Is Ora a pure electric vehicle?
2 Answers
Yes. Here is the relevant introduction: Introduction: The Ora brand belongs to Great Wall Motors and is the first independent new energy vehicle brand among mainstream Chinese automakers. Among Chinese automakers, Great Wall was the first to establish new energy vehicle operations as an independent new energy brand under brand management. Ora's R&D and design: The team comes from countries such as Germany, Austria, the United States, Japan, and South Korea. At the same time, Ora has international suppliers like Bosch and Autoliv. Ora is a small pure electric vehicle, powered by a ternary lithium battery. When fully charged, the battery can store about 30 kWh of electricity, with a driving range of 300 to 400 kilometers, making it suitable for urban commuting.
Once at a charging station, I met a lady driving an Ora Ballet Cat who proudly mentioned her car was fully electric. After checking, I found that Ora is indeed a brand dedicated to electric vehicles, producing only pure electric cars since its inception in 2018. Their initial models, the Black Cat and White Cat series, were compact electric cars, followed by the Good Cat, Ballet Cat, and Lightning Cat, all battery-powered. Last week, I helped a neighbor pick up a Lightning Cat—its entire undercarriage was a flat battery pack without even a placeholder for an exhaust pipe. Every model currently sold by the brand qualifies for green license plates, with the charging port conveniently located behind the front logo. Now, even their brand showrooms are filled with charging stations.
