Αυτό είναι το πρώτο Αυστραλέζικο ηλεκτρικό αυτοκίνητο. Το όνομα του evR450 και έχει αναπτυχθεί από την Varley Electric Vehicles. Mηχανικά φορά δύο ηλεκτροκινητήρες της Ultramotive που ο κάθε ένας ζυγίζει 40 κιλά και αποδίδει μέγιστα 150 kW (204 άλογα) με 522 Nm ροπής ενώ συνεχόμενα παράγουν 58 kW (79 άλογα) με 122 Nm.
Τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα τα κάνει σε 3.8 δευτ. με την τελική ταχύτητα να περιορίζεται ηλεκτρονικά στα 200 χλμ/ώρα. Έχει αυτονομία 150 χλμ, θα κυκλοφορήσει τον Ιανουάριο του 2012 και θα κοστίζει 200.000 δολάρια Αυστραλίας (151.000 ευρώ). Αν τα 150 χλμ αυτονομία σου φαίνονται λίγα, τότε η Varley μπορεί να σου προσφέρει και ένα πακέτο που διπλασιάζει την αυτονομία στα 300 χλμ.
