Electric car has lost 90 percent range in a year

In just over a year, a Neta Aya, a Chinese electric car that cost more than 74,000 kroner new, has lost 90 percent of its range.

A Chinese woman who bought an electric car in 2023 now has to live with the fact that it will never exceed 40 kilometers in range on a fully charged battery.

This is reported by Carnewschina .

The car, a Neta Aya, was purchased in May 2023. But now – a little more than a year and a half later – the car has lost almost all of its value. At least if you do that kind of thing in terms of range.

According to Carnewschina, an Aya cost $10,400 (equivalent to 74,000 Danish kroner) new. At that time, according to Chinese calculations, it could travel 400 kilometers on a single charge.

Today, according to the owner, it doesn't drive more than 60 kilometers on a good day, and 40 kilometers at its worst, because the battery is empty. The range is especially bad when the weather is cold.

However, help is hard to come by. Not only is the dealer where the car was purchased closed, but Neta can tell you that the battery has a fault and needs to be replaced completely. There are simply no new batteries in stock, and the next dealer in line has no way of replacing the battery pack.

The problems with the car mean that the owner cannot get to work. The car can travel 40 kilometers on a single charge, but the owner has 42 kilometers to work. In the past, the battery pack could hold power for 3-4 days of driving. But that was a long time ago.

The dealer also doesn't have a time frame to lean towards. The answer from here is that the earliest a battery can be put in the car is after New Year. It is not known whether the dealer means Chinese New Year (January 29, ed.).

Neta's customer service representative in China also does not have a more precise answer as to when a new battery pack may be ready.

Neta is also reportedly a brand in big trouble. The company is owned by the larger Hozon Auto group. But the cash register has apparently been hit, which means that Neta is close to bankruptcy.
