The range of new energy vehicles is affected by many factors. Under normal driving conditions, the range is about 350km. The following are various factors that affect the range of new energy vehicles: Factors affecting the range of electric vehicles: Battery energy density and materials will affect the range; vehicle weight will affect the range; wind resistance will affect the range—the greater the wind resistance, the shorter the range; temperature also impacts battery performance—the lower the temperature, the shorter the range; traffic congestion increases energy consumption, ultimately affecting the range; driving habits and techniques, such as sudden braking or acceleration, will also affect energy consumption. Methods to extend the range of electric vehicles: Pay attention to charging methods. For vehicles not in use for a long time, ensure they are charged at least once a month to protect the battery and extend its lifespan; avoid sudden braking as much as possible and maintain a moderate speed; replenish battery fluids promptly; accelerate gradually, etc.

I've been driving the Ora Good Cat for a while now, and the range performance is quite good. The official CLTC range is about 480 kilometers, but in actual driving, it's around 350 to 400 kilometers, depending on how you drive. For example, using the air conditioning or heating can reduce the range more in winter, by about 30 to 50 kilometers. In summer, driving steadily on city roads hardly affects the range much. My daily commute is 40 kilometers round trip, and a single charge can last me a whole week, which is very convenient. Even weekend trips to the suburbs with the kids are no problem. As for charging, a fast charge from 30% to 80% takes about half an hour. Having a home charging station makes it even easier, as it can fully charge overnight. Overall, the Good Cat's range is sufficient for daily use, though it might consume more power on highways. But among electric cars in the same price range, it's quite reliable. I'd suggest evaluating it based on your own driving habits.

As an electric car enthusiast, I really appreciate the range design of the Ora Good Cat. Its ternary lithium battery has decent energy density, with official ranges varying from 401km to 501km. In real-world city driving conditions, it can maintain over 350km. The key is not just the advertised numbers, but also the influencing factors: in low temperatures, the range drops to around 300km, and using the heater consumes a lot of power; in high temperatures, the air conditioning reduces range by about 10%; driving habits are crucial—sudden acceleration and braking reduce mileage, while smooth driving can improve it. It supports fast charging, reaching 80% in just half an hour, while a home slow charge takes about 6 hours. I recommend test-driving it more to experience it firsthand and paying attention to battery health. Over long-term use, degradation is minimal, and the range doesn’t drop quickly. This car offers great value for money.

I drive the Ora Good Cat to and from work every day, and range is crucial for me. The advertised range is 480km, but in actual city commuting, it can run 360-380km, which is completely sufficient. With a one-way distance of 15km, a single charge can last over a week. On highways, the power consumption is faster, so I need to charge in advance if I plan to drive more than 200km at a time. The advantage is the convenience of charging—there are plenty of charging stations in the city, and a 30-minute fast charge meets most needs, so there's no anxiety about running out of power. However, weather has a big impact. In cold winters, the range drops to around 330km, while in summer, using the air conditioning, it can still maintain. Overall, I feel the car's range is reasonable, suitable for city driving—no need to charge every day, saving both money and hassle.
