Cheap electric cars coming to Australia next year | Nick Tsagaris

Electric cars are set to become more affordable in 2022, when China’s Great Wall Motors brings its first battery-powered machines to Australia.

A report published by GWM Global outlines the brand’s plans for the new year, when “the first electric model will soon be revealed in Australia”.

“In 2022, the first batch of electric models will be launched in Australia, including the pure electric brand Ora, the hybrid 3rd Gen Haval H6 and Haval Jolion”.

The electric machine offered by Ora could be the “Good Cat” hatchback, a compact front-wheel-drive machine set to undercut the likes of the Nissan Leaf with a sub-$40,000 asking price.

BYD’s EA1, or Dolphin, promises affordable electric motoring.

It could be joined by the BYD hatchback eyed by Australian importer Nexport as an affordable electric alternative to conventionally powered machines.

While BYD’s start in Australia has been slower than expected, GWM sales have increased by more than 250 per cent year-on-year thanks to its Cannon ute and SUVs such as the Haval Jolion.

GWM’s Tank 300 looks set to come to Australia.

The manufacturer also says its “domestically popular ‘Tank series’ will be officially launched in Australia next year”.

“In order to bring diversified choices to consumers, the fuel version and hybrid version of the TANK series will be launched at the same time,” it says.

Launch timing and local prices for the models have not been confirmed by the brand.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirms Charlie Cox Daredevil rumour

Ever since Netflix’s Marvel shows were canceled, fans have been clamoring to see Charlie Cox suit up again as Daredevil. Cox played The Man Without Fear in three seasons of his own series as well as The Defenders miniseries in the Netflix corner of the Marvel world. His portrayal is considered by many fans to be the definitive on-screen version of Matt Murdock. While the Netflix Marvel shows including Daredevil , Jessica Jones and The Punisher were technically part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in so far as they referenced incidents from the MCU movies, it only flowed one way. The MCU films never acknowledged the presence of its TV arm (at the time run through a separate and now-defunct studio division) so Cox’s Daredevil wasn’t MCU canon, per se. Now, the man who controls all the MCU strings, Kevin Feige, has confirmed that if there were to be a version of Daredevil in the MCU, Cox would be the one to play him. If Daredevil makes an MCU debut, it will be played by Charlie Co
