Australia’s EV Battleground – Tesla, BYD & the Electric Price War!
In this episode, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Feann Torr from @carsales to unpack the electric vehicle revolution transforming Australia. From BYD and MG to Tesla and Hyundai, they discuss how Chinese automakers are shaking up the industry and driving EVs to become the most affordable option on the market.
Feann shares his insights into the rapid rise of EV interest — growing from 30% to 37% of Australian car buyers — and explains how China has become the country’s third-largest source of car imports.
They also discuss how Chinese EVs are winning the price war, the psychological shift that’s making electric cars feel like “just another car” to new buyers, and why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is converting even the most loyal V8 fans. Finally, Feann and Robert couldn’t help but get just a little excited about the groundbreaking potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and what it could mean for an energy-independent Australia.
