    The value proposition on these, especially with the promos, is quite impressive.

    • +5

      The 1000kWh charging credit would be worth about $600 at 60c per kWh … or $80 if you have no problem charging at home on off-peak rate of 8c per kWh.

      • +1

        Where do you get a off-peak rate of 8c?

        • +13

          Multiple retailers offer ~8c/kWh off-peak on their EV specific plans - some examples here

        • +5

          Plenty, some also have 2-3hr FREE windows.
          Get a battery and charge the home battery during the discount windows.
          No guarantee these plans last, but I am enjoying them,

          • @UltimateAI: Also interested in this topic ,don’t u need to have solar in order to get a battery installed? And what sort of battery did u installed and enjoyed?

            • @Cheryhello: Essentially yes for the government rebate.
              I have a small solar (6kw), went for a 52kwh battery with 10w three phase inverter (can handle dc inputs much larger with eps on essential circuits for $7.9k

              Cheaper ofcourse for a smaller inverter or single phase.

      • +1

        I had a hard time selling my voucher for $400. It took two months. So I wouldn't value it any higher than that.

  • +27

    Offer is not available to fleet, novated lease, government or rental buyers.

    Isn't this practically all EV buyers at the moment? 😄

    • +1

      yes and for most car makes the NL providers have a pre-negotiated discount e.g. 2-4% so you get that instead.

    • Probably, I wasn't though

    • +1

      At this price point I doubt lol, novated lease is much more common with those who are buying more premium priced EVs rather than a $42k EV

      • +1

        Why would it make a difference? Or to put it a different way, if you were already looking to buy an EV like this, why wouldn't you NV it? There are very few scenarios where it doesn't make sense (Assuming your employer allows it) if you're going to buy the car anyway.

  • +5

    HODL

    • +3

      As I posted elsewhere. People said that last year. 2025 the flood of cheap Chinese EVs was coming. Now people are saying HODL for 2026…

      • +4

        The Chinese model refresh cycle seems to be around 2 years, maybe 3, which is a LOT shorter than traditional OEMs. Combine that with AU typically only getting the new models 9-12 months after they're announced, a lot of people are perpetually waiting for the next big thing I think.

        • +5

          Yeah EVs are basically like mobile phone/graphics cards tech with losers wanting the most up to date features and saying crap like 'HODL' or 'waiting for X in the thing'

          (I'm one such loser).

          • @eddyah: lol well done

          • @eddyah: What you waiting for, loser?

            • +1

              @BlueJay87: More money - I can't afford to upgrade after all that depreciation from a 2022 model y purchase.

              Hence what i mean by LOSER (money sense, winner in life in general).

  • +4

    best valued EV suv in my opinion. but i still go for the Zeekr 7x

    • +1

      Did you? Or you will? Or cheering from the sidelines?

    • -1

      The 7X is probably the best, affordable Chinese EV out there right now.

    • +3

      My parents bought an ex5 inspire. I love it, but we pre-ordered a 7x and are anxiously waiting. We've needed a new car for like 2 years, and finally settled on the 7x.

      • I've not seen anything but excellent reviews.

        • There's a few perks it's missing compared to the 7x, but they're not huge deals, I think for the cash, it's such a good deal.

    • +1

      What did you not like about it?

      • +4

        The price.

      • -4

        Sales guy didn't know kWh, battery composition or any of the internal details like the airconditioning doesnt work. Neg all you like, buy it and grovel in your sleep about your purchase

        • +7

          Sooo you review a car based on what the sales guy knows? REALLY?

            • +4

              @sunnyc: What a whiny little karen. Seriously is it that hard to say what is wrong with the car rather acting like a complete tosser.

              • @gromit: I did say what’s wrong, it hardly matters what I say. They will ignore it regardless and justify their purchase.
                There’s a market for people who buy things just for the price or the specs.

                • @sunnyc: where did you say whats wrong? The only thing you said was the sales guy didn't know any details and it had an air con that didn't work. maybe I am just not looking in the right spot, where did you provide the details about the issues except from those 2 very minor points? FYI I am not a fan of Geely or have any intention to buy, but I like many like to be informed if their is a good reason to avoid them.

                  • +1

                    @gromit: The surround cameras don’t work properly
                    Air conditioning doesn’t work
                    Makes a weird noise consistently whilst driving.
                    Battery is tiny
                    Their screen doesn’t do much of anything
                    Big middle console with no purpose

                    • @sunnyc: Thankyou, that was really all anyone was after and yes those issues are a fair enough reason to discount it.

