2 Answers
The range of the Ora R1 is 351km, which represents the maximum distance it can travel at an economical speed. Taking the 2021 Ora R1 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3495mm, width 1660mm, height 1560mm, with a wheelbase of 2475mm, a minimum ground clearance of 140mm, and a luggage compartment capacity ranging from 200 to 872 liters. The 2021 Ora R1 has a maximum power output of 35kw and a maximum torque of 125nm, paired with a single-speed electric vehicle transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving the Ora R1 for almost a year now. Its official range is 351 kilometers, but in city driving with air conditioning on, it actually achieves just over 300 kilometers, which feels completely sufficient for daily commuting. However, range is significantly affected by weather and driving habits. For example, in winter with the heater on, the range drops to around 280 kilometers. I've noticed that driving gently and avoiding sudden braking can add an extra 20 to 30 kilometers to the range. Charging is also quite convenient, with fast charging reaching 80% in about half an hour, and slow charging taking five to six hours overnight. Overall, as an urban electric vehicle, the Ora R1's range performance is quite practical, especially suitable for city commuting—saving on fuel costs and being environmentally friendly. However, for long-distance trips, planning charging stops in advance is necessary.
