Can the Ora R1 be driven on highways?
2 Answers
Ora R1 can be driven on highways. The precautions for highway driving are: 1. Both the driver and front-seat passenger must fasten their seat belts, and the driver is not allowed to use mobile phones while driving; 2. Avoid making sudden steering wheel movements during high-speed driving; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle ahead, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 4. Only adjacent lanes are allowed for overtaking. After overtaking, the vehicle must immediately return to the driving lane. Vehicles are not allowed to ride or drive on the lane dividing line; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, make U-turns or turns by crossing the central divider, conduct test drives or drive training vehicles, or overtake or park on ramps; 6. Maintain a following distance of more than 100 meters. When the speed is below 100 kilometers per hour, the distance from the vehicle ahead in the same lane can be appropriately shortened but must not be less than 50 meters.
I've driven the Ora R1 quite a few times, and this little car performs perfectly fine on highways. Its top speed can exceed 100 km/h, far surpassing the legal minimum requirement of 60 km/h. In actual driving, I've tested it cruising steadily on highways—while acceleration isn't rapid, it's sufficient. The only drawback is its compact size, requiring extra caution against crosswinds when near large vehicles. As an electric microcar, its energy consumption on highways is slightly higher than in urban areas, meaning range takes a hit. It handles short highway trips effortlessly, but for long distances, planning charging stops in advance is advisable. Daily driving feels nimble, making it ideal for city commutes with occasional highway switches. Affordable and easy to park, it's a genuinely practical choice overall.
