The wait is over.
A fully electric ute is finally here and it qualifies for the Electric Car Discount.
As of 1 December, the KGM Musso EV is on sale in Australia. Drivers have been waiting for an electric ute that can two, carry real loads and stay eligible for tax savings. Starting from $60,000 before on road costs, it has arrived at the right time.
Why It Matters
Electric cars have surged, but electric utes have been almost impossible to find. Tradies, weekend adventurers and commuters all want lower running costs and sustainability but still need practicality. Until now, there wasn't a fully electric ute in the right price range.
The Musso EV fills that gap. It brings real towing ability, useful payload, long range and modern tech into a segment that has been waiting a long time for a true EV option.
Built for Everyday Use
The Musso EV combines a rugged ute stance with a clean EV front end featuring LED lighting and a sculptured bonnet. The tub is practical with a liner, eight tie down points, corner steps and lighting for loading after dark.
Inside, it feels more like an SUV. Two 12.3 inch displays power the Athena 2.0 system, with heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting and generous rear passenger space.

The 80.6 kWh battery supports two variants.
2WD
