Complete list of electric cars coming in 2024

While Australia has been slow off the mark compared to overseas, traditional barriers such as range anxiety, price and access to charging infrastructure are gradually being broken down.

The next 12 months will see more choice for those going electric, as carmakers introduce more new electric hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, SUVs and vans than ever before.

Here’s a rundown on all the electric vehicles that are coming to Australia in 2024, and when.

EV Model: Abarth 500e | Mini Cooper E and Cooper SE | Peugeot E-208 | Peugeot E-308 | VW ID.3

Abarth 500e

The Abarth 500e arrives down under in late 2023 as one of the newest EVs (electric vehicles) priced under $60,000.

Packing a 42kWh lithium-ion battery, this all-electric Italian upstart throws down 113.7kW of power and a relatively hefty 235Nm of torque from its front-mounted motor.

Available in two trims (the limited edition Scorpionissima and the Turismo) with a WLTP-rated range of up to 252km, the 500e can accelerate from 0-100km/hr in 7 seconds.

In Australia, you'll need to cough up $60,500 plus on-roads to get behind the wheel of the limited edition Scorpionissima, or $58,900 for the Turismo.

Just 219 units of the limited edition will be available, with “acid green” and “poison blue” colours to choose from an addition to the Turismo’s “antidote white,” venom black, and “adrenaline red.”

 

Mini Cooper E and Cooper SE

The 2024 Mini Cooper E will join a new Cooper SE in the second half of 2024, bringing with it iconic retro style with a douse of what the British marque calls “‘charismatic simplicity.”

Under its cheeky exterior, it is all business with a step up from the 32.6kWh battery of its predecessor. In 2024, the Cooper E gets a 40.7kWh battery with 302km WLTP range while the Cooper SE packs a 54.2kWh battery pack that is good for an estimated 402km of WLTP-rated mischief on a single charge.

Put the pedal to the metal, and the Cooper SE hurls out 160kW of power and 330Nm torque, with the Cooper E following behind with 135kW/290Nm torque.

While pricing for Australia is not yet confirmed, this British bulldog competes against other chic electric hatchbacks like the Fiat 500e and the Abarth 500e but with more range on offer.

 

Peugeot E-208

Cue the spotlight for the Peugeot e-208, an all-electric hatch oozing French chic that is expected to fetch around $55,000 when it arrives some time in 2024. While local specifications are yet to be announced, in overseas markets a 115kW electric motor flexes 260Nm of torque.

With a 51kWh battery, Peugeot promises a range of up to 400km WLTP, as well as 7.4kW charging on single phase, 11kW on three-phase and 100kW on a DC fast charger for a top up from 20 to 80 per cent in 25 minutes.

 

Peugeot E-308

Registration of interest are open for Peugeot’s all-electric e-308 hatchback, which is set to arrive in the second half of 2024. 

Local specifications are still thin on the ground, but overseas it is available with a 54kWh (51kWh usable) battery offering 410km (WLTP) driving range. Its front wheel drive motor outputs up to 115kW power, with maximum torque of 260Nm. 

It comes with an 11kW on-board charger as standard, and at a public DC charger it can reach a maximum charge rate of 100kW, topping up from 20 to 80 per cent in less than 25 minutes. 

 

VW ID.3

Though it might not appear in Australia until 2025, the VW ID.3 may arrive within a whisker of the end of 2024 - so makes it to the list.

With a 77kWh battery pack, VW’s first all-electric hatch to hit Australian road offers up to WLTP range of 546km range overseas. Overseas specs also include a motor that punches out 150kW power and 310Nm torque.

Volkswagen's target price for the ID.3 down under is a figure 'below $60,000', which is not low in terms of today’s Chinese-dominated market but this price tag plants the ID.3 in the sweet spot for those looking to zip into the EV lane in European style.

EV Model: 2024 Tesla Model 3 | Hyundai IONIQ 6 | Polestar 4 | BMW iX2 eDrive20 and eDrive30

2024 Tesla Model 3

The redesigned 2024 Tesla Model 3 arrives in Australia in early 2024 with improved aerodynamics contributing to an increased WLTP driving range—513km for the RWD and 629km for the Long Range.

It comes in two variants: the base Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) starting from $61,900 and the Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD) priced from $71,900, excluding on-road costs and additional fees.

Tesla tends to keep certain official specs under wraps, but we know the RWD combines a 57.5kWh battery (usable capacity) with a 194kW electric motor, while the Long Range variant uses a 75kWh battery (usable capacity) with dual motors producing 340kW power.

