Video Summary
The video review explores the performance of an Ora Good Cat electric car on a mountain road, addressing concerns about its suitability for hill climbing. Key findings:The specific model tested is the Ora Good Cat 400 Pro with an LFP 48-kWh battery.
The motor is the key issue, not the battery, because the motor tends to overheat when going uphill.
Great Wall Motors takes the overheating problem seriously and has been testing solutions.
When the motor overheats, the car may enter turtle mode. An indicator will appear in the instrument cluster before a complete stop. To avoid the vehicle fully stopping, ease off the accelerator. Then allow one minute to cool.
On the positive side, one-pedal driving mode is standard and provides strong regenerative braking downhill.
The review acknowledges that if the power limiter is too intrusive, it might be annoying.
Overall, the review suggests careful driving style can help avoid any issues.
The reviewer also mentions other factors that need attention. They need plenty of space in front. In the past, on Pujee Fah mountain, another Ora Good Cat did overheat. When that happens, are the electric vehicles fit for mountains?
