    Cheapest Australian EV: 2026 BYD Atto 1

    After a massive price drop, BYD’s cheapest car is the Atto 1 at only $19,990 drive away. This is easily the cheapest electric vehicle Australia has seen to date.

    You get what you pay for. The specs aren’t great, but not everyone needs more than this. Range is only 220 kms so it is not suited for long-distance trips. You’d spend half the time charging.

    0-100km/h in a 11.1 seconds is very much on the slow side in the EV world.
