Welcome back to Plugged In Australia. Today we dive deep into the small affordable EVs that could shake up our market – Chery’s QQ3 hatch and Leapmotor’s A10 crossover both showing real local promise.
We examine the fresh data linking the federal EV discount directly to the first drop in transport emissions since the pandemic.
A luxury EREV packing a built-in toilet has filed multiple Australian trademarks and could be on its way.
A major independent study proves EV batteries are outlasting expectations by a wide margin. BYD’s Atto 3 is set for a big power and range upgrade with Australian approval already secured. Korean researchers solve a long-standing lithium-metal barrier that could mean 12-minute charging in future models. We look at the EVs that shrug off freezing conditions (important for anyone in Tassie, the Victorian Alps or even a frosty Canberra morning).
A think-piece argues the Instant Asset Write-Off is a smarter lever than FBT for small business EV uptake. IM Motors’ digital chassis tech gets a full breakdown – it’s already in MG showrooms here.
We review the MG HS Super Hybrid’s real-world efficiency numbers, and Chery Australia reaffirms its commitment to pure BEVs even while rolling out PHEVs.
