Vehicle Specifications Analysis

Technical analysis of EVs available in the Australian market

Country of Manufacture

China dominates the Australian EV import market, reflecting the country's position as the world's largest EV manufacturer. This aligns with global trends where Chinese manufacturers like BYD have become major players in the electric vehicle space, offering competitive pricing and advanced technology to international markets.

Battery Chemistry

LFP battery chemistry is gaining market share, with Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries now powering many affordable EVs due to their improved safety, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. NMC batteries continue to dominate premium segments, offering higher energy density for extended range vehicles.

Range Distribution

Most EVs available in Australia now offer 400km+ range, addressing previous range anxiety concerns. The growing number of vehicles exceeding 500km range reflects advancing battery technology and manufacturers' focus on meeting Australian consumers' long-distance travel requirements.

Motor Power Distribution

EV power outputs span from efficient city cars to performance vehicles, with many models offering between 150-300kW to balance performance with efficiency. Higher power outputs are becoming more common as dual-motor AWD configurations gain popularity.

Battery Capacity Distribution

Battery pack sizes are optimizing for real-world usage, with most vehicles featuring 60-80kWh capacities that provide the sweet spot between range, cost, and charging time. Larger batteries in premium vehicles offer extended range for Australia's unique long-distance travel requirements.
