Home-charging reality

What the kW number means overnight.

Standard power point · 10 hours: About 126 km added
7 kW single-phase · 10–80%: About 6.7 hours
11 kW three-phase · 10–80%: About 4.2 hours
DC fast charge · 10–80%: Comparable time not verified
AC cable included: Confirm with the seller for this exact variant
Home charger allowance: Plan roughly $1,500–$3,000 installed, then obtain a site-specific quote

These are planning estimates using a 10-hour overnight window and charging losses. Switchboard work, cable length, phase supply and controlled-load arrangements can change installation cost.

Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

430 km WLTP range
11 kW AC charging
60 kWh LFP battery

Trim guidance: Premium provides the full 60 kWh battery and 430 km WLTP range at the advertised entry price. Confirm whether Luxury equipment is worth the extra cost once its current drive-away price is quoted.

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Problems, recalls and evidence

Known - and not known.

Official 24-minute charge claim covers 30–80%, not 10–80%
Very new Australian sales and service network
Long-term parts timing remains insufficiently evidenced

Long-term faults and parts waiting timesinsufficient data

Affected vehicles: Australian-delivered vehicles; exact variant and model-year coverage is not established
Severity: information
Australian relevance: Insufficient verified Australian data
Status: No model-level conclusion drawn
Owner action: Check the VIN with the manufacturer and the Australian Government recalls database before purchase
Last verified: 2026-07-30

Open evidence source ↗

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
