Great Wall Motor has developed an all-new electric car which is incredibly affordable and offers a decent range.
The small city car costs $8,680 (£7,000) after incentives and offers almost 200 miles of range on a single charge.
GWM says that the “subsidized price of the new model, ORA R1, ranges after incentives from 59,800 RMB to 77,800 RMB (USD 8,680 to USD 11,293, per the CNY/USD rate as of Dec. 25, 2018).”
Named ORA R1, the Chinese electric car is one of the most affordable electric cars to offers such a significant range.

Ning Shuyong, general manager of ORA and vice president of Great Wall Motor, said: "As a new market entrant, ORA R1 delivers an unprecedented experience to drivers.
“ORA replaces the traditional sales, service, spare parts and surveys (4S) dealership-centered model that is common in China with a network consisting of ORA Home, experience centers and smart outlets in the central business districts of Chinese cities.
“In addition, the big data cloud that is created as the result of the information collected from the ORA app, the ORA shopping site and the Tmall e-shop opens the way to the development of multiple scenarios for offline sales and services as well as new transportation services for both drivers and passengers."
Powering the car is a 33kWh battery pack with a range of up to 194-miles of range on a single charge.
