The New Vehicle Efficiency Standards (NVES) was formally passed into law this week in Federal Parliament, which officially starts the clock for car brands to cut emissions or exit the Australian market.
Australia’s long-awaited emission laws are set to launch a flurry of adorable cuteness on our roads with Mitsubishi quickly moving to bring the tiny eK X “kei” car to Australia - which would become both our smallest and cheapest EV, at a price of $30,000 to $35,000 - to help it lower its overall CO2 burden.
The incoming Nissan Patrol could spawn a Mitsubishi Pajero twin, allowing the two brands to double-down on the off-road SUV space as they take on the might of Toyota, according to new reports.
A game-changing electric vehicle is now firming for Australia, with Mitsubishi understood to be a contender for the title of Australia's cheapest EV with its potential new offering.
