Dongfeng 007 Electric

Test drove this car after visiting the Volt showroom. It's super sexy looking and i was excited. I tested both the Cat A and Cat B version, and honestly it was a big let down. The version sold in Singapore doesn't have the very sexy electric spoiler that is available in China and the UAE. There's no app. NO APP!! It's 2026 soon, and this brand still does not have an app??? Feels like although they are supposed to be one of the large state owned brands, they are still start-ups in the EV car segment, so I think it's a massive risk to buy one of these cars now. Volt, the distributor is also a new start-up. The showroom is bare bones and does not inspire trust that they will take care of you in case something happens, and the risk of something happening with Chinese EVs is really high, so not sure if it's worth the risk. The Cat A version is cheap, but it's only 58KWh, which is ridiculously low, good for only around 300+km range on a full charge. The sales guy claims it's 500+ km, but their own written specs declare the range as 6km/KWh so you just do the math yourself. It's pathetic. If you own this, be prepared to be charging your car every 4-5 days.... Read More
