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.
