Well you’re in luck, my friend, for not only are we getting the Ford Ranger and BYD Shark utes in PHEV form in a couple of months, GWM has locked in a plug-in version of its Cannon Alpha pickup for Australia, complete with 110km of EV range.

A spin-off from the petrol-powered X1, the newly arrived iX1 compact SUV is undoubtedly proof of that. The iX1’s pricing means it just scrapes in under the luxury car tax threshold, but you can forget about state-based rebates or the federal FBT exemption.
