Chinese Company Develops Popular Electric Car with Great Specifications and a Range of Up to 200 km. The Vehicle Will Compete with the Current Best-Selling Car in the Country, the Wuling Hongguang.

A new startup from China, known as Jemell New Energy, is preparing to enter the automotive market with its popular electric car called the Uni Mini EV. The vehicle has a range of up to 200 km and will be the newest competitor to the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, the current best-seller in China’s electric vehicle sector. The Lingbox Uni Mini EV is a three-door car designed to transport up to four people. 

China Launches Another Popular Electric Car with a Boxy Style

The vehicle is available in two trim levels with prices that can reach 38,800 and 49,900 yuan, which, in direct conversion, equates to R$ 27,900 and R$ 35,800.

The starting price of the Uni Mini EV is slightly above what is suggested to compete with its rival, but it is still very competitive when compared to Brazil and even for standards in China. In terms of looks, Jemell’s model definitely did not bring any innovations to the electric vehicle market, adopting the boxy standard seen in models like the Chery QQ Ice Cream, for example. 

However, the automaker is betting that the design of the popular electric car will be decisive in buyers’ choices. The vehicle measures 1,517 mm in width, 1,620 mm in height, and 2,930 mm in length, with a wheelbase of 1,940 mm, which is an average among its main competitors in China.

The interior of the vehicle is simple and concise, following the standards adopted in the sector, with a dashboard of clean lines, a set of buttons in the center of the panel, and a touch-sensitive multimedia screen. In front of the driver is a traditional analog instrument cluster. Its technical specifications are very similar to several other vehicles in the sector.

The popular electric car from China is powered by an electric motor that can deliver 27 horsepower and 8.7 kgfm of torque, achieving a top speed of 100 km/h.

The model from China has two options for lithium iron phosphate batteries, one with a capacity of 11.52 kWh and another with 15.96 kWh, ensuring a range that can go from 140 to 201 km, respectively, on a single charge. It is important to emphasize that the Chinese startup is recent and emerged in 2020, with its headquarters in Jiangsu.

Best-Selling Car in China Will Get a Luxury Version

The favorite electric car of the Chinese will soon gain a luxury version. The model is the popular electric car Wuling Air EV, a mini electric car with a more elaborate appearance that will be launched in the third quarter of this year. 

The model is quite small and has an appearance that bets on the boxy shape with a bolder front compared to its older version. The difference in the new model is that it will be offered in two body configurations, one with a short wheelbase for 2 people and another with a longer wheelbase for 4 people. 

The new model is equipped with a motor that can deliver up to 40 horsepower with front-wheel drive. Other specifications have not been disclosed by the Chinese company; however, the battery will be lithium iron phosphate, and the top speed is 100 km/h, making it a model geared towards urban environments.
