Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Geely EX5 or the GWM ORA ORA 03?
The GWM ORA ORA 03 is £3,495 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the GWM ORA ORA 03 comes out roughly £3,535 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Geely EX5 and GWM ORA ORA 03 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 198 miles for the Geely EX5 and 160 miles for the GWM ORA ORA 03 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Geely EX5 goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 20 minutes in the Geely EX5 and 43 in the GWM ORA ORA 03, so the Geely EX5 loses less time at each stop. That makes the Geely EX5 the stronger long-distance car.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Geely EX5 or the GWM ORA ORA 03?
The GWM ORA ORA 03 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 76 mm narrower than the Geely EX5. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 575 mm of total clearance for the GWM ORA ORA 03 and about 499 mm of total clearance for the Geely EX5. The Geely EX5 also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Geely EX5 or the GWM ORA ORA 03?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Geely EX5 and 90% for the GWM ORA ORA 03. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
