Brand new GWM Ora 03 GT Review - This is the cheapest (and best) EV in South Africa
Jump to Connections
179,115 Views • Jan 17, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
Electric vehicles in South Africa have always been and will likely continue to be expensive and out of reach of the average local motorist for some time. However, GWM has just become the first manufacturer to break the R700,000 barrier, undercutting its nearest rival, the Mini SE, by nearly R100,000.

Yes for the sum R686,950, you can park a fully electric vehicle in your garage, and the thing is, it's not like you'll be compromising on any aspect of your purchase; the Ora 03 offers an impressive range of either 300 or 400km (claimed), a best-in-class EuroNCAP safety rating and a full suite of creature comforts.

In this video, our video journalist Ciro De Siena takes us on a thorough tour of the newcomer, and whether it is worth your attention if you're in the market for an electric car, or even if you aren't...

The News Reporter scene killed me😂😂 I tested the Ora 03 at Gerotek and I was really impressed. Just like Ciro, the only thing stopping me from buying an EV is the pricing. A sensible entry point for me is R400k.

It would be interesting to see a cost comparison over 100000km vs normal engine. Car cost + electricity cost vs car cost + petrol cost

Here's an idea. Why don't manufacturers make the on screen interface totally personalisable - like an Android phone? In other words, YOU decide what functions you want on the screen and what you don't want. YOU decide WHERE to put them, and even how BIG the controls should be. That would solve your fan speed issue - YOU could put that control in a prominent position on screen in a large font?

I drove in more than 20 Chinese EV's the last 5 weeks. They are much more spacious in the back (legroom). They are quiet. The city is also much quieter due to lesser ICE cars. They also guarantee the battery life for at least 8-10 years. Chinese also use voice commands to change fan speed, open sunroof / windows, etc so they don't miss physical buttons. The Ora CAT is a medium size car, they make much smaller and cheaper EV's some equivalent to R120 - R150k. 4 seater the size of a suzuki swift.

I trust in due time , with more brands bringing ev's to sa we'll see ev's around the 400k mark if not even 300k mark which would widen the target market.

I am assuming a large % of cost is the battery pack. Why? The lithium ion batteries we use at home for backup cost roughly ZAR 25k for 5kw. Ora is 63kw so about ZAR 300k of the price is the battery pack

Just test drove the 03 400 GT today, and honestly considering trading in my H6, the savings alone on fuel would absorb the cost of the electric ORA completely, I'm just waiting to find out about insurance. 7 year/200,000km warrenty on the car and a 7 year/105,000km service plan and an 8 year Warrenton on the battery, makes it a good choice for me personally.
