Many in Australia likely hadn’t heard of DEEPAL six months ago, but now the S07 spec sheet is showing why this new EV SUV can be a great choice as a family car for Australians.
Whether you’re winding through the hills, cruising to the coast, or navigating the familiar rhythm of the school run, the DEEPAL S07 has a natural way of making each kilometre feel smoother, quieter, and more enjoyable than you expect from a mid-size all electric SUV.
Why pick an EV as an Aussie Family?
Electric vehicle chatter tends to orbit around the same old talking points in Australia. Much of that is because for many people, EVs represent a new breed of car they have maybe never driven or even considered.
And because it’s riding on a proper rear-wheel-drive EV platform, with a 79.97 kWh battery, the S07 feels planted and sure-footed even on winding rural roads. There’s a quiet confidence to it, like it knows the long way home is usually the better way anyway.
As a family, SUVs are often the go-to vehicle choice. So if you’re considering an SUV, here’s a quick look at what you can expect from the S07 electric SUV.
- Big-car practicality minus the price.
- Driving Range lands at a healthy 475 km WLTP . This is enough for a Sydney to Canberra loop on a single charge* .
- A federal FBT break still applies below the $91k cap
- DEEPAL's 7-year / 160 000 km vehicle warranty* and an 8-year / 240 000 km battery warranty** take a lot of edge off first-time-EV nerves!
Family friendly Numbers & Specs
For its footprint, the S07 hides a surprising amount of everyday usefulness. It’s the sort of car that swallows a pram, bags, scooters, and still has room.

Running Costs***
Electric cars shine in the long run, and the S07’s numbers are refreshingly simple.
- Electricity : 18 kWh/100 km = $756 (28 kWh off-peak).
- Servicing : published schedule averages $277 per year .
- Five-year tally : about $5.2k vs $8.3k for a comparable petrol SUV.
This is an indicative number, but the above shows three grand banked. That could be a new kids bikes or an extra holiday.

Charging at Home Vs Driving
Charging the S07 is quick and easy. At home, you can plug the S07 into your wall unit and enjoy a full charge overnight with 11 kW AC (roughly 8 hours) or a slower 7 kW setup that finishes in about 11 hours.^^
When you are out and about, public DC charging up to 92 kW makes quick work of long drives, bringing the battery from 30% to 80% in around 35 minutes.
- Wall-box install : $1.8k ballpark, 7 kW = full overnight.
- Road-trip pit stop : most NRMA / Chargefox sites now offer 90 kW+, so you’ll hit 80% charge quickly.
- Adjustable energy-recuperation modes help with battery regen while driving
