Plug-in hybrids in Australia

Quick answer

There are 35 plug-in hybrids on sale in Australia (November 2026).

All 35 plug-in hybrids, cheapest first

Each car's cheapest version. Running costs assume you charge at home and do most short trips on electricity (250 km a week).

Right: 5-year cost to own (price with on-road costs, home charger for EVs, charging or fuel, servicing and tyres), then the weekly running cost. 250 km a week in NSW.

Plug-in hybrids and novated leases

From 1 April 2025, plug-in hybrids stopped counting as zero or low emissions cars for the fringe benefits tax exemption. A lease only keeps the exemption if the car was already in use before that date under a binding commitment, and changing the lease's payments or residual value, or taking up an optional extension, ends it. Fully electric cars under the luxury car tax threshold still qualify: see FBT-exempt electric cars.

Common questions

What is the cheapest plug-in hybrid in Australia?

The BYD Atto 2 DM-i Essential at $24,990 + on-roads (November 2026).

Which plug-in hybrid has the longest electric range?

The Xpeng L03 Power-X Long Range, with a claimed 215 km on electricity. Real-world range is usually about 20% less.

Are plug-in hybrids FBT exempt?

Not any more for new leases. From 1 April 2025 plug-in hybrids lost the FBT exemption, unless the car was already in use under a binding lease commitment made before then. Fully electric cars under the luxury car tax threshold still qualify.

Is a plug-in hybrid worth it?

If you can charge at home and most of your driving is short trips, yes: you'll run mostly on cheap electricity. If you rarely plug in, a regular hybrid usually costs less to buy and uses less fuel.

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.
