I’ve been looking into making the switch to an electric car (EV) and, like many of you, I want to get the best deal possible. There’s been a lot of buzz around the growing EV market in Australia, and I’m curious to know: What’s the cheapest electric car available right now?
Here are some questions I’m hoping the community can help answer:
What’s the most affordable EV on the market today? Any hidden costs to watch out for (like charging infrastructure, servicing, etc.)?
Has anyone seen price drops or promotions for EVs recently, or do you think they’ll get cheaper towards the end of the year?
Are there any government incentives (Victoria) or rebates I should be aware of that could make buying now more appealing?
Would it be smarter to wait until the end of the year for a better deal? I’ve heard rumours that prices might drop as competition heats up and more models enter the market. Plus, are there any new EVs launching soon that are worth waiting for?
I’m leaning towards waiting till the end of the year, as I know companies sometimes offer deals around the holidays, and there could be new government incentives or tax breaks introduced. But I don’t want to miss out on a great deal if now’s the perfect time to buy!
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice. Thanks in advance for any insights!
Edit: Thank you all! Going to organise an MG4 test drive!
