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
NMC battery chemistry leads in the Australian market, with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries gaining popularity due to their improved safety, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. This shift reflects the industry's move toward more sustainable and affordable battery technologies for mass market adoption.
Range Distribution
Most EVs available in Australia offer practical daily driving ranges between 300-500km, addressing range anxiety concerns for urban and suburban commuting. The growing number of vehicles offering 400km+ range reflects advancing battery technology and manufacturers' focus on meeting Australian consumers' distance 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. This range accommodates diverse Australian driving needs, from urban commuting to highway touring across the continent's vast distances.
Battery Capacity Distribution
Battery pack sizes are optimizing for real-world usage, with most vehicles featuring 50-80kWh capacities that provide the sweet spot between range, cost, and weight. Larger batteries in premium vehicles offer extended range for Australia's unique long-distance travel requirements.

I vibe-coded this entire python website in a few weekends using Claude.ai. I didn’t know python at all, and I felt guilty claiming that I built this all myself— so guilty, that it felt only right to make Claude my “Head of Programming”.
