My Family purchased the Ora Good Cat in Thailand home being in Bangkok. It was great to drive but range anxiety was biggest concern with charging stations and not to mention capacity of them in AMPs with regional travel. Home charging was suitable without concern for metro commute in Bangkok. I hope structure of charging network for Australia can support after sales of EV charging fast in both metro and regional. Overall this care is great and only negative is linear exhilaration with form of ABS causing tyre screeching noise like in the movies when you put your foot down. The ORA Good Cat from Thailand is great and wonder why they not call it Good Cat in the AU.

@@John-yx6yz it wasn’t the sleepy detection. That sensor performs 2 functions. Sleepy/drowsy and eyes off the road (attention). I never had the sleepy detection but it was insistent if I looked at the speedo or centre console to change the aircon for example. It would tell me to keep my eyes on the road. I turned that off - and left the sleepy detection on.

Can it be charged overnight by plugging it into regular wall sockets at home, or do you have to visit a charging station?

@Drivecomau 6 дней назад

You can plug it into a regular wall socket with the provided cable. If you have a 10 Amps socket it would take around 22-23 hours for a full charge for the Standard Range battery, and 29-30 hours for the Extended range models. If you have a 16 Amp power outlet, that drops to around 14 hours and 18.5 hours respectively. Of course rather than wait until the car is completely flat, topping up overnight means for a regular commute you should be easily able to use a regular power socket.

It looks like right-hand drive vehicles (including those sent to the UK and Thailand) are a little slower to catch up and retain the console-mounted gear selector. The car we drove in this video was a pre-production vehicle so some features may be slightly different, although it looks like the gear selector won't change before deliveries begin.

The issue is still currently battery manufacturing constraint. As of the publication there is no BYD seagull with a sodium lithium hybrid battery. That will change by the end of 2023 . Spot prices for raw lithium carbonate are crashing now. This is going to sound surreal but once the battery input costs drop by 80% from what they are today, and the power density goes up from 160Wh per kg to 200 your cheap city car will come. Not before.

Only one trim level, just battery size and number of motors difference? What type of battery, LFP?

@jay-uo2bi Год назад

I may be incorrect (this is per wikipedia) but I believe the 47.8kwh battery is LFP but the bigger 59.1/63.1kwh battery is NMC.

@breadnewbie6326 Год назад

3 trims. 2 type of motors. LFP.

@Drivecomau Год назад

There will be two trim levels across three variants. Standard Range and Long Range will share the same equipment, plus there will be a GT version above that. In Australia all will share the same 126kW/250 motor, which is only a single motor, front-wheel drive set-up, there's no dual motor version of the Ora available. Overseas the Standard Range uses a 48 kWh lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery, whereas the Long Range and GT runs a 63 kWh lithium-ternary (NMC) battery. We've asked GWM Australia if battery chemistry will be the same here, but they were unable to confirm.

I drove a GWM Haval Jolion for 3 weeks. Nasty nasty car. Worst new car I’ve ever driven. The safety intervention aids were far too intrusive. You would indicate to leave the motorway and it would wrench you back on. Someone would be close behind and it would flash the hazard lights crazily. If you took your eyes off the road for a second to look at the instruments it would demand you pay attention. I turned off all the aids I could. Worst implementation of safety ever. Couldn’t live with that. Other manufacturers have done a much better job. Sounds like this Ora was interfering too much too.

You know what's the best safety feature of all BEING ABLE TO DRIVE PROPERLY to many ppl are relying on tech when just learn to drive properly ..I've been driving 30 years and I've NEVER needed a airbag or abs and I've spent STUPID amounts of time on the road as a roadside AA contractor as well monthly trips to Auckland and back ..I've had all the same cars for over 10 years ..bought a mpv turbo and it didn't last 5 years ..I've fixed it and it's got problems AGAIN yet my 1988 courier Ute never fails ....and it will outlast anything being made now ....these electric cars are a phase ...just think how much driving my 88 Ute will do with that 40k

@jerrymyahzcat Год назад

@@yodad4776 Not having airbags is just plain dumb. You could be in a crash where you are a perfect driver and someone slams into you totally out of your control. Airbags save lives and are a passive safety system. Same with ABS - it can pulse brake and control stability better than any human ever no matter how good you are. It’s only worse in gravel when you want the gravel to pile up in front of the wheels if you want to stop faster but even with ABS you can steer around things while maintaining control that you CAN’T do while skidding and piling up gravel in front of the wheels even if it takes longer to stop so there’s that. Also ABS not much use on ICE but can help. Believe me I’ve done 2 advanced driving courses using ABS - it’s a winner even if you can “drive properly”. But I 100% agree about being able to drive properly. Driving students are these days telling their instructors that they “don’t need to look in the mirrors or over their shoulder” as they have blind spot monitoring and they “don’t need to pay much attention” as the car has lane keeping or adaptive cruise or AEB. They will say “no worries I have a camera” etc too. Absolute rubbish. You need to be able to drive properly without ANY aids first and then sure some of these system are an added help. Lastly you are delusional if you believe older cars are in ANY way better than modern ones. They facts are out. Modern cars ARE far superior and safer.
