lower the price tag, while the federal government has exempted the fringe benefits tax (FBT) for select electric models on company novated leases and commercial fleets to cut running costs.

Generally, for the price range of a popular petrol- or diesel-powered medium family SUV or 4x4 ute today, buyers can comfortably get into most EVs from a size segment below.

However, some Chinese-made EV models already wear price tags matching high-spec petrol-powered internal combustion engine (ICE) rivals, if not even cheaper.

As more Australians and fleets make the electric switch, more models will eventually flow on to create a larger and more accessible used EV market.

While electric cars are generally not ‘cheap’, reduced total ownership costs – including cheaper charging expenses and less demanding maintenance – mean the price premium (if at all) will be paid back over time as you own the vehicle longer and drive further.

Of course, there are other factors to consider including how much driving range you really need, the ability (or lack thereof) to ideally charge at home, and typically pricier insurance premiums. So, a pure EV may not be right for you depending on your requirements (at least for now).
