Electric cars remain prohibitively expensive due, in part, to the taxes, duties, and material costs. GWM is making things more affordable and bringing the EV to a broader audience by releasing its latest range of compact electric hatchbacks. Introducing the GWM Ora.
They have set the cats amongst the pigeons by introducing South Africa’s most affordable electric car range, the 300 and 400 series. With usable ranges and agreeable prices, the Ora hatch makes a compelling argument for electric mobility. Low running costs and minimal servicing requirements further bolster their appeal.
We get behind the wheel of the range-topping Ora 400 GT in Ultra Luxury trim to see how it compares to the likes of Volvo and MINI, who currently play in the lower end of the EV segment. Impressed by the build quality and technology included as standard, we find very little to criticise the Ora 400 GT on. Prices start from as low as R686 950, making the Ora hatch a viable option for those looking at green mobility.
