Cut through the noise. Skip the hype. Let us do the legwork.
Let’s be honest—buying an EV can still feel like a big decision.
Even with more models available than ever, we still hear the same questions:
“Should I wait?”
“What if I pick the wrong one?”
“Will it suit my daily life?”
At carconnect, we help people figure that out every day. The truth? EVs can be a smart move—if they match your lifestyle. But they’re not for everyone.
Here’s what’s changed in 2025—and how we help make the switch easier.
What’s New in 2025?
The market’s grown fast. There are now over 50 EV models available in Australia, with budget-friendly brands like MG, BYD and GWM gaining traction. Some states, including NSW and VIC, are offering government rebates, and charging stations are more common than they were a few years ago.
Still, there are a few things to watch out for:
- Charging takes planning—especially if you travel long distances
- Delivery delays are still a thing
- Real-world range and savings vary a lot between models
Quick Guide: EV Types (No Jargon)
BEV = Fully electric, no petrol. Needs charging.
PHEV = Battery + petrol. Short electric range.
Hybrid = Petrol-powered with a small battery. No charging needed.
How Do EVs Compare on Cost?
| EVs | Petrol Cars | |
| Running | ~25c/km (home charging) | 40–60c/km (fuel) |
| Servicing | Cheaper (fewer parts) | Can be more costly |
| Upfront | Often higher | More options under $30k |
| Resale | Getting better but unknown for new brands | Strong for known brands, easier to predict |
Is It the Right Time for You?
Ask yourself:
- Can you charge at home?
- Do you mostly drive short distances?
- Want to lower running costs and emissions?
If that’s a yes, you might be ready to go electric.
