An electric car has no fuel average. The figure that matters is range, and
the 430 km above is the manufacturer's claim on its
home market's test cycle — Pakistani heat and air-conditioning use will
not reproduce it.
At 7 km per kWh, your cost per kilometre is
your own electricity tariff divided by 7.
We do not print a rupee figure because domestic tariffs in Pakistan are
slabbed, and a single number would be wrong for most households.
Where these figures come from:
An electric car has no km/l. OMODA quotes 430 km on WLTP and 505 km on NEDC from the 61 kWh battery; the WLTP figure is the one recorded here because it is the less lenient of the two.
Verified fuel figures for this variant are not available yet.
OMODA's electric SUV, and the third OMODA nameplate on this site after the 7 and the 4.
150 kW and 340 Nm from a 61 kWh battery, 430 km WLTP.
DC charging from 30 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes.
▲340 Nm from a standing start and 0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, which is quick for a compact SUV
▲430 km WLTP is a usable real-world range, and WLTP is a more realistic cycle than the NEDC figure also quoted
▲Lithium iron phosphate chemistry - longer-lived and more heat-tolerant than the ternary packs used in some rivals, which matters a great deal in this climate
▲30 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes on DC, on the CCS2 standard rather than a proprietary plug
▲Battery warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km, and 6 years or 150,000 km on the vehicle
▲Five-star Euro NCAP, six airbags, a 360-degree camera and a genuinely complete ADAS list
▲One well-equipped grade, so there is no stripped-out version to be steered towards
▲4,424 mm long - small enough for city use, which is where an electric car in Pakistan actually works
▲NexGen also distributes JAECOO here, so the dealer and service network is shared and growing
The bad
▼NO PUBLISHED PRICE. A buyer cannot compare it against anything without going to a dealer
▼61 kWh is mid-sized; with air conditioning running in a Pakistani summer the real range will sit well under the 430 km WLTP figure
▼DC charging infrastructure outside Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad is thin, which limits an electric car to the city it lives in - and on a 6.6 kW home supply a 61 kWh battery is an overnight job
▼OMODA publishes no kWh/100km consumption figure, which is the number that would let a buyer work out the running cost from their own electricity tariff
▼Front-wheel drive and a single motor - no all-wheel-drive option
▼380 litres to the cargo cover is modest for the class, though the 19-litre front compartment helps with cables
▼OMODA is a young brand in Pakistan and long-term parts and resale behaviour are not yet known
