There\u2019s serious money in a lithium-ion battery, so manufacturers have struggled to make EVs match the prices of similarly sized cars powered by combustion engines. But right now one of the latest entries on the market, the catchily named GWM Ora Funky Cat, is available at leasing.com for less than many petrol superminis.<\/p>\n<p>Offered on a two-year deal, with a limit of 5,000 miles per year, this Funky Cat has a 169bhp front-mounted motor delivering a 0-62mph time of 8.3 seconds and a 48kWh battery that can take the car just under 200 miles between recharges. The driving dynamics aren\u2019t particularly involving, but it\u2019s nippy enough around town, there\u2019s room on board for four adults and the Funky Cat was one of the first Chinese models to crack a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--5lmc_VIM--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1692977952\/autoexpress\/2023\/08\/Best%20small%20electric%20cars%202023_vbgmuf.jpg\">Best small electric cars to buy 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The model on offer is the First Edition, which comes with oodles of kit; there\u2019s a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.5-inch touchscreen infotainment set-up, air-con, auto wipers, LED headlights and tail-lights, rear parking sensors and 18-inch alloys that build on the Funky Cat\u2019s slightly oddball \u2018future retro\u2019 looks.<\/p>\n<p>As always with a contract-hire lease deal, you\u2019ll never own this car and you\u2019ll need to walk away in two years and find a fresh deposit for its replacement. But even then, this is a vastly cheaper deal than you\u2019ll find on regular PCP finance. Matching GWM Ora\u2019s terms on that arrangement (two years, 8k miles per year), the PCH lease comes out at \u00a3203.99 per month, whereas even with zero-per cent interest, the current PCP package requires a much higher deposit (\u00a38,565) and still costs \u00a3228.50 per month. Should you want to buy the car at the end of that two-year PCP, incidentally, the optional final payment is \u00a317,946.<\/p>\n<p>As always, this is a great deal on a new car that we\u2019ve chosen independently and are happy to recommend. Terms and conditions will always apply, and deals are subject to availability and prices can always change.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Get the Ora Funky Cat Deal of the Day, or take a look at yesterday\u2019s top deal here\u2026\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/ora\/funky-cat\/361202\/deal-day-ora-funky-cat-family-sized-ev-less-ps190-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get past the name and the GWM Ora Funky Cat can offer a great, affordable way into EV ownership \u2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241450,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
