All Oras are front wheel drive, with an 126kw/250Nm electric motor powered by either a 49kwh or 64kwh battery.

126kw may not sound like much, and an 8 second 0-100 dash will not rip your face off, but it doesn’t need to, it costs at 38 grand. If it sounds like the brand is thumbing its nose at just about every other manufacturer, it probably is.
Evidentially, if a Chinese car maker wants to reduce a price, it does, with eyes firmly on the prize.
Tell us about the charging.
Charging at home means shelling out $1690 for a wall-mounted unit that will power any type-2 EV. It was included free, prior to the price reduction, in all but the standard range car. For the time being, that home charger is a optional extra
Public fast charging maximum is 80kw, so searching for a more powerful charger is a waste of time.
The Price reduction:
GWM seems to have gotten itself into a bit of a stoush with fellow Chinese car makers. Cheap-as-chips models are popping up like mushrooms and the Ora was in danger of having its mantel mooched.
The first reduction from $44,550 (in NSW) to $41,045 (also in NSW), was a cheeky 3 thousand-ish off the back and sides. GWM’s “Offers” page, now shows a starting price $38,415 (drive away) for the standard range, to $50,919 (drive away) for the range-topping GT Extended Range. 6 grand in a year? What the?
