E100 Overview:
Jiangling E-series (E100). Weighing only 825 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. The top speed reaches 100 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 4 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Jiangling E100 was primarily sold in the Chinese domestic market and has not undergone Euro NCAP testing. As a budget-oriented city EV from its era, safety features are likely basic, focusing on fundamental requirements rather than advanced crash protection.
15 kWh (27 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Designed purely for urban environments, the 27 Hp electric motor provides just enough power for city speeds and light acceleration, making highway travel impractical and top speed limited to 100 km/h.

The 15 kWh battery offers a modest 152 km range, suitable for daily city commutes with low running costs inherent to electric vehicles. Charging times are relatively quick due to the small battery size.
