Brand new GWM Ora 03 GT Review – This is the cheapest (and best) EV in South Africa


Electric vehicles in South Africa have always been and will likely continue to be expensive and out of reach of the average local motorist for some time. However, GWM has just become the first manufacturer to break the R700,000 barrier, undercutting its nearest rival, the Mini SE, by nearly R100,000.

Yes for the sum R686,950, you can park a…

  1. Just test drove the 03 400 GT today, and honestly considering trading in my H6, the savings alone on fuel would absorb the cost of the electric ORA completely, I'm just waiting to find out about insurance. 7 year/200,000km warrenty on the car and a 7 year/105,000km service plan and an 8 year Warrenton on the battery, makes it a good choice for me personally.

  2. Hopefully Xpeng ,Nio and Lixiang L8 could all make it in the country, you guys deserve better car options, or by the way also the byd, they are the best.

  3. Hi. Brother you must do a matchup between the Ora and the Ford Puma. But, do it in a small town like George, Knysna or inland in a town like POTCHEFSTROOM. I believe that a electric cars like the Ora is best for people living in a small city

  4. No, thank you not buying one- ever! Climate change is load of bullshit. Just tell me what’s going to happen when the battery needs replacing. You can’t get rid of a triple A battery because they not biodegradable.

  5. I would say the review is dead wrong about no upkeep on the car. Wait 2-3 years when the electric components start acting up. The green you would have to cough up will make you bankrupt. Seen quite few hybrid cars falling into that trap. Even Hertz are selling their electic cars in bulk because of high upkeep costs. EV cars needs another 25 years to be really feasible.

  6. Rented this car in Germany in January this year….and it's terrible. I don't know who's encouraging you guys to say these things, but there are scores of better EV options. Maybe not in SA…but rather wait. I can't take reviews seriously from this channel if this is a win for you.

  7. Great review. Other than the still high purchase price, the cost of a replacement battery down the line is a real concern. The sales team are mute when asked about the battery replacement cost …
