Kind of a cross between Porsche and the Mini Cooper. Exactly what you would expect given the German influence on the car - it shows! The Ora Funky Cat is equal in build to the VW ID4 and at $30,000 it handles like you’d anticipate with a premium sports car. The Chinese have made impressive strides with their automotive industry and I’m not too far off the mark here in saying it rivals Japanese and Korean cars in terms of quality. I like what I see!

The weirdest thing is that my 500e has a 42kw battery, 37 usable and gets 150-170 real world. Maybe the Cat is slightly heavier but I am not sure what else explains the larger battery with similar range. Mine cost me £25k.

If you have USB-C and want to charge on it, maybe get a lighter plug with an USB-C port on it. There must be something like this. Yes, it's a woraround, but it could work. Or a USB-A to USB-C adapter if that exists and if the USB-A power rating is enough. But the 12V to USB-C would give any charging power necessary, but it wouldn't be a data connection. ... But for cold climates (colder than typically on your island ;-) there should be a heated seat option. It really would make a difference on these leather or pseudo-leather seats in freezing temperatures.

In China the price for the entry model Cat is below $15.000. With shipping costs it would possibly go up with $2.500, the rest is "China tax". So, the European countries dont care to bring down polution, it is more about protecting their own car brands.

[@jheldal]

Hi Nickie! This is not so much about the car, but some confusing statements, which is handled different by all the testers. Range is: 193, I guess that is a full battery driven to completely empty. I get that, but then we mix in the charging. 44 minutes from 15 to 80% you say. Some say 10 to 80%, some 20 to 80%, Why not use the same interval? And when you have charged like this, then what is the actual range? You only charged to 80% and always leave 15% in the battery, so I guess the range is 65% of the 193 = 125 miles. So shouldn't it be this figure (125) that is mentioned as the range? Because everybody tells, the first 10-20% and the last 20% is very slow charging and not good for the battery. Take good care of your car, charge only between 10 or 15 or 20% and up to 80%, then the 125 miles is the actual range! Isn't this a topic you could discuss inside your circles? Agree on using the same, all of you. And just a small complaint. As I know, England has accepted the metric system. That means kilometers, not miles. Why do you still continue with this old system? I know the Americans won't, They're lost, poor guys. I live in Sweden, they're also using the metric, except in the car industry. There they use MIL which is 10 km. The signs on the road says x km to a city, speed limit is x km, the tachometer(?) and the speedometer in the car says km, but the dealership can only talk about MIL. At least km and Swedish MIL is easier to calculate.

[@HotYogaDoctor]

There is no problem to charge the car for the last 20% from 80 to 100 if you're not using a super fast charger. Charge to your heart's content at home or with slower chargers. The degradation is related to fast charging.
