351 kilometers of comprehensive range. Below is some introduction about Ora: 1. Logo: The Ora brand logo is derived from an exclamation mark, symbolizing tribute and greetings - paying homage to Mr. Euler, greeting users, and greeting the world. Ora hopes to bring surprises to everyone while representing Great Wall Motors' determination to create surprising products for users. 2. Positioning: Ora is positioned as a new generation of electric compact cars. Unlike traditional automakers and new EV startups that struggle with oil-to-electric conversions, delivery difficulties, and high pricing, Ora possesses both the profound automotive manufacturing heritage and quality/safety control that new EV startups lack. At the same time, it's an independent new energy brand among traditional automakers, integrating leading intelligent connectivity technologies.

The range of an Ora electric car after a full charge mainly depends on the model. High-end models like the Good Cat have an official claimed range of 450 to 500 kilometers. I've driven a friend's Good Cat, and in daily city driving, it can really cover over 400 kilometers. However, on highways with air conditioning and high wind resistance, the range drops quickly, possibly to just over 360 kilometers. Battery technology and driving habits have a significant impact—maintaining a speed of 60 km/h with gentle acceleration and turning off the air conditioning saves power, noticeably extending the range. In cold winters, battery efficiency decreases, reducing the range to about 70%. I've measured voltage fluctuations with a multimeter, and the difference in battery health is substantial. New cars perform well for three to five years, but after aging, halving the range is common. It's advisable to regularly check tire pressure and charging temperature to maintain optimal performance.

I've been commuting with the Ora Good Cat for almost a year now. A full charge lasts me about six days, covering roughly 400 kilometers. For city commuting with frequent stops and starts, I average 380 kilometers before needing to recharge, which is quite hassle-free. However, on my last long-distance highway trip with the heater on, the battery drained quickly, lasting only a bit over 300 kilometers before the warning light came on. Vehicle weight and gradients also play a role: climbing mountain roads consumes about 20% more power, and with a full load, the range is even shorter. My advice is not to fully trust the car's displayed range—keeping an 80-kilometer buffer is safer. The home charging station is incredibly convenient; charging overnight means it's ready to go in the morning without any hassle.

The range varies across different Ora models, with the Black Cat base version offering 300 km and the Good Cat enhanced version commonly reaching 500 km. After several years of driving, the actual mileage typically fluctuates between 80% and 90% of the official data. When driving on highways at 120 km/h, the range drops by over 15%; using air conditioning in summer increases power consumption by 10%. Battery condition is crucial—I regularly check its health: avoid storing it at full or empty charge for extended periods, as this accelerates aging. Regular maintenance and voltage checks can prevent degradation. In city driving, a full charge usually ensures a stable 360 km range, but if unsure, charging up to 90% is sufficient.