            • -1

              @sunnyc: Agreed. It's cheap and nasty. Sat in one at the EV show. Underwhelming. Same with Leapmotor
              These cheap Chinese brands will plummet in value in no time and probably won't be around in a few years

              • @Lt Frank Drebin: genuinely curious because I'm in the market for a new car. What other car in the under $50k budget feels nicer?

                • @kazer: You can get a pretty nice, near-new Model Y for $50k….let somebody else take the early depreciation hit.

              • @Lt Frank Drebin: Weird. I sat it one at the car show (before the price was out) and it was the one I was most interested, in because of the interior. I agree that the Leapmotor felt cheap.

      Fcking fantastic comment. Round of applause. Standing ovation for the most useful comment. You really outlined your thoughts. Thanks for such an informative comment. /s

      • I eat cornflakes for breakfast most days

  • Does anyone know how this works: Public Charging Credit (1,000 kWh, 12-month validity)?

    Does it start counting the 12-months from when you activate the code/account?

    • +3

      Once you activate the voucher in the Evie app, the 12 month begins at that point.

      • does the voucher itself expire if you don't activate it in time?

        • +1

          Expires in 6 months after issue

          • @beesider: oh dear lol i think mine from the first round would be expiring soon. been trying to sell it as i just charge at home.

            • +2

              @xrailgun: I sold mine for $400 on FB marketplace. It took 2 months to find a buyer. That buyer is keen to buy more if you're interested…

              • @beesider: Might be a silly question but how did you finalise the transaction?

                I was thinking either side could potentially screw over the other (e.g. Seller demands payment before sending the code or buyee demands code before sending payment) so decided to just use ours instead…

                • +1

                  @danzha: I sold my whole Evie account with the activated voucher as I also activated the voucher beforehand as after having waited for 2 months I lost hope anyone would buy it. I sent the credentials for the account after receiving the payment. Yeah, someone could take the money and not send the credentials or the voucher code, but I guess then the buyer could try claiming it from the bank. It's not an eBay transaction, so there's a bit of a risk. But it's $400 only…

                  • @beesider: Good to know thanks, I've been burnt one too many times on marketplace so was very wary.

                    But glad it worked out for you and others who don't have any Evie locations nearby :)

            • @xrailgun: I am keen to purchase if you still have it on sale.

      To be absolutely honest, public charging is a gigantic waste of time. You'd have to twiddle your thumbs for hours while it does it's thing to later find out that the charger cable didn't work!

      • +1

        You'd have to twiddle your thumbs for hours

        Nobody is sitting at a public charger for "hours." Most public charging sessions are less than 30 minutes duration - enough to add >250km of range. Public charging networks typically aim for a distance of about 150-200km between chargers.

        The exception is "destination chargers" provided for the patrons of hotels, camping grounds etc. These are relatively cheap to install, and are more like a home charger - the user would typically plug in to charge overnight while sleeping.

        to later find out that the charger cable didn't work

        You know almost immediately after plugging in if the charger isn't working. There are typically status indicator lights on the car next to the port, plus a readout on the car's screen and usually on the charger itself.

        And if that wasn't enough, most EVs will have a phone app that provides real-time info on charging status and will alert you if the charging process stops unexpectedly.

        • It would add up to be hours and hours with the amount of credit that you get with this deal. I was just indicating that it's a big time waster for people who value their time. Even 30 minutes would be 27 more minutes that what you really need in a toilet stop so that the second driver can take over.

          • @Naigrabzo:

            It would add up to be hours and hours with the amount of credit that you get with this deal.

            Sure, if you went out of your way to get the most from the deal, and use it all up with public charging.

            It's supposed to look like a fantastic deal - 1000kWh sounds like an enormous amount and therefore highly valuable. And it would genuinely be enough to cover ~6000km of driving, if you tried to maximise its value.

            But in truth, they're banking on the fact that almost everyone charges at home nearly all of the time, so the majority of buyers will never use anywhere near the full value of the voucher before it expires.

            • @klaw81: yeah, so what you are saying is that the voucher is kinda fake and banks on you not using it?

          • +1

            @Naigrabzo: As someone who has used about half of the voucher, yes it's a lot of cumulative time charging but almost all of the time I'm doing shopping 30 min of shopping at Coles or the DFO while the car charges from 20% to near full.

            In fact, sometimes I get a notification that the charging session has finished before I'm done shopping so I run back to my car to move it out of the bay.

            Once I've exhausted the voucher though I plan to exclusively charge at home overnight or using solar during the day, so no dead time there.

