I have owned a Hyundai Kona for 3,5 year now, it has been a great car except for noisy cabin. Which can be fixed. Good adaptive cruise control, heat in the steering wheel, both heat and ventilation in front seats, curved head lights or what it’s called in english and a lot of adjustments for the seats. And best of all, really low energy consumption, even in the winter. In the summer I usually have a consumption around 125 Wh/km, mixed speeds.
Hi Sam. I think Ford is missing a big opportunity by not bringing the base model for the Mustang Mach E to Australia. In NZ, the base price cost 80K NZD, which is like 75K AUD. The base model in Australia cost 88K AUD, which is 13K more for a 30 km more range ( 470 km )and Panoramic Roof. If I'm going to spend 88K on a car, I would prefer to get a Tesla Model Y Long Range that got dual motors and 530 Km of range.
Past. Now, by value for money: BYD Seagull with sodium batt~28k? 2024/hope sooner? > BYD Dolphin~$35k > MG4 ~$45 (Tesla has no rear wiper for ridiclulous cost :( new better batteries are comming, don't waste money on old tech :)
I'm personally looking forward to the Fiat 500e, but I'm keeping my hopes up that more options will come, theres just so few 2 door small hatchback EVs, way too many SUV / big cars. We want more affordable small cars with motorway (110km) capability. I don't care about big tech, infotainment, acceleration, top speed or blah blah just excuses to raise prices. A car that goes from A to B that I know is gonna work reliably for the next 10 years is all I want it doesn't even need speakers, I can just use my own Bluetooth speaker connected to my phone. Just a barebones EV please!
what about the BYD Tang 2024 version? I will have 11KWh charging capability, 20KW extra battery, heat pump and maybe another front grill. I am living in Belgium and pre-ordered it. Will be available end of 2023 in Belgium.
The problem with Teslas in Australia is insurance, it's very expensive or unobtainable (in places). Teslas are becoming uninsurable because their gigacastings, once damaged cannot be repaired, meaning they get totalled easily. Then there's the long lead time to get spare parts (months), meaning that replacement rental car costs are huge
The insurance industry has always been very quick to raise premiums for anything new or different. I can recall the fuss when 'metallic' paint colours were introduced; then there was HSLA steel in the 80s (now the norm); Now the Aluminium gigacastings, despite Rover and others having used Aluminium for decades. Remember: the insurers will screw you for as much as they can.
I had a Sportage. I was in a relatively minor T bone accident. The tow truck driver told me that once the airbags deployed, the vehicle was a write off. He was right, RACV wrote it off. Teslas are expensive compared to the Sportage. Insurance will be higher, obviously. There is also little history as yet, so the actuarial calculations are difficult. Subaru WRX owners know how hard insurance can be.
High Tesla insurance is total media FUD. I pay < $920 per year. The casting is not affected in a crash as it’s the main structure of the car. It only gets damaged in a serious accident in which case it’d be a write off just like any other car. Conversely the BMW i3 is fully carbon fibre and can become a write off due to cracking from a small shunt. Nothing in the media about that, BMW pay their advertising taxes.
@@MarksElectricLife That's for now. Do you know how insurance companies work? As the totalled Tesla numbers rise, your premiums will go up too. Google it, plenty of people already seeing big jumps. So enjoy it while it lasts.
It may be a very compelling car but whats not to like? The name! I know its immature but I will not be seen in a car named after a chip stealing air rat. 🤢
@@lionelwylie2326 if it’s any consolation it’ll likely not be named that anywhere other than China. Probably the Atto 1 in European and Australasian markets.
It’s not coming. Ever. No RHD assembly line. No chance of an ANCAP rating above three stars. Won’t accelerate to highway speeds up an on-ramp. Barely tops 105km/h. Did I mention it’s not RHD? While there are RHD assembly lines in Thailand, the BYD seal isn’t one of them. Stop dreaming
@@ChromeFlakes LOL yes that helps a lot. Like I said the car is quite compelling air rats are not. The Chinese are wise it would be hard to sell a seagull in Australia.
Of these new for ‘24 or ‘25, I would look for an affordable smaller car. The model 2 is a possibility. But, it would have to be 25-30k. I already have a Tesla Model Y and would look for a something compatible with the Supercharger network. Good for around town errands, or a daily driver commute.