A Performance variant will be back on the menu at some point, with Tesla promising “something very special.”

 

Hyundai IONIQ 6

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 Standard Range joins three 77kWh stablemates in 2024 starting from $65,500 plus on-road costs. This stylish Tesla Model 3 wannabe delivers 111kW power and 350Nm torque, and offers 429km driving range from its 53kWh battery.

Though its power and range can’t compete with the RWD Model 3, it has the advantage of super-fast charging thanks to its 800-volt architecture – 10- to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes. Its 7kW AC charging is on the slow side but not unforgiveable for its small battery.

 

Polestar 4

Polestar 4 is set to arrive on Australian roads in the third quarter of 2024, with a 400kW/686Nm dual-motor setup that sprints to 100km/hr in just 3.8 seconds. The single motor setup delivers 200kW from the rear axle, with a maximum torque of 343Nm.

Range is not to be sniffed at either, boasting up to 610km on a single charge from a 102kWh battery, while the dual motor delivers 580km according to preliminary WLTP announced by the company.

 

BMW iX2 eDrive20 and eDrive30

The BMW iX2 eDrive20 and eDrive30, priced from $82,900 before on-road costs in Australia, are just two of fifteen EV models BMW offers in the luxury SUV segment.

The eDrive20 will arrive in mid-2024 with a 67kWh battery, offering 150kW of power and 247Nm of torque from its front axle motor and delivering a WLTP range of 477km. It charges from 10 to 80 per cent in 30 minutes using a 130kW fast charger.

But first, the $85,700 eDrive30 arrives in early 2024 offering a dual-motor setup that produces 230kW power, 494Nm torque, and acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds. It also houses a 67kWh battery but provides a slightly lower WLTP range of 449km (all ranges according to BMW’s provisional figures.)

In 2024, the all-electric Audi Q8 50 e-tron and e-tron Sportback will join the 55 quattro variant, reviewed here.

Official specs for the entry-level variant are yet to be confirmed but will likely echo that of their simply named predecessor, the e-tron.

These include a 71kWh battery, but new efficiencies delivered in the Q8 55 e-tron mean driving range will exceed the previous WLTP range.

Power-wise, previous specs included 230kW power and 664Nm of torque, and a peak charge rate of 170kW on a DC fast charger.

*Previous model specs

 

Audi Q4 and Q4 Sportback e-tron 

 

The all-electric Q4 e-tron range will arrive in mid-2024, sitting between the combustion engine Q3 and Q5 and joining the flagship Q8 e-tron. 

Originally priced from $88,300 before on-road for the rear-wheel-drive 45 variants and $108,500 for the 55 quattro variants, the Q4 e-tron 45 will be the most affordable all-electric Audi on offer - especially since Audi dropped pricing across the range in September 2024 to start from $84,900.

In its RWD format, it offers up to 562km driving range and 210kW/545Nm while the AWD 55 quattro delivers 250kW power and 679Nm torque.  

As with all e-trons, 7.2kW AC charging can be upgraded to 22kW for a fee, and the 45 can charge at a top rate of 135kW on DC. The 55 quattro will have less driving range but be able to charge faster, with a top charge rate 175kW on a fast charger.

A single all-wheel-drive variant will be on the menu, featuring a 102kWh proprietary Ultium lithium-ion battery, offering an expected range of around 500km.

The dual-motor Lyriq will deliver 373kW power and 610Nm torque and it will support fast charging speeds of up to 190kW. Range, price, and other specs will be announced closer to launch.

 

Chery Omoda E5

The Chery Omoda E5, an electric version of the Omoda 5, is now set to join its ICE (internal combustion engine) stablemates in the third quarter of 2024.

Local specs announced in September 2024 confirm this vehicle is available in two trims, both with a 61kWh battery that promises up to 430km range under the WLTP cycle. It is equipped with a single electric motor producing 150kW of power and 340Nm of torque, and is able to tow 750kg unbraked with a 75kg towball download.

Optional luxury and performance packages, such as the Interior Package and the VZ’s Extreme Package, add premium elements like 360-degree cameras, heated seats, and racing-style bucket seats. Pricing will be revealed soon, with expectations just above the Formentor VZx.

 

Hyundai IONIQ 5 N

The IONIQ 5 N, set to arrive in Australian showrooms in the first half of 2024 to push boundaries as Hyundai's most powerful performance vehicle to date.

