GWM has built its first Ora 03 in Thailand, claiming this is the first time a Chinese OEM has mass produced an EV outside China.

S-Volt, a GWM Holdings group company, is the primary battery supplier for the Thai Ora.

Thai production will require 60,000 battery packs.

The Thai plant has already built hybrid models and about 10,000 imported Ora models have already been sold since launch in October 2021.