Need your advice .. looking to buy a car through work under novat e lease .. under 60k .. what say you ?? Buy second hand car and wait 2 years for influx of EVS OR ??
Apparently, reports are the Ora Cat has just been delayed. Its a bit more expensive than I thought too. Check the Dolphin AU price, as there is an on-line report that it might be a bit higher priced than first thought as well. Might be closer to Atto. Some of the models coming are interesting, but pardon me for thinking we are getting upmarket versions more than economical versions. Prices seem keep going up for some reason, IMO.
Amazing. Electric is moving in the right direction fast, 80 new models can only be good for the consumer who does his research. I am sure there is a lot of crap in there but out of 80 at least 20 must be really good.
You're definitely right about prioritizing affordability, especially during these times of economic doom and gloom. For interesting offers, I would look at everything coming from China, Volkswagen, Tesla 2, Nissan Ariya, the Koreans, and Fiats (because I think they're cute cars).
Some great looking vehicles in that list. The standouts are the unique body style models, so many hatch style SUV’s that just blend into each other. Shane there’s not many dual cab utes. Ford needs to produce a Ranger e-Raptor.
I didn't think the US spec Cybertruck is leaving North American shores, they may make a smaller version for overseas markets. Didn't know that many VW ID.x were coming only the ID.4 at some point. The EX30 based on a review that Kris Rifa did is very much original Kona size a small SUV(CUV really).
Had a 2109 Kona EV for over 3.5yrs and your comment on them not being very good is , to be blank bullshit. Great range and efficiency that would put most the current evs to shame
No GM EV products going to Australia??? Wow, You sure have allot of EV vehicles in the future in Australia to choose from. Great video. Be interested in what the Tesla Model 2 will have to offer in the US - features and prices. Have been also looking at the Tesla Model Y long range here in the US. Thanks and take care.
Its sad but not many low volume come to Australia because they need to run a new production line for RHD. You can still import them yourself and convert to RHD at high cost. This seems only to be done on the more classic cars.
Why so many EV's coming to Australia? The population is only 26m big country with small population not a big market for cars businesswise, not like Brazil and India.
I live in Darwin, if you want to road trip more like 600km. It is still a pain but at least it can be done, with that higher range. Anything less than 550 EPA range in Darwin is just town car.
@Malcolm Rickarby Rubbish!!! Most people blah! blah! Who are you to say what an individual wants? Range is one of criteria for some people. People on this site are constantly talking about different battery types and extended range.
@@robertfonovic3551 the average car travels 40km a day in Australia so unless you're travelling from Sydney to Gold Coast every day, then there's no issues with range.

I will never have an electric car, simply because they're a terrible fire risk. Ask any fire department, and they will tell you, an electric car fire is extremely difficult to put out. They require huge amounts of water over many hours, to extinguish, and even then, can still catch fire again afterwards. The problem is, they have lots of small lithium batteries, that if the contents are exposed to air (say, in an accident), can catch fire, and burn fiercely, so I will never put myself or my family at risk, by buying one of these potential death traps. Do some research, and you'll find this very true. If they can power them by some other 'safe' means in the future, I might change my mind, but at the moment, they're simply too dangerous. No thank you, I'll pass!
Just bought my first EV this weekend! Kia EV6 Wind! Absolutely love it!!!! Thanks for all the EV info Viking!!!

I will never have an electric car, simply because they're a terrible fire risk. Ask any fire department, and they will tell you, an electric car fire is extremely difficult to put out. They require huge amounts of water over many hours, to extinguish, and even then, can still catch fire again afterwards. The problem is, they have lots of small lithium batteries, that if the contents are exposed to air (say, in an accident), can catch fire, and burn fiercely, so I will never put myself or my family at risk, by buying one of these potential death traps. Do some research, and you'll find this very true. If they can power them by some other 'safe' means in the future, I might change my mind, but at the moment, they're simply too dangerous. No thank you, I'll pass!
Someone else said this so Im mr plagiarism but I think model3 is going on a y platform.
You're good with me. It's an obvious move. Could never plagiarise as much as Sam here.
Maybe tell us which are less than 40K? 😂😂😂
Meanwhile, back in the real world........ ;-)
