Its launch Couture Edition, 999 cars for Europe and 999 for China, sold out within a few hours in China and in under two weeks in Europe. The regular Pure, Pure+ and Premium versions are still on order, from €19,990 in Europe, with first European deliveries due in mid-2027. The #2 is about 2.8 metres long, seats two, and has a 35.8 kWh LFP battery, a 60 kW rear motor and a targeted range of about 290 km WLTP. Right-hand-drive versions are planned for 2027.

How we work it out, and our sources

Weekly cost = the car's energy use × 250 km × your electricity or fuel price, with 90% of charging at home. Prices are list prices at November 2026; check with the dealer.

  • Electricity: 2026–27 default rates (AER, Victorian Default Offer, state retailers). Public charging: Sydney network prices, July 2026.
  • Petrol and diesel: capital-city daily averages from state government price feeds, via FuelRadar, 12 November 2026. Diesel for Hobart, Canberra and Darwin is estimated from the national fall.
  • Cars: maker figures via CarExpert, Drive, CarsGuide and EV Central. Plug-in electric range is taken as 80% of the claim.
  • Servicing: published capped prices; marked as an estimate where not yet published (CarExpert comparison).
  • Tyres: an EV set lasts about 35,000 km, a petrol or hybrid set 50,000 km (RACV); prices from Gridly.
  • Home charger: about $2,000 installed ($1,000–$3,000). Novated leases: PwC summary.
