Electric cars have seen their sales tripling with 6718 vehicles sold across Australia in 2019 and experts* forecasting a global sales growth from 2.5 million in 2020 to 11.2 million in 2025.
As a result, automakers are investing heavily in their electric-only models and Australia is set to see a rapid increase in the choices and availability of battery electric vehicles.
In this context, where several carmakers including Tesla, Porsche, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Audi and more have started selling battery-electric models, lands Australia’s first online showroom for electric vehicles: EV Mojo.
“The range of new electric cars available in Australia is on the rise, but I felt like it lacked a place where someone could go and see all the available models, presented in an unbiased format that provided specifications relevant to electric cars only.” explains Daniel Calo, Founder of EV Mojo.
The concept is dead simple: EV Mojo provides Australians with clear access to all the accurate information they need about EVs, to help them decide on a model that best suits their needs.“Initially this would have been as simple as going to either Nissan or Tesla’s website, however, the competition is now heating up and we see an increasing offer of BEV’s (battery electric vehicles) on the market. Some of these even out-perform Tesla in certain areas and this competition will benefit customers in the longer term,” says Daniel Calo.
When we rate an electric car we only compare it with other electric cars, not their ICE variants. This way consumers have a clear view of how well each manufacturer is innovating their electric models.
On top of that, the information provided by either the manufacturers or car marketplaces are often found to be incorrect or misleading or, for several reasons.
- They can feature erroneous car technical descriptions, presenting the U.S. or European market specs rather than being AU specific and therefore misleading consumers.
- The EV specific specifications can be missed altogether.
- Car review websites tend to favour and be biased towards ICE vehicles and therefore do not objectively review and present EVs fairly.
- Review sites can also ‘halo’ electric cars and overrate them, which can make EVs with poor specs look favourable.
- Manufacturers often tend to overrate their battery range.
EV Mojo includes a bunch of unique features, designed for anyone who has an interest in electric cars, whether they are in the market or simply researching the available models, EV specifications or drive away price.
