Is the GWM Ora the best EV on the market? 

hi there Juliet, awesome video as per usual. . :) Just a thought....if your company vehicle was changed from ICE to EV of for tax relief for your company, and you were issued with an EV company vehicle, who would pay for the recharge at home???? ICE vehicle no problem as they issue you with a fuel card but at home if ESKOM is not loadshedding, who pays for the electricity?? would be interesting to hear how that situation would pan out,

Rad car, but if you wanted to take a roadtrip up the west coast or do the garden route, can you actually risk the fact that our country is nowhere near built for this ecosystem. Like a few peeps have mentioned, you’d likely need a proper solar home setup at a minimum just to use the car for local shuttling around to work, school, varsity, shops, and have a second Internal Combustion Car of sorts as a back up for longer trips. So at this stage, although the car is sweet, its more of an ‘extra add-on/luxury addition’ to your current car situation (if you’re lucky enough to have one). That in mind, comfortably over R1mill for your ICE car and your ORA. And even if you don’t have an ICE car, you’re still paying R300k for a solar setup. Numbers don’t work. At this stage cars of all shapes and sizes are pricing SA out of the market. And globally too I guess. Anyways. Rad video as always, by the raddest lady. Onward and upward

A decade is a long time juliet!

The ORA 3 is $12K usd in China, but freight is expensive for EV as it’s dangerous cargo.

Like to know how match a new 🔋 wil cost

How long does it take to charge from near empty?

I’m too tall, I legit can’t fit in them! I got to try it out and was so sad! That’s another cute car I can’t fit into 😖 You know what I can fit surprisingly well into though? The Fiat 500! It has amazing headroom and the seat goes down REALLY far!

They would sell hundreds in SA if it had a reasobale price tag.

GWM Ora is available in Europe, but right now, only in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Sweden and Bulgaria. Ora came to Bulgaria very recently; they already have the Haval cars and GWM P-Series, aka the Poer.

I just love this car! It's just awesome.

Let me know when you have one that can go 400 miles on one tank like my car does

I feel like the rear is not complete, the lights are below the boot lid. There’s nothing on the boot lid level and i feel people who are driving vehicles with higher ground clearance, wouldn’t know what the Ora infront of them is doing because there’s no lights to tell them what the desired direction 🤷‍♂️

review the Hyundai I20 please

so sad we dont have tesla yet - you would love it

Wait until LEAPMOTOR T03 is in SA. Even better looking than Ora, and likely to cost far less. BYD Dolphin arrived in SA for R539K. The Chinese EV war haven't even started yet...

Unless you have your own solar charging station at home...think twice. Eskom can't even run your lights half the time.

This is just way outpriced for SA and simply offering an electric vehicle in SA is madness unless you are well heeled enough to install a decent home charger. Eishkom cannot even keep a battery operated torch on, how are they expected to sort out the mess of a grid to charge EV's.

690K LMK!!! The middle class is slowly dissolving into the pauper realm.

I will rather buy the Volvo for a few grand more! This is the cheapest electric car over seas but not here.

R830k for a frog? 😂😂😂😢😢😢

Is this an electric car?

'Promo sm'

I wouldn't, like, pay, like, R300 000 for that, like ! What's the range, like ? 100km, like ?

REALITY CHECK: This "made-in-China" Ora Hello Kitty-thing, is R161 000 more expensive (entry level Ora) compared to a much more sensible car such as a Corolla 1.8 XS Hybrid hatchback, which is made to impeccable quality standards in Japan. The R160 000 you save on the Corolla's purchase price alone, can pay for 170 000km of "free petrol" on the Corolla. (At R24/L, and 4L/100km or 25km/L) Then the Ora Cool Cat EV-mobile's charging costs haven't even been factored in yet. (If not charged at home, its R30 to R80 per 100km of charging, depending on the charger rates) Perfomance wise the Corolla's acceleration is a bit slower, but have a much higher top speed. Then, when you sell the better looking, totally reliable and respected Corolla, you'll get a very good trade-in / sales price, while the Ora would depreciate badly! Then you might get mocked for driving a silly car with comical knock-off Porsche styling. I have yet to meet a sane person who thinks the Ora looks good... (And the name is far from cool) If you want to "burn money", while experiencing unpleasant range anxiety and having to deal with power outages as well as many other EV-related compromises, this slightly rediculous and compromised EV is just the car for you! (Ps. I have driven the Ora cat-car and Corolla Hybrid myself, btw.)

I wouldn’t have a Chinese car citing extreme security concerns

EV's are a scam, they cost way too much, we dont have the infrastructure to maintain EV's, wait till those batteries fail, might as well buy another car. The cost to the environment is very high.

could anyone believe a word out of this loud mouth,, just think about it !
