The 2026 KGM Musso EV brings an unusual proposition to Australia: a fully electric dual-cab ute from $60,000 drive-away. It is a battery-electric vehicle, not a plug-in hybrid, and it is designed more as a comfortable lifestyle dual-cab than a traditional heavy-duty, ladder-frame work ute. With a large LFP battery, available all-wheel drive and vehicle-to-load power, it gives buyers a new way to combine zero-tailpipe-emission driving with a useful tray.
2026 KGM Musso EV Price in Australia
KGM offers three Musso EV variants. The entry 2WD and Black Edge are front-wheel drive, while the range-topping AWD adds a second electric motor. All published prices are drive-away, which makes the Musso EV the most affordable electric dual-cab ute currently on sale in Australia.
| Variant | Drive | Drive-away price |
|---|---|---|
| Musso EV | Front-wheel drive | $60,000 |
| Musso EV Black Edge | Front-wheel drive | $62,000 |
| Musso EV AWD | Dual-motor all-wheel drive | $64,000 |
The Black Edge is the appearance-led option, adding black exterior accents, black alloy wheels and leather-and-suede trim. The core equipment list across the range includes LED lighting, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats and a durable tub liner.
Battery, Range and Charging
Every Musso EV uses an 80.6kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. The front-wheel-drive models have a 420km WLTP range claim, while the heavier dual-motor AWD is rated at 380km WLTP. Actual range depends on load, speed, weather, terrain, tyres, air-conditioning and driving style, and a loaded tray or trailer will have a noticeable effect.
| Specification | 2WD | AWD |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 80.6kWh LFP | 80.6kWh LFP |
| Power / torque | 152kW / 339Nm | 266kW / 630Nm |
| WLTP range | 420km | 380km |
| Maximum DC charging | 300kW | 300kW |
| Official DC 10–80 per cent time | Approx. 36–46 minutes | Approx. 36–46 minutes |
On an appropriate high-power DC charger, KGM quotes an approximate 36–46-minute 10–80 per cent charge. At home, the onboard 10.5kW AC charger is better suited to overnight charging. Availability and power output vary across public sites, so evee’s guide to the Australian EV charging network is useful reading before planning longer regional trips.
Power, Payload and Everyday Ute Use
The front-drive Musso EV makes 152kW and 339Nm. The AWD adds a rear motor for a combined 266kW and 630Nm, giving it stronger on-road response and extra traction. Its car-like monocoque construction and self-levelling rear suspension are intended to prioritise ride comfort and everyday usability over the rugged off-road character of a conventional ladder-frame dual-cab.
Payload is up to 905kg in the 2WD, and 805kg in the AWD. KGM promotes towing of up to 2.3 tonnes, but towing limits and towing equipment should always be confirmed for the exact variant with a KGM dealer before purchase. The tray is 1,345mm long, 1,515mm wide and 510mm deep, and includes a liner, lighting and bumper-corner steps.
A useful electric-specific feature is vehicle-to-load capability. With the external V2L connection, the Musso EV can supply power to compatible appliances and equipment. That is potentially valuable for camping, events, worksites and emergency home use, provided the power demand stays within the vehicle’s supported limits.
Cabin, Safety and Ownership
Inside, the Musso EV is far more modern than the diesel Musso it sits alongside. Its two 12.3-inch screens, floating centre console, ambient lighting and broad front seats give it an SUV-like atmosphere. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, while the cabin also has a wireless phone charger, heated steering wheel and 360-degree camera.
Safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assistance, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera and eight airbags. At publication, the Musso EV had not received an ANCAP safety rating. KGM provides a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-kilometre battery warranty.
The Musso EV is best suited to buyers who want a quiet, comfortable, battery-electric dual-cab for family life, camping, regular commuting and moderate load duties.
