We Need More Affordable EV Coupes Like This - Neta GT

  • Chinese automakers have never really done sports cars or coupes and the handful that made it...the less said the better. But with the rapid transformation and electrification of the Chinese automotive market has come a newfound confidence and boldness, and the Neta GT is just such a symbol. A stunningly sculpted, compact 2-door electric coupe, the Neta GT comes in both simmering and super rapid variants, and yet both offer the same incredible value as their other sometimes quirky offerings. It's a bold move, and an unexpected one, but the GT is exactly what the Chinese car market deserves and we're delighted it exists.

I have tried to get their PR people, still working on it. I'd like to try the electric M5 and the M7 too but I'll see what I can do. Be honest though, the M7 Is not very attractive, it's a bit bland compared to most Chinese brands now.

    Now this is an EV people will love, got the right number of doors, good looking, great range and the right price.

      This is what VW and Tesla should be making.
      I think this is better looking and more sports like than the mustang mach e which has too many door, costs too much and doesn't look right.
      It's like they've listened to the people and designed the car the public wants rather than trying to force people to buy what they want.
      If this comes to the UK and stays as is with only the wheel being changed over I would buy it with a smile.

      I doubt it will ever hit the UK, they would need very high LHD sales to even remotely consider making a RHD version. There are so many very good cheap Chinese EV's at the moment, but less than 5% will make it to the UK imo. 10/15 years time that may well be a different story. But atm no chance.

      This is probably the first EV that is fun to drive, has a decent range, not slapped together like a tesla, not over priced and is good looking too.
      Just the potential sales in Australia and maybe even Japan would warrant making a RHD.
      The African market is RHD too, a cheap, well designed EV would go over well there.
      This is probably the first EV that was designed with drivers in mind.
      They could stick another 5 to 10 grand on the price and it will still sell with RHD.

      “If” and that’s a pretty big IF, it ever makes it to the UK. The dealer will add £10k but the killer will be the Import duty and levy that the UK will add on, the last cheap Chinese car I saw that actually made it to the UK was £13k in China but £27k here and that was due to a levy designed to protect the (non existent) UK electric car industry.

    Finally - not an SUV. Overall, quite nice looking. Could be a bit more classy with less of those useless black plastic elements outside and more decent colours inside (orange? really?) Also, the back of the car looks a bit like some cheap Toyota or so, but all in all, I am very happy to see this. I will definitely be in the market for an electric GT/sports car in a few years from now!

    This is the first EV that looks like a car designed by an adult rather than an 8 year old. It looks fantastic, and I’m not an aesthete, but, even I can see the design elements and cues, like the sweeping curve of the roof-line and the raised haunches. The interior looks great too, especially for a sub-£20k car.
    I think you’re charging on 3 phase electricity to charge that rapidly. 3 phase electricity is rare domestically in UK homes, but is the standard for UK commerce. It thus means that UK drivers are limited to 4kW and 7kW chargers. The 4kW would take around 20 hours to charge this car, and the 7kW around 10-12hours. The lack of 3 phase domestic electricity is what is hampering EVs (amongst many other things) in the UK.
    Lastly, why does this part of China look empty?

    • @InsideChinaAuto
      @InsideChinaAuto  9 місяців тому

      Thanks for the comprehensive comment. This is a pretty car, though not perfect, but at least it's a sports car.
      I don't have a home charger here though my compound has them, so I charge outside. It's cheap enough and they're readily available. Not much clue on phases and things though.
      This particular location is a tiny little village that's not yet fully opened so it's good for video without disturbances, but that's why it's empty. Nobody lives here properly yet. Plus I do get up very early for driving shots just because it makes my life a lot easier.

    • @albertol1529
      @albertol1529 9 місяців тому

      @@InsideChinaAuto Look at that! A country that builds infrastructure before it’s needed.
      As for 3 phase electricity, all it means is that there are effectively 3 separate power supplies working in unison to avoid overloads. Single phase is common in the UK because we’re antiquated and didn’t invest in infrastructure after the war. 3 phases is across a lot of Europe, probably due to the extensive bombing by the allies and the need to rebuild.
      Anyway, single phase is enough for all domestic uses except charging EVs (quickly). 3 phase supplies will be needed because banning gas boilers in new builds and the move to PV panels and Heat Pumps. Single phase cannot cope with charging EVs, a heat pump and solar panels. If you have 3 phase supply in the UK it costs around £8k to install dependent on how far you are from a 3 phase supply. Villages are problematic, but living in a town means you can access it more easily because all commercial premises are 3 phase.
      A 22kW charger is available in the UK if you have 3 phase supply. BTW, what do you do out there? I’ve looked at jobs in Unis out there and I quite like the idea of moving, except for the complex language!

As for selling abroad, setting up dealer networks takes time, plus they need to develop a reputation.

    Great to see something that isn't an SUV. Quite nicely styled but there are elephants in the room. Would be surprised if this wasn't £40k minimum if it were ever sold in the UK. How long does the battery health last ? This is a major talking point with all EV and no one wants to give an honest answer. Are we expecting to dispose of the car after five years because no one else can afford to install a new battery ? In other words the equivalent of major component failure like an engine on a petrol car. What's the case with parts availability ? MG in the UK are struggling with this apparently. What's the build quality like ? Again MG are struggling. Same with reliability. Just check the UK MG forums. Essentially this is the comparison info that a UK buyer would have based on a Chinese marque ( or in MG's case a Chinese owned marque ). There are others but data and sales ( Byd ) for example are too low at the moment. The width for UK buyers would also be a problem but that's the same for a lot of EV and petrol cars these days anyway

      Price wise, yeah, no doubt more expensive, but still cheaper than the Cyberster which I believe will start at £59k.
      As for the batteries, they should have a lifetime guarantee but at least 8 years they should maintain the bulk of their storage capacity. This car is brand new so no real indication of long-term just yet.
      Parts is really an industry wide issue, supply chains somehow still haven't fully recovered so even innocuous parts are grounding all kinds of vehicles at the moment.
      I'll have to trust you on the MG stuff. I have a family member with one but no issues yet, though its still within the first year and not electric (if that's where the parts issue is, I don't know).

      Bit nicer than that. The older one anyway.

      Wouldn't that be awesome. Loved the Celica, the mid-90s one.

    And the battery won't last long enough to get me to Cornwall so then I have to spend a lot more money recharging it at a higher rate than a home charger. My diesel can do the whole journey without refueling

      Yeah, and how often are you going to Cornwall? Every day? Once a month? Every summer?

      @@InsideChinaAuto never actually but I based it someone who goes once a month. I prefer ICE anyway

      @dangerman01582 Not sure what your charging prices are there for public chargers. I can imagine you're getting rinsed.

      Not sure exactly how much if there is any. It might already be included.