            • @danzha: That's a great point - there are Evie chargers right outside both my local Aldi and Woolworths. It's a great way to make the most of free credit, even if you're not typically a public charger user.

              • @klaw81: I would agree. But you'd need to shop at Aldi or Woolworths.

            • @danzha: yeah nah. I am not running back to car to remove it from charge. Sounds like ones whole life is centred around charging a car. :) Each to their own though. ALWAYS be charging my man. ABC.

              Also you are saying 20% - 100% is only 30 minutes? That would defy physics but I will take your word for it.

  • +8

    I bought one when they launched a few months ago. I only got the 1000 kWh voucher and wall charger. No charging cable. This offer is even better. The car is very good value for the money. I love the car.

    • +3

      Also got in on the end of April 2025 launch offer - still working my way through the 1,000kWh Evie Networks credit so haven't bothered installing the 7kW EVSE yet :P

      This deal is great value but it's a shame novated leases are excluded.

        You missed the part that they will track everywhere you go. Next step will Beto limit where you can go.

        • It's ok. I will just borrow your tin foil hat.

        • Ok grandpa, time to go back to bed. You can yell at more clouds later.

    • +1

      Will be cheaper than the tax I pay on fuel

      • -8

        You missed the part that they will track everywhere you go. Next step will be to limit where you can go

    • Most new cars these days track you to some extent, whether EV or not.

      It's expected that 93% of new cars will be connected by 2031, but I guess you can always just buy older cars without any smarts of in-built SIM card.

  • This or the MGS5 for RWD?

  • -5

    With depreciation/insurance etc I reckon you break even on Total cost of ownership of this one over say 10 years or so compared to any Toyota etc offering in the similar ish price range.

    Let the early adopters take a risk and swoop in later.

    • +5

      TCO would be heaps less for this car over a new Toyota. It isn't even close.

      • +2

        I’m not so sure about that. The depreciation of one of these compared to a Toyota is going to be pretty severe. I can’t imagine one of these being worth much in 5 years time.

        • +1

          You have no idea what the depreciation of a Toyota bought today will be over the next 10 years.

          Historical numbers don't project to 10 years in the future.

        • +8

          5 year old EVs are still worth decent money.

          I wish you were right though. Would love to pick up one of these mythical dirt cheap secondhand EVs.

    • I bought one of these and you cant really argue with the value, my last prado 2015 gxl, i lost 34k in depreciation over 5 years. This whole car cost me 45. My prado cost me about 200 to fill for roughly 1000- 1200 kms from memory. This car costs me $18 for 350kms charging at home, $5 on the night saver plan but havnt switched yet. So if i give this car away in 5 years it will still be cheaper than the prado. My insurance is also half the cost of the prado. Would i prefer a prado? Probably still yes haha. The geely has been an awesome car so far though. Its more zippy and fun than my old prado.

      • +1

        Mate you can definitely compare a PRADO with this car. But it's like comparing an apple to my big toe which has gout. One can do it but makes no sense.

        One comment would be that if you are happy with EX5 perhaps you never needed a PRADO.

  • 430 km range 😐

    • +1

      it's actually 362 range when "dynamic" is chosen

    • Real world the Inspire is about 362km, but hills, headwinds, the cold and other things can reduce that figure, so it's probably something EV sellers should explain a bit better in my view. But the range really depends on your driving distances, but for city and occasional 200km round trips on the freeways it's been great. Apprently a Geely has a car due that is a hybrid that gets 80km on electric and totals out to a range of about 900kms, which I think will appeal more to the Australian market who still has a bit of range concern.

      • +1

        Yes heard about this.

        Also, there are a lot of hybrids advertising their range. Since when did we bother about range of a vehicle fitted with an ICE? (Whether or not there is an electric motor attached to it). Just didn't look like a valid advertising point for me. Don't know what others feel. I might be missing a point.

        Obviously, range anxiety was something that crept into EV buyers minds because of charging infrastructure deficiencies, applying that to something which existed for decades and no one even cared about seems a little misleading.

        I remember a version of Toyota Land cruiser which used to swap out the spare tire on the rear for extra fuel capacity and if I am correct, it had a fuel capacity of around 130 litres… Imagine the range that would have!

        I have a 10 yr old Passat with a 70 litre fuel tank…. We drove from Sydney to Melbourne and got just above 1100km out of one tank fill.

        I don't know, but in my mind when someone advertises range in a vehicle with an engine, I find it funny.

    Does this needs regular service? Not like Tesla which no regular service is required?
