WE DROVE CHINA'S UNBELIEVABLE $32,000 ELECTRIC SPORTS CAR

EV Channels Review

The SC01 is presented as a refreshing departure from typical electric vehicles, focusing on the core principles of a sports car: low weight, agility, and driver connection. Priced affordably at $32,000 and weighing just 1,365 kg, it aims to deliver a visceral driving experience. The dual-motor AWD setup produces 320 kW and achieves 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, aided by a mid-mounted 60 kWh battery that contributes to a low center of gravity (360 mm). The interior eschews screens for tactile physical controls, offering extensive customization options usually found in luxury vehicles. However, the review highlights that this is a pre-production model, with noted issues in paintwork, panel gaps, and some non-functional buttons. The ride is described as harsh, and motor whine is prominent due to lack of sound deadening and high power delivery. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer praises its raw, engaging feel, comparing it favorably to track-focused cars and emphasizing its potential to bring affordable, fun-to-drive EVs to the market. The reviewer's colleague even purchased one.
