Why is the Magotan GTE not being produced?
1 Answers
The reason the Magotan GTE is not being produced is due to poor sales. The factors contributing to the low sales are as follows: It is an oil-to-electric conversion model: An oil-to-electric conversion refers to modifying a traditional fuel-powered vehicle into a pure electric or plug-in hybrid model based on its original structure. The Magotan GTE is modified from the fuel-powered Magotan, making it an oil-to-electric conversion model. The reason people generally dislike such models is that, to reduce costs, significant structural changes are avoided. This results in limited space for accommodating larger batteries and motors, forcing them to be placed in a scattered layout, which to some extent negatively impacts battery temperature control. Small trunk capacity: To accommodate the battery and motor, the Magotan GTE sacrifices part of its trunk space. The luggage compartment volume is only 457L, far less than the 533L of the fuel-powered version. Additionally, the biggest issue with the Magotan GTE's trunk is its low height, making it difficult to fit large-sized luggage.
