The typical car across 85 cars. A floor: we see a listing only from the week we first find it.
Australian used EV market · This week so far
Asking prices first, then what a year older and more kilometres cost, then the signs of how much room there is to negotiate. Every figure says how many listings stand behind it.
We published current prices for 139 of 164 cars this week so far, from 4,030 current used listings. Price movement is shown in completed weekly updates. Comparison between completed weeks: week ending 1 Nov 2026 and week ending 8 Nov 2026. This is not today's change.
Asking prices, not sale prices.
Provisional — figures are for this week so far and will be replaced by the completed weekly update.
FBT exemption begins phasing out from April 2027 The federal FBT exemption for EVs via novated lease narrows from 1 April 2027. EVs under $75,000 keep the full exemption until 2029. EVs between $75k and $91,387 drop to a 25% discount from April 2027. (Source: 2026 Federal Budget · announced 5 May 2026 · takes effect 1 Apr 2027.)
Only cars with 20 or more listings in both weeks. Comparison between completed weeks: week ending 1 Nov 2026 and week ending 8 Nov 2026. This is not today's change.

Holding value
Matched-listing price change: the change in asking price between the weeks ending 1 Nov 2026 and 8 Nov 2026, measured only on listings advertised in both weeks. The matched-listing change compares only listings advertised in both weeks. The change in the median advertised price also reflects listings that entered or left, so the two can differ. Cars with a last-known price are not included. The line beside each car is its typical asking price each week since August.
Cars by how far their typical listing has travelled, across the 85 cars with at least 8 odometer readings.
| Point | Cars |
|---|---|
| Under 5,000 km | 45 cars |
| 5,000 to 20,000 km | 17 cars |
| 20,000 to 50,000 km | 20 cars |
| 50,000 to 80,000 km | 2 cars |
| 80,000 km or more | 1 cars |
45 of 85 cars have a typical listing under 5,000 km: much of what is advertised as used is near-new dealer stock, priced close to new. The Tesla Model 3 (55,000 km), Tesla Model Y (45,000 km), Hyundai Kona Electric (21,000 km) are the most-listed of the genuinely used end.
Priced cars by their typical asking price, each counted once.
| Body type | Under $30k | $30k to $40k | $40k to $50k | $50k to $60k | $60k to $80k | $80k or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Ute and van | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
54 more priced cars are another body type, or have none recorded yet, so they are not in these four.

Price cuts
47%
of listings seen more than once have cut their price: 1,634 of 3,442, across 83 cars.
Dealer and private
Too few to compare
3,925 dealer and 68 private listings. A price gap needs at least 10 cars with enough of each.
Where the advert is, usually the dealer's yard. States with fewer than 30 listings show no share. Prices by state are not published yet.

| VIC | 948 | 25% | |

This weekly update
Percentages are of the 164 cars in our list and are rounded, so they may not add up to exactly 100%.
Each car is counted once; 56 duplicate names are counted under their car. 6 more cars show a last-known price from 6 older listings, counted separately.
The typical car is the median of model medians. Each model contributes one median advertised price, whatever its number of listings. This is not the median of every advertised car.
4,527 current listings under 500 km across 84 cars, counted apart from every used price. 3 cars have no current used price. Low mileage alone does not tell us whether a car is new, a demonstrator or used.
