About the solar figure: it's an average. Cloudy days, winter and charging at night all mean more power from the grid, so your real cost will vary through the year.

What do "on the road" and "cost to own" mean?
Before on-road costs (+ on-roads): the car's list price only. You pay extra government charges and dealer fees on top when you buy.
On-road costs: stamp duty, first year's registration, compulsory third party (CTP) insurance, number plates and the dealer's delivery fee. They usually add $3,000–6,000 depending on the car and your state. Where a price is "before on-roads" we add about $4,000. See stamp duty and rego by state.
Drive-away: a price that already includes the on-road costs, so it's what you actually pay to drive the car home.
On the road price: the drive-away price, or the list price plus our on-road estimate.
Cost to own: everything you'd spend over the years you keep the car (5 unless you change it): the on the road price, plus a home wall charger for EVs (about $2,000, one-off), plus charging or fuel, scheduled servicing and tyres for every year. Divide it by the number of weeks to see what the car really costs you each week.
Match score (Pick my car): this is about fit, not quality. Each car that fits your answers is compared only with the other cars that fit, on eight things, and a car that does something less well than the others in that group scores lower on it, even if it's good at it. Change your budget or answers and the group changes, so the scores do too. The eight things: how much car the money buys (price, 20%), ANCAP safety rating (15%: a current rating counts in full, an expired one less, and a car ANCAP hasn't rated counts as middling), range (15%), performance (0–100 km/h, or power where no time is published, 10%), fast-charging speed (peak DC kW, 10%), warranty length (10%, with the battery warranty counted for cars that plug in), servicing and tyre costs (15%), and recalls and track record (5%: major recalls in Australia on our list count against a car (our recall list covers the bigger, well-reported ones, so a clean record here is not a guarantee), and models sold here for longer get a little credit). A figure we don't have counts as middling, not as bad. "Most car for my budget" ranks by this match score; "Lowest cost to own" ranks by cost and uses the score only to split near-ties.
Not included: yearly rego renewals and insurance after the first year (see what EVs and hybrids cost to insure), finance interest, and what the car is worth when you sell it. These vary too much by person and car to estimate fairly, and resale value is the biggest unknown, especially for newer brands.
Insurance: about $2,135 a year for comprehensive cover on the Xpeng G6 Standard Range, in Compare the Market's March 2026 survey for one example driver in Brisbane. Yours will differ, so get quotes before you buy. EV and hybrid insurance guide.

Savings on the G6
Novated lease: qualifies. Every version is under the $91,661 limit, so it's free of fringe benefits tax, and under $75,000, so it keeps the full exemption under the changes proposed from April 2027.
See your lease saving on the G6 ›
Rebates: no state offers a purchase rebate on new EVs in 2026. Where an EV still costs less to put on the road:
- Queensland: 2% stamp duty on EVs up to $100,000 instead of 3% for a typical petrol car, about $520 less on the cheapest G6.
- NT: free rego for EVs until 30 June 2027.
- ACT: cheaper emissions-based rego for zero-emission cars.
Everywhere else you pay the same stamp duty and rego as a petrol car. Rules change often, so check with your state before you buy: stamp duty and rego by state · how the lease tax break works.
Reliability and track record
How we rate: under 2 years on sale here is "Too new to tell". A widely reported fault or repeated recalls is "Known issues". Otherwise it's "Established". We list documented problems with a source, not opinions. Single recalls that were fixed are listed but don't change the rating, as most models have some.
The Xpeng G6 has been on sale here for 2 years and our checks so far haven't turned up any widely reported faults. Like every car, it may still have had recalls, so check the official list.

Cables and extrasCharging speeds, cables and handy gear
What to buy for the G6
- Home wall charger
- On normal single-phase home power it charges at up to 7.2 kW, so a 7 kW single-phase wall charger is all it can use. On three-phase power it can take up to 11 kW; that's only worth paying for if your home already has three-phase power.
- Portable charger
- Ask the dealer whether one comes with the car, as it varies by brand, dealer and model year. If not, a 10 A portable charger that plugs into a normal power point is a handy backup. Portable chargers worth buying ›
- Cables
- Type 2 plug for home and public AC charging, and CCS2 for fast chargers (the fast-charger cable is attached to the charger). A Type 2 to Type 2 cable lets you use 'bring your own cable' chargers at shopping centres, hotels and caravan parks. Type 2 cables worth buying ›
- Power things from the car (V2L)
- Yes. Up to 3.3 kW on earlier cars and 6 kW on the 2026 update.
