Australia's most affordable electric vehicle is here. The best part? It doesn't drive like a science experiment.
While battery tech remains expensive, the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq range of hybrid, plug-in hybrid EV and full EV models won't win any 'best budget buy' awards, but there is good value here nonetheless.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is poised to switch to electric power for her ministerial car, from a BMW 7 Series diesel to an Audi e-Tron. While the NZ government is about to take delivery of three Audi e-Trons for high-ranking politicians and VIP guests, two are expected to be based in the capital Wellington (in the far south of the North Island) – and at least one example is planned to be assigned to Auckland (650km away, in the far north) at Ms Ardern’s home alongside her personal vehicle, a Hyundai Ioniq electric car...
