√Electric car calendar: New electric cars coming to Australia

Post a Comment

Dozens of new electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are slated for Australian showrooms over the next 18 months and beyond. Here’s what to expect.

Electric vehicles (EVs) plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are rising in popularity in Australia, as a growing choice of zero- and low-emissions vehicles start to fill both ends of the price scale.

Close to 22,000 electric vehicles have been reported as sold in Australia from January to September 2022 – or 2.7 per cent of the total new-car market – while about 4500 plug-in hybrid cars have found homes since the start of the year.

This is in addition to the 59,000 petrol-electric hybrids sold so far this year – which represent the overwhelming majority of electrified vehicles in Australia, and 7.3 per cent of total new-car sales. Indeed, Toyota earlier this month delivered its 300,000th petrol-electric hybrid since the original Prius arrived in October 2001; hybrids now account for almost 30 per cent of Toyota’s sales in Australia.

Driving the surge in sales of electric cars is a broader range of new models from which to choose – from sub-$50,000 small hatchbacks and family SUVs, to $300,000-plus luxury limousines and performance SUVs.

At the end of 2021, there were 18 electric vehicles available to order in Australia. Today there are more than 30 – and that number is set to grow to about 45 in the next six months, and beyond 60 over the next 18 months.

Meanwhile, there are 30 PHEVs currently available to order in Australia – and while some will drop off the list in the coming months as brands focus on solely-electric cars instead, there are eight new PHEVs due in Australia in the next 18 months.

Here’s every new plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle confirmed for Australia – that we know about so far.

Note: Quarters refer to three-month periods throughout the year. First quarter is January to March, second quarter is April to June, third quarter is July to September, fourth quarter is October to December.
