Australia’s electric vehicle market has reached an important milestone with the arrival of the 2026 KGM Musso EV. It is the first all-wheel-drive electric ute to be officially introduced in the country. Designed for both work and lifestyle users, the Musso EV brings electric power to a segment that has traditionally been dominated by diesel vehicles.
With competitive pricing, a practical driving range, and modern features, the Musso EV is expected to attract buyers looking for a capable yet eco-friendly utility vehicle.
KGM Musso EV
The KGM Musso EV is an electric version of the popular Musso pickup truck. Unlike traditional ladder-frame utes, this EV is built on a modern platform that focuses on comfort, efficiency, and everyday usability. It is aimed at users who want a utility vehicle for city use, outdoor activities, and light commercial work.
The Musso EV also supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology, allowing the battery to power external devices such as tools, camping equipment, or appliances.
