Electric vehicles have outsold petrol-only cars in Australia for the second month running, accounting for almost one in four new vehicle sales in September. We unpack the figures, the leading models and what growing competition means for buyers.
Hyundai has scrapped the Ioniq 3’s Australian launch, saying the numbers no longer stack up in an increasingly competitive small-EV market. What does that tell us about the pressure on established brands?
We also discuss the Honda Super-One: a tiny electric hatch with around 200km of range, a simulated gearbox and a $36,900 driveaway price. Can personality justify the premium?
Plus, Mitsubishi returns with its first new EV in 15 years – and says the flagship ASX VR-e will be its fastest-accelerating model ever sold in Australia.
