Ora Funky Cat 2023 long-term check

Convincing me might be simpler. I do maximum of my using in congested suburban London, because of this my overall mileage is somewhat low and my dependence on public charging no longer as acute as it’s going to be for drivers with extra intense utilization necessities, so I will’t see its real-world vary of 160-ish miles and most charging velocity of 64kW blighting the revel in too clearly.

Even though it springs to thoughts that I used to be in a similar fashion positive about spending extended sessions within the capital with the Vauxhall Corsa Electrical and Mazda MX-30, and it wasn’t lengthy ahead of I grew relatively uninterested in the entire will-we-or-won’t-we-make-it regimen with them. Let’s hope that fresh enhancements to my native charging infrastructure make this an more straightforward revel in.

I additionally don’t foresee the Cat’s unimaginative packaging being a lot of a subject matter: the boot is comically small, oddly formed and tough to load, however excluding the atypical bag of eggs and milk, I don’t do numerous load-lugging so I’ll fortunately make do with the use of the again seats (which, you guessed it, I infrequently have purpose to make use of as supposed) as a garage answer when required.

I assume what I’m in point of fact looking to verify is whether or not I might be precisely who the Funky Cat is geared toward. I feel that anybody whose using trend is very similar to mine – city-based, low mileage, unmarried occupancy, gentle lots – might be smartly served by means of this quirkily styled however in a different way in large part unremarkable EV. It simply continues to be noticed whether or not its lacklustre on-paper efficiency and capability depart it lagging smartly in the back of completed competitors just like the MG 4 EV and Cupra Born.

2nd Opinion

Even supposing it’s no longer an excellent automobile general, I to find the Funky Cat oddly endearing. It’s no longer dangerous to force down a rustic highway, and I love its pleasant face. Whilst you reside with a automobile longer term, you may want slightly greater than that, regardless that. Akin to Apple CarPlay.
