MG offers $1,000 cashback on MGS6 electric SUV for purchases before the end of the year
By Eve
MG has introduced a $1,000 cashback offer on the MGS6, its largest electric SUV, for purchases made before the end of this year. The entry Essence RWD drops from $49,990 to $48,990 driveaway, and the top-spec Essence AWD is reduced to $55,990. Both variants use a 77 kWh NMC battery developed by SAIC Motor and CATL, with 530 km of range on the RWD and 485 km on the AWD, and charging at up to 144 kW on a 150 kW DC charger gives 10% to 80% in 38 minutes.
Why it matters
A price cut on a mid-size EV with a 144 kW peak charge rate points to growing demand for DC sessions at around 150 kW in Australia. CPOs and site funders should note that the 38 minute 10% to 80% time is a useful benchmark for dwell time and charger power planning.

MG launches limited-edition MG4 EV Urban Special Edition in Australia from $33,990 drive-away
MG Motor Australia has announced an MG4 EV Urban Special Edition limited to 750 vehicles, priced from $33,990 drive-away including a $2,000 cashback offer. That is a $1,000 premium over the standard Essence 54 variant. The changes are cosmetic only, with a black-painted roof, black mirrors, door panel ambient lighting and a new Ice Blue metallic colour alongside Diamond Red, while the powertrain, battery and equipment match the Essence 54.
Why it matters
Entry-level EV pricing in Australia is staying competitive, with the same battery and powertrain sold at a small premium, which supports continued growth in affordable EV uptake and charging demand. Fleet buyers and CPOs planning for new private EV registrations should note that this is a limited run of 750 units, not a change in underlying vehicle capability.
Volvo opens UK orders for XC90 T8 Long Range PHEV at £75,765
Volvo has opened UK orders for the XC90 T8 Long Range Plug-in Hybrid at £75,765, positioned above the £66,270 B5 Mild Hybrid. It offers 101 miles of electric range, more than double the previous T8 PHEV, from a 41kWh battery paired with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 461PS. Total range is 1,096 miles, the official rating is 941.6mpg, and 0 to 62mph takes 5.2 seconds.
Why it matters
A 41kWh battery and 101 miles of electric range could shift more PHEV driver journeys onto electric running, which matters for workplace and home charging demand and for fleet charging policy. Buyers and CPOs weighing PHEV uptake in premium fleets should note the larger battery when planning charger provision.
Mercedes-Benz adds 310 kW all-wheel-drive VLE 400 4MATIC to its electric luxury van range
Mercedes-Benz is expanding the configuration options for its all-electric VLE Grand Limousine, with a new VLE 400 4MATIC, extra equipment packages and more affordable entry-level versions. The dual-motor 4MATIC produces a combined 310 kW, uses a battery with 115 kWh of usable capacity and offers a WLTP range of up to 654 km (406 miles). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, and the van can be configured with up to eight seats.
Why it matters
A large premium electric van with a 115 kWh battery and over 650 km of WLTP range adds to the pool of high-capacity vehicles that chauffeur, shuttle and family users will bring to charging sites. Operators planning hubs and fleet depots should consider how bigger batteries and multi-seat vehicles shape bay size, dwell time and power needs.