It shares much DNA with the Kia EV6 GT, and Hyundai says it is specifically designed for sustained racetrack use without power loss or overheating.

Pricing starts at $111,000 making it the most expensive Hyundai sold in Australia, exclusive of the luxury Genesis brand. The vehicle delivers 448kW power (478kW in boost mode), and can accelerate from 0-100km/hr in just 3.4 seconds.

The IONIQ 5 N sports an 84kWh battery - more energy capacity than the standard IONIQ 5's 77.4kWh. However, due to its high-performance motors and potentially 21” carbon fibre “hybrid” wheels, the range may be less than the standard dual-motor IONIQ 5's 454km WLTP range.

 

Jeep Avenger

The Jeep Avenger, set to arrive in Australia in the second half of 2024, is Jeep's first fully electric SUV.

Available in three variants and originally starting from $53,990 for the entry-level Longitude, $57,990 for the mid-range Limited and $63,990 for the range-topping Summit variant, the Avenger is equipped with a 54.0kWh lithium-ion battery, providing a usable capacity of 50.8kWh. It delivers a total power of 115kW and a 260Nm torque. In September 2025 Jeep dropped pricing by $3000-4000 across the range.

In terms of range, the Jeep Avenger offers a WLTP-estimated electric range of 400km, which Jeep says could extend to 550km in the city. Fast charging capabilities allow the battery to be charged from 20-80 per cent in just 24 minutes, with a maximum DC fast charging speed of 100kW.

 

Kia EV5

The Kia EV5 SUV is set to join the South Korean carmaker’s EV6 crossover and EV9 large SUV – once a delayed launch date is confirmed.

Though local specs and details are yet to be made public, Kia Australia has said that it will introduce three variants: the EV5 Air RWD, EV5 Earth AWD and EV5 GT-Line AWD.  

Until local specs are announced, what we do know from the Rover vehicle approval website is that Kia has gained approval for five sub-variants. Not all specifications are listed in the Rover approval process. 

A Standard Range EV5 in two rear-wheel-drive variants (Light and Air), both with 18” wheels, powered by a 160kW motor. 

There is also a Long Range Air with 18” wheels and a Long Range Earth variant with 19” wheels (both in rear-wheel-drive format powered by a 160kW motor), and an all-wheel-drive Long Range Earth variant on 19” wheels, which has an additional 74kW motor for 234kW combined power output. 

 

Kia EV9

The Kia EV9, Kia's bold foray into large electric SUVs, starts at $97,000, climbing to $121,000 for the top-tier GT. It is equipped with a 99.8kWh battery, delivering a range of up to 512km. Power output varies from 160kW/350Nm in the base model to a hearty 283kW/600Nm in the GT-Line.

Praised for its road-hugging capabilities and surprisingly low cabin noise, the EV9 offers comfort and performance, with the GT-Line standing out for its driving dynamics and advanced safety features.

 

 

Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 is the latest addition to the German carmaker’s all-electric stable.  With a sleek, aerodynamic design topped off by the classic Maybach grille and stylish LED lights, this opulent machine is all about luxurious comfort.  

As one of the longest range EVs on the market and a price to match, the EQS 680 is sure to impress. 

The focus inside is on the rear row: passengers get to enjoy executive-style style upholstery with premium leather, ventilation and massage functions while sitting amongst high-end wood trim and ambient lighting. 

The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 comes equipped with a substantial 125 kWh battery (118 kWh usable), offering an impressive WLTP range of up to 635 km. It delivers a powerful performance with 484 kW and 950 Nm of torque, enabling a swift acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. This high-performance SUV also features a robust charging capability, with a 22 kW AC and 200 kW DC charge rate, ensuring quick and convenient recharging. 

With a starting price of $328,607 before on-road costs (ORC), this vehicle stands out as a premium choice for those seeking both luxury and advanced electric performance. 

 

Mini Aceman 

The Mini Aceman is the first model from the iconic marque to arrive solely in pure electric format. Arriving in the last quarter of 2024 (October to December), the four-door Aceman will be offered in an entry-level E and premium SE variant, showcasing classic Mini style with features like Union Jack rear lights and a circular digital interface on the red-flecked dash. 

