This vehicle has a range of approximately 350 kilometers. The following factors affect the range: 1. Comprehensive factors: The key to improving a car's range lies in fuel technology and continuously enhancing engine performance, while also considering factors such as vehicle size and price. 2. Other factors: The increase in the vehicle's range is still influenced by various other factors, such as battery high and low-temperature technology, optimization of battery BMS technology, upgrades to the vehicle's energy recovery system, lightweight body design, and energy-saving technologies for hardware equipment. Additionally, external driving conditions, air resistance coefficient, mechanical transmission efficiency, vehicle weight, number of passengers, and other factors can all affect the actual range of an electric vehicle.

As an owner of an Ora 400 for over half a year, the official claimed range of 400 kilometers is vastly different from real-world performance. With frequent urban commuting congestion leading to high energy consumption, the actual range is only around 300 kilometers. Running air conditioning in summer and heating in winter further reduces the range below 280 km. At high speeds, increased wind resistance worsens energy consumption, leaving just over 270 km of range. With my habit of smooth driving (avoiding sudden acceleration/braking), I can barely reach 320 km. Battery degradation over time (about 5% after one year) also affects performance. Overall real range fluctuates between 270-330 km - maintaining proper charging habits through regular maintenance helps prolong battery life.

Let's talk about the real-world range of Ora 400 from a technical perspective. The official 400km range is an ideal test value based on standards like NEDC, but actual driving conditions are far more complex. Air conditioning can consume 10-20% of the battery, reducing range to possibly just 300km when maxed out. In extremely cold temperatures like below zero in winter, battery activity decreases, cutting range by 20%. Aggressive driving behaviors like sudden braking and acceleration, without properly utilizing regenerative braking, also waste power. Additionally, heavy loads or high-speed driving with increased resistance significantly reduce range. Over time, natural battery degradation leads to a 1-2% annual loss in range. A new car might achieve around 330km in the first six months, while an older one could drop below 250km. It's best to use ECO mode and maintain a steady speed.

As a young driver, I prioritize practicality. The Ora 400 claims a range of 400 kilometers, but in reality, it can reach over 300 kilometers. Driving in the city for five days is no problem, but avoid driving too fast or stomping on the accelerator, as it drains the battery quickly. Turning on the AC is worth it even if it slightly reduces the range—it adds a cool factor. I usually drive in eco mode, and it's sufficient for weekend trips without frequent charging. Simple maintenance and durable batteries are all I need.
