Australia's electric vehicle market has surged 134% in the past year, driven by an influx of affordable Chinese EVs priced under $30,000. EVs cost approximately $720 annually to power compared to $1,740 for petrol vehicles, with minimal servicing requirements and battery longevity exceeding 15 years. Super hybrids offer over 1,000 kilometres range on a single charge, making them viable for long-distance travel outside cities.
