Over Christmas I rented an EV here in Germany, wanted to try the Renault Megane E-Tech. Instead I got an Ora Funky Cat, so Chinese car. Electrical driving was quite nice (as most EV), but there were so many other annoying things: - First and most important for an EV: It needed a lot of energy, 25 kWh per 100 km at 120 km/h on the highway at 10 degree Celsius. Combined with a pretty small battery it was annoying how fast you lost range. - It warns you (via voice) as soon as you hit 120 km/h, every time you go below and reach it again. - If you activate the Automatic Distance Control it will warn you (again with voice), every time you activate it. - It was cold in the car, even with temperature set to 26 degree Celsius. But the heating was working when the car was not moving but in ready mode. - Slow charging speeds, 70kW max. - If you unpack your car and leave the door open, it will warn you with voice output, that the key is not in the car. All the time, without any pause, a hundred times. Highly annoying. - A lot more annoying things the car tells you to do, all with its voice. So all in all a pretty horrible experience, if other Chinese cars are similar, they will not make a dent here in Germany, even with their lower price point.
