Where is the Ora Black Cat produced?

[VanJosiah]

Ora Black Cat is produced by Great Wall. The following is an introduction about Ora: 1. Introduction to Ora: The Ora brand is a subsidiary of Great Wall Motors and is the first independent new energy vehicle brand among mainstream Chinese automakers. Among Chinese automobile companies, Great Wall was the first to establish new energy vehicle business as an independently managed new energy brand. 2. Advantages of Ora: The Ora brand is the result of Great Wall Motors' decade-long dedicated research and development. It does not engage in 'oil-to-electric' conversions or 'policy vehicles.' Leveraging decades of Great Wall's technical expertise, the brand launched its first native pure electric model, the Ora iQ, providing consumers with more green travel options while ensuring quality that stands up to scrutiny.

The Ora Black Cat is produced by Ora, a pure electric brand under China's Great Wall Motors. Great Wall's headquarters is in Baoding, Hebei, so this car is manufactured in their Hebei factory. I've looked into their production line - it's quite highly automated with strict quality control. In fact, Great Wall has several manufacturing bases in Baoding, including dedicated factories for new energy vehicles. In recent years, I've seen many Black Cats on the streets - compact with a somewhat retro design that really appeals to young people. As a domestic new energy compact car, the Black Cat has precise positioning and affordable pricing, contributing to its widespread popularity.

I've discussed this several times in the car enthusiast group. The Ora Black Cat is indeed purely domestically produced, located in Baoding, Hebei. Great Wall Motors has quite innovative ideas when it comes to car manufacturing, as they've done a great job combining retro elements with electric vehicles. Although the car is small, the interior space is surprisingly good, making it particularly agile for city driving. Most importantly, this car offers sufficient range at an affordable price, making it the first choice for many female drivers. A friend who works at Great Wall mentioned that they've specially built new energy production lines for these types of compact cars.

The Great Wall Motors Baoding plant manufactures it. I've visited their factory, and the automated welding line is quite impressive. The Black Cat, this type of micro electric vehicle, was actually the first to become popular in China, followed later by the Wuling Hongguang MINI. Despite its small size, the battery pack is fully packed. Early versions used CATL batteries, and later versions also adopted SVOLT. The damping feel of the door opening and closing is unexpectedly solid, better than imagined.

I bought the Black Cat Goddess Edition last year, and the first three letters of the VIN clearly indicate it was manufactured in Baoding. At the time of delivery, the salesperson mentioned a daily production capacity of over a thousand units. Later, during maintenance, I noticed that parts suppliers were spread across the country, but final assembly only took place at the Baoding factory. One detail that stood out was the Baoding factory code engraved on the wheel liners. This car is perfect for city commuting, with an exceptionally light steering wheel. The range drops a bit when the AC is on, but overall, it's quite reliable.

It's manufactured at Great Wall Motors' own facility located in Baoding, Hebei. After thorough research on its production platform, it's confirmed to be the ME platform specifically developed by Great Wall for micro electric vehicles. The three-electric system adopts entirely domestic solutions, with batteries sourced from different suppliers depending on configurations. The vehicle frame employs a cage structure, and surprisingly, plastic components are used for rear wheel housings to reduce weight—all these designs originate from the Baoding R&D Center. Local friends mention this model is particularly common in Hebei, with the factory situated right on the outskirts of the city.
