4 Answers
Taking the Ora Good Cat 2021 400km Standard Range Muse Edition with LFP battery as an example, this model has a range of 401 kilometers. The dimensions of this car are 4235mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1596mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. Its curb weight is 1510kg, and the body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. In terms of power, it is equipped with an electric motor with a total power output of 105kW and a total torque of 210Nm. For the suspension, it uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
I previously drove an Ora Good Cat, with an official range of about 401 kilometers based on CLTC test standards. In actual use, I found that it could run just over 380 kilometers for city commuting, but would drop to below 350 kilometers when using air conditioning in summer or driving at high speeds. The battery performance is quite stable, and a full charge is enough for my weekly commute, so I don’t have to worry about charging frequently. In winter, the range drops by about 10% in low temperatures, so it’s necessary to plan charging stops in advance. If you’re a new owner, I recommend developing a gentle driving habit—avoid sudden acceleration to preserve more range. Overall, it’s perfectly suitable for daily commuting, and for long-distance trips, just plan your route with supercharging stations along the way for peace of mind.
The standard range of the Ora Good Cat under CLTC conditions is 401 kilometers, which I find quite realistic. During driving, the range is influenced by various factors, such as driving style—rapid acceleration or frequent braking can significantly reduce the mileage. For instance, I once experienced the range dropping below 350 kilometers when driving at high speeds. The car's air conditioning system is also quite power-consuming; on hot days, turning on the AC might reduce the range by about 15%. However, under normal weather conditions without using the AC, the range can nearly reach 400 kilometers. The battery technology is well-utilized, supporting fast charging that can replenish a considerable amount of power in just half an hour, making it very convenient for daily commutes. To extend the battery's lifespan, it's advisable to avoid fully discharging it regularly; shallow charging and discharging are better for the car's longevity.
Driving the Ora Good Cat feels like the range is decent, with the official claim of 401 km, and in reality, I can get around 370 km in the city. It's definitely enough for daily commuting, just charge once a week and you're good to go, no worries. Fast charging is quite quick, adding 200 km of range in half an hour, which saves time. The range can be shorter on rainy, snowy, or cold days, so I suggest fellow drivers check the weather and adjust the driving mode before heading out, driving steadily is best. Overall, the battery is reliable, no need to worry about getting stranded.
