The compact electric JAC EV 3 with a range of 405 kilometers comes with a price of $ 12,600. JAC Motors has officially launched its affordable electric hatchback. The car, which has a starting price of 12,600 dollars/89,900 RMB, offers a range of 405 kilometers with a 95 horsepower engine and 41 kWh battery.

JAC EV 3, which has a 136 HP engine and 51.5 kWh battery in its upper version, can reach a range of 505 kilometers on a full charge.

Despite its affordable price, the car with a heat pump is the first model to use Tesla-style 4680 large cells produced in China. It should also be noted that the vehicle’s battery is directly integrated into the chassis. In this way, it gains an advantage over its competitors in terms of production cost and weight.

The 4-meter compact vehicle features one of the largest glass roofs in its segment at 1.45 square meters and a large 15.6-inch infotainment screen. The EV 3 is powered by custom software based on Huawei’s HarmonyOS operating system.
