Welcome back to Plugged In Australia! In Episode 6 we break down the hottest early 2026 EV news from Sydney. Kia confirms the punchy EV3 GT for Australia with sporty performance and sharp pricing, Tesla rolls out a $2000 trade-in bonus on the bestselling Model Y, Geely extends factory incentives on the EX5 SUV, and the refreshed MG4 hatch gets launched with big price slashes in right-hand-drive markets.
We also cover Jaguar doubling down on its all-electric relaunch (no hybrids in sight) and Tesla's big strategy shift—focusing almost entirely on autonomy with no new traditional drivable models soon. Deals, hot hatches, premium reboots, and the robotaxi future—all with Aussie buyer angles!
