EV Channels Review

This CarsGuide podcast episode, 'ACCESS DENIED,' delves into 12 significant electric vehicles and utes that are currently unavailable to the Australian market. The hosts highlight the growing EV adoption in Australia, noting a substantial increase in registrations despite EVs still representing a small percentage of overall sales. The discussion covers a diverse range of vehicles, from the practical Peugeot 208/2008 and the immense GMC Hummer EV, to the highly anticipated Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevrolet Silverado EV, and the lifestyle-focused Rivian R1T. The conversation also touches on the controversial Ford Mustang Mach-E, the charming Honda e, and the ultra-affordable Wuling Hongguang Mini EV. While some models like the Volkswagen ID.3/ID.4 and BYD Seal are confirmed for Australia, their arrival is delayed. The episode underscores the global diversity in EV offerings and the frustration for Australian consumers missing out on these innovations, particularly in the ute and micro-car segments. The hosts express a desire for greater EV availability and support in Australia.