The E variant in Classic trim comes standard with panoramic glass roof, parking and speed limit assistant, augmented reality navigation, heated sport seats and a six-speaker sound system. The SE comes in Favoured trim which takes it up a notch with John Cooper Works seats with electric adjustment, active driver seat functions, anthracite headliner, sun protection glazing and a ten-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. 

 

Mini Countryman E and SE

 

Two all-electric Mini Countryman SUVs will arrive in 2024 to join the Mini Cooper E and SE, giving drivers the option of a larger SUV-style electric Mini with much better range than its hatch companion. 

Both variants will have the same 64.7kWh battery, but different power and torque ratings. While the Countryman E will offer 150kW power and 250Nm torque, the SE puts out 230kW power and maximum 494Nm torque. 

Consequently, range for the SE is 30km less than for the E. But combined with the skateboard driving experience Mini owners love, we’re sure the shorter range will be forgiven.  

 

Peugeot E-2008 facelift

Just months after introducing the e-2008 in Australia, Peugeot is bringing its upgraded facelift. Arriving in Australia in 2024, the 2023 e-2008 features a slightly larger 54kWh battery (up from 50kWh), increasing the driving range to 406km WLTP.

Power output has increased by 15kW, with the electric motor now delivering 115kW and 260Nm of torque. This upgrade aims to improve performance and range efficiency.

It is one of a handful of EVs from Polestar and Volvo that is introducing high-tech child safety features – in particular, internal radar sensors that can detect the presence of movement inside a locked car.

Equipped with a hefty 111kWh battery pack, the Polestar 3 promises a generous driving range of up to 610km according to the EV maker’s preliminary figures.

Renault Megane E-Tech

The 2024 Renault Megane E-Tech, arriving in the first quarter of 2024, is available for order at $64,990 before on-road costs. It features a 60kWh lithium-ion battery, providing a real-world driving range of up to 419km.

The single electric motor offers 160kW of power and 300Nm of torque, resulting in a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.4 seconds. The Megane E-Tech's maximum charge rate is 130kW meaning it can charge from 15-80 per cent in around 30 minutes on a DC fast charger.

On an AC slow charger, its 7.4kW charge rate will take is from 0-100 per cent in 9 hours and 15 minutes.

Škoda Enyaq 85 SUV and Coupe

The Škoda Enyaq SUV and coupe are now set to arrive in December 2024 in both a single motor and a dual motor format. Known as the Enyaq 85 Sportline and the Enyaq RS 4WD, they both feature an 82kWh gross capacity (77kWh usable) battery pack offering up to 561km range.

While official local specs are yet to be confirmed, in overseas markets the single motor format delivers 210kW power and 545Nm torque, which Škoda says increases the acceleration a full two seconds to 6.7 secs from 0-100km/hr.

The dual motor ups the ante with 250kW power and 679Nm torque, whittling the 0-100 sprint is down to 5.5 seconds.

A top charge rate of 175kW on a DC fast charger offers a top-up from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes.

Zeekr X

The Zeekr X electric SUV from Geely's Zeekr marks the Chinese brand's entry into the Australian market. This sleek compact vehicle is aimed at younger, city-based drivers and is competitively priced against EV market mainstays such as the Tesla Model Y to attract the growing market of electric vehicle buyers.

 

Images may be of overseas models.

BMW i5 

The BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring, launching in Australia in Q3 2024, becomes the country's second electric wagon, following the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. It introduces BMW's first electric touring model, featuring an 84kWh battery for a 506km WLTP range.

Despite its ICE-based platform, it delivers strong performance with a dual motor setup offering 442kW and 800Nm of torque, achieving 0 to 100km/hr in 3.9 seconds. Its efficiency is rated at 18.3-20.8kWh/100km, but a 205kW max charging capability ensures quick stops at charging stations.

Ford E-Transit Custom

The Ford E-Transit Custom, due for launch in 2024, will be available in just one variant with either a mid or high roof offering up to 12.4 cubic metres of cargo capacity. Cargo-wise, it can carry 1.61 tonnes in its mid-roof configuration or 1.57 in its high-roof configuration. 

This electric van is kitted out with a 68kWh (usable) battery pack, offering an estimated range of up to 307km on the WLTP cycle – plenty of range for the majority of urban delivery routes. 

The E-Transit Custom's electric motor produces 198kW of power and 403Nm of torque. It also supports DC fast charging at up to 115kW, with a 15-80% recharge taking about 34 minutes. Using an 11kW AC three-phase charger, the battery can be fully recharged in around 8 hours.
