Battery capacities are approximate usable capacity. WLTP range is the manufacturer's claimed figure under standardised test conditions — real-world range varies with speed, temperature and driving style. Energy use (kWh/100 km) is calculated from battery and range. Max DC is the vehicle's maximum DC fast charging speed — the charger must also support that speed. Data reflects models available in Australia as of early 2026 and is subject to change.
How to use this list with the calculators
Select your vehicle
Click "Select" next to any vehicle in the table above. This saves your vehicle's battery size, efficiency and charging speed, and automatically fills those values into every calculator on the site. Reference tables in the guides also update to show results for your specific vehicle. Your selection is remembered in your browser so it carries across pages and visits.
Custom vehicles
If your vehicle is not listed, open the My EV panel from the header and add a custom vehicle with your own battery size, efficiency and range figures. Custom vehicles work the same way — every calculator and reference table adapts to your specs.
Custom electricity rates
You can also set your own electricity prices in the My EV panel. If you know your off peak rate, EV tariff or public charging price, entering those values updates every calculator and comparison table across the site to reflect what you actually pay.
Default values
If no vehicle is selected, calculators use default values of a 100 kWh battery and 16 kWh per 100 km efficiency, which represent a mid-to-large EV driven in mixed conditions. These defaults give a reasonable starting point for general comparisons.
Battery size ranges
Battery sizes in EVs available in Australia generally fall into these ranges.
| Type | Typical battery size | Typical WLTP range |
|---|---|---|
| Hatch | 30 – 64 kWh | 220 – 450 km |
| Sedan | 53 – 87 kWh | 430 – 630 km |
| Small SUV | 51 – 69 kWh | 320 – 490 km |
| Medium SUV | 60 – 87.5 kWh | 428 – 570 km |
| Large SUV / Ute | 75 – 112 kWh | 380 – 630 km |
Ranges are approximate based on models available in Australia as of early 2026.
Frequently asked questions
What affects EV range?
Several factors affect how far an EV can travel on a full charge. Speed has a significant effect — highway driving at higher speeds uses more energy per kilometre than urban driving. Temperature also matters, with cold weather reducing range more than warm conditions. Air conditioning and heating draw power from the battery, as do steep hills and carrying heavy loads. Driving style also plays a role. Smoother, more consistent driving generally extends range compared with frequent heavy acceleration.
How accurate are EV range estimates?
Manufacturer range figures are typically measured under standardised test conditions that do not always reflect real world driving. Real world range varies depending on speed, temperature, driving style and how much climate control is used. Many drivers find that actual range is 10 to 20 percent below the manufacturer figure in everyday conditions, though this varies considerably between vehicles and conditions.
Does a bigger battery always mean more range?
Not necessarily. Range depends on both battery size and how efficiently the vehicle uses energy. A smaller, lighter EV with a 60 kWh battery can sometimes match the range of a heavier SUV with a larger battery because it uses less energy per kilometre. This is why the energy use figure (kWh per 100 km) matters as much as the battery size when comparing vehicles.
Do EV owners usually charge to 100%?
Usually not. For many EVs, an everyday charge limit of around 80% is common, with 100% used more selectively for longer trips or when the extra range is genuinely needed. The best limit depends on the vehicle and battery chemistry, so it is best to follow the manufacturer guidance for your specific model.
