Game-changing update for electric car
Jack Quick has proven himself as one of Australia's most prolific motoring journalists since starting in the industry in 2021. He joined the CarsGuide team in 2025 after spending four years at CarExpert in various roles. Growing up on a farm in rural Victoria, Jack has been driving cars since before he could see over the wheel. He also gained plenty of experience operating heavy machinery. In fact, he currently holds a Heavy Rigid license. On the farm, Jack spent a lot of time bush-bashing in his family’s 1992 Suzuki Sierra soft-top and 1985 Holden Drover ute. This fuelled his life-long obsession with cars and was a key reason he purchased a 2020 Suzuki Jimny. This Jimny is now living out its days on the family farm and Jack currently drives a 2025 Renault Duster. You can find Jack on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Game-changing update for electric Mustang: 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E gets power and range boost to fend off the Tesla Model Y, XPeng G6 and Zeekr 7X.
Ford has confirmed it will begin customer deliveries of the updated Mustang Mach-E electric SUV in October.
Three variants will continue to be offered – the Select, Premium and GT. Pricing is up by up to $1000, depending on the variant, with the line-up now starting from $65,990 before on-roads.
The Select has received a power boost and now produces 212kW and 525Nm (up from 198kW and 430Nm). The Premium, on the other hand, which is now powered by the same electric motor has taken a 4kW power cut.
The range-topping GT now has total system outputs of 434kW and 955Nm, which is up from 358kW and 860Nm.
The entry-level Select now has a slightly larger 73kWh battery pack, while the Premium has a slightly smaller 88kWh battery pack. The GT retains a 91kWh battery pack.
Despite this, WLTP claimed range is up across the line-up thanks to a standard heat pump. It’s now up to 600km in the Premium.
Charging times have also dropped in the Premium and GT with a 10 to 80 per cent charge now taking 36 minutes (previously 45 minutes) when hooked up to a 150kW DC fast-charger.
