Buy an Electric Car in Australia
and Save Thousands

BuyFleet compares EV prices across our nationwide dealer network. Whether you want a Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, Kia, or MG — we find you the best deal without the dealership stress.

The electric vehicle market in Australia has exploded. In 2024, EVs accounted for more than 8% of new car sales — a number that's growing fast. With dozens of models now available from both established brands and exciting newcomers, choosing the right EV can feel overwhelming. That's where BuyFleet comes in.

We work with dealers across every state to find you the best drive-away price on any electric vehicle. Our buyers have the relationships, the volume leverage, and the market knowledge to save you real money — often $3,000 to $8,000 off what you'd pay walking into a showroom.

Better still, we handle the paperwork, liaise with dealers, and manage delivery. You just pick the car.

EV Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying an electric car in Australia.

How far can an electric car travel on one charge in Australia?

Most modern EVs sold in Australia offer between 300 km and 600 km of real-world range. Entry-level models like the BYD Dolphin deliver around 340 km, while longer-range options like the Tesla Model Y Long Range and BYD Seal exceed 500 km per charge. For daily driving — the average Australian drives under 40 km per day — range anxiety is rarely a practical concern.

Is charging an electric car expensive in Australia?

Charging at home overnight is dramatically cheaper than petrol — typically around $3–$8 for a full charge depending on your electricity tariff and car size. Public fast chargers cost more but are still far below equivalent petrol costs. Most EV owners save $2,000–$4,000 per year on fuel alone.

Are there government incentives for buying an EV in Australia?

Yes. The Federal Government's FBT exemption makes EVs under the luxury car tax threshold extremely attractive for novated lease buyers. Several states also offer stamp duty exemptions, registration discounts, and direct rebates. ACT, NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, and WA all have active EV incentive programs. See our state-by-state breakdown above for current details.

Do electric cars hold their resale value in Australia?

EV resale values vary significantly by brand. Tesla has historically retained value well. Newer Chinese brands like BYD and MG are still establishing track records. Generally, popular models in short supply hold value better. As charging infrastructure grows and EV adoption accelerates, resale values are expected to stabilise across the market.

Can I finance an electric car in Australia?

Absolutely. EVs can be financed through standard car loans, novated leases (particularly tax-efficient for employees), or chattel mortgage for business buyers. BuyFleet's finance partner BuyFleet Finance compares 50+ lenders to find you the best EV loan rate. Explore finance options →

How much does it cost to service an electric car?

EVs have significantly lower servicing costs than petrol vehicles. There are no oil changes, fewer brake replacements (regenerative braking reduces wear), and fewer moving parts overall. Annual servicing typically costs 30–50% less than an equivalent petrol car.

Which electric car is best for families in Australia?

The Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, BYD Atto 3, and Volvo EX90 are all excellent family EVs available in Australia. The best choice depends on your budget, range requirements, and seating needs. BuyFleet can help you compare all options and find the best deal for your specific situation.

Can BuyFleet get a better price on EVs than going direct to a dealer?

Yes. BuyFleet works with a nationwide dealer network and purchases vehicles in volume, giving us leverage individual buyers don't have. On popular models like the Tesla Model Y or BYD Atto 3, we regularly save customers $2,000–$8,000 off the drive-away price compared to walking into a dealership.

What about home charging — do I need a special charger installed?

Every EV comes with a cable that works on a standard 10A power point (the same as your washing machine). This adds roughly 10–20 km of range per hour. For faster overnight charging, a Level 2 home charger (7kW) can be installed by a licensed electrician for around $1,000–$2,000 and will fully charge most EVs in 4–8 hours. We're happy to advise on what suits your vehicle when you enquire.
