Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Ora comes in four different models, all of which have a front-mounted electric motor that can generate 126kW and 250Nm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows the EV, which weighs 1.5 tonnes, to go from 0-100km\/h in 8.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 160km\/h. You can choose between five driving modes – Auto, ECO, ECO+, Standard, and Sport – using a selector in the cabin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The electric power steering system has three settings – Comfort, Light, and Sport. You can also choose between two different battery options: the standard-range 300 variant and the extended-range 400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 300 variant uses a 48kWh lithium-ion phosphate battery that can provide a total driving range of 310km, while the 400 variant uses a 63kWh nickel-manganese cobalt battery that can push the range up to 420km (400km on the GT Ultra Luxury).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTaking into consideration a rate of around R3.50 per kWh for AC home charging, it will cost an owner approximately R170 to R250 to fully charge his or her Gwm Ora 03,\u201d said GWM. \u201cUsing DC fast charging at a rate of R5.00 to R5.80 per kWh, the cost for a full charge will be around R250 to R300.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
