AutoExec Summary
GWM has cut the price of its Ora battery electric small car by $4000, bringing it under $40,000 to compete with other Chinese electric vehicles. The BYD Dolphin and MG4 Excite 51 are also in this price range, exciting news for Australian EV buyers who were previously looking at models closer to $50,000. GWM’s Ora is now on sale, while the MG4 will be available in August and the Dolphin in October. The price cuts were made possible by a recent fall in battery raw material costs. Hyundai has hinted at launching an electric SUV in Australia in 2024, but it will likely be in the $40,000-$50,000 range.
