ORA Adora A New Generation for the Electric VehicleBuilt on ME platform, the first GWM exclusive platform for electric vehicles, ORA Adora features advantages on five aspects, which are appearance, space, intelligence equipment, safety and overall quality. Lightweight design endows the product with the characteristics of longer endurance mileage and low power consumption, which fully cater to the expectations of the younger audience for premium vehicles.
Over the past 10 years or so, a lot of new energy vehicle startups and legacy OEMs have followed the same formula of starting with top of the range electric vehicles ($50,000 plus) and then moving slowly to develop lower priced versions. There has been a lot of progress in the EV space over the past 10 years, especially in incremental improvements in energy density, improvements in battery chemistries, and the optimization of battery cell and pack manufacturing processes.
LFP-based module-less packs in cell to pack configuration, such as BYD’s Blade battery, have reduced the costs of batteries to a point where EVs with a real world range of over 300 kilometers (~186 miles) are now priced at levels considered affordable. However, these EVs have mostly only been available in China. One of the reasons for this is because a lot of the legacy OEMs in Europe and the US still want people to believe that EVs are still far more expensive to build than their beloved ICE vehicles, and that this will be the case for a very long time. One of the traditional big auto firms, Renault, apparently even wants the deadline for the end of ICE sales in the EU to be delayed till 2040! A lot of these legacy OEMs are planning for a cheaper $25,000 car only by 2025. The VW ID.2 is sadly and quite disappointingly only expected to arrive in 2025. Renault’s successor to the Zoe, the resurrected Renault 5, is now coming back as an all-electric car and has been confirmed for production in 2024. It is also expected to be priced around $25,000 in 2024.
Which is why it’s latest model, the Cat, will be quite a lot posher than many were expecting it to be when it arrives in the UK and Republic of Ireland early next year.Prices will start at around £25,000, probably climbing to 30-ish for the top of the line model with all the toys and a bigger battery.That’s not cheap compared to Ora’s previous model, the £7,000, China-only R1, but in the landscape of EVs currently on sale in Europe, it’s still right down the low end. In fact, it places the Cat firmly into VW ID.3 territory, a car it has much in common with on paper.
As a new market entrant, ORA R1 delivers an unprecedented experience to drivers. ORA replaces the traditional sales, service, spare parts and surveys (4S) dealership-centered model that is common in China with a network consisting of ORA Home, experience centers and smart outlets in the central business districts of Chinese cities. In addition, the big data cloud that is created as the result of the information collected from the ORA app, the ORA shopping site and the Tmall e-shop opens the way to the development of multiple scenarios for offline sales and services as well as new transportation services for both drivers and passengers
Where the ID.3’s cabin is let down by a sea of bland-looking, cheap-feeling plastics that leave you wondering if VW forgot to save any budget for the interior at all, the Ora cocoons you in premium materials. The seats are wrapped in a soft leatherette as-standard and finished with a diamond-stitched pattern not unlike that found in Bentleys.
