Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) make up the bulk of all-electric sales in Australia, but buyers still have choice when looking at models produced elsewhere.
Electric Cars
Electric cars have come to the fore in a big way in Australia, with tailpipe emissions-free models available in all shapes and sizes, and at nearly every price point.
A majority of these models are coming from China, with production capacity and Australia’s free-trade agreement creating fewer barriers for the local market.
But, as evidenced by comments in every Chinese electric vehicle (EV) story we publish, some of you – for one reason or another – have a problem with the country of origin.
It's up to you whether you buy a car from China, but there’s a clear vocal interest looking outside of what the world’s largest car market is producing.
To that end, if you are in the market for an electric car, and do not want to buy one made in China, here are all your options in Australia listed from most expensive to least.
