Plugged In Australia episode 49 covers one of the biggest Australian EV market shifts so far in 2026. 

Battery-electric vehicles hit another record share of the new-car market in April, plug-in hybrids keep growing, BYD climbs to second overall behind Toyota, Kia’s EV3 and EV5 momentum shows why NVES is changing product planning, and the federal Electric Car Discount has been extended but will be wound back from 2027.

We also look at Volkswagen turning to China-developed EVs and platforms for future global models, Leapmotor’s B05 electric hatch and B05 Ultra hot hatch getting international suspension tuning before an Australian launch, a new fleet of 30 electric trucks heading into Sydney and Melbourne delivery work, Geely’s expanding Australian plans including seven-seat and box-style plug-in hybrid SUVs, its EOFY finance push and 1000 horsepower off-road architecture, plus BMW’s unusual ladder-frame EV patent and Caterpillar’s drop-in battery-electric power unit for heavy machinery.

In episode 48 of Plugged In Australia, Hyundai launches the Ioniq 6 N locally from $115,000 before on-road costs, bringing 478kW, a 3.2-second sprint and a 487km WLTP range — but also raising hard questions about how many buyers can stretch to a six-figure performance EV. Hyundai’s N division is already talking about cheaper electric performance models, potentially using the upcoming Ioniq 3 as a base.

We also cover Lexus teasing its upcoming three-row electric SUV, likely the TZ, Geely preparing the EX2 budget EV for Australia, Geely’s heavy plug-in hybrid product push, Chery confirming the Q electric hatch for 2027, Jetour’s Australian ambitions, a major spike in EV interest as fuel-price concerns return, Tesla and Polestar sales doubling in April, the ACT hitting 34 per cent zero-emission new-car sales, and Hyundai, Kia and Genesis extending ICCU warranty coverage to 15 years on selected EVs.

In this episode of Plugged In Australia, Tesla’s six-seat Model Y L begins Australian deliveries with 681 kilometres of claimed WLTP range, more family space and the first factory vehicle-to-load system on an Australian Tesla. 

Leapmotor lays out a serious Australian growth plan with one global brand, the B05 electric hatch due this year, a B05 Ultra performance version expected to follow, a D19 flagship SUV under export study, conventional keys finally coming, and a ute still possible but blocked by the lack of a ladder-frame platform. 

Geely previews its next-generation Galaxy concept, a 745 kilowatt new-energy off-road platform and high-efficiency hybrid tech. 

Cadillac prepares to expand its EV dealer network across Australia and New Zealand as Lyriq prices fall and Optiq and Vistiq arrive. 

GWM explains why it still sees smaller EVs as the smarter play while promising more conventional electric models. Chery’s Lepas, iCaur and Freelander brands sharpen their Australian plans with the iCaur V27 and V25 electric and range-extender off-road SUVs locked in. 

Volkswagen’s ID.Polo points to a more affordable, more normal EV reset with physical buttons and familiar nameplates. We also unpack Australia’s incoming plug-in hybrid and EREV wave. 

AEVA’s call for a universal vehicle levy instead of an EV-only road tax, and the Zeekr 8X plug-in hybrid SUV with 1030 kilowatts and supercar-level acceleration.
