Bandung – PT Wuling Motors Indonesia introduced their newest electric car, BinguoEV at GIIAS 2023 Bandung. This car, which has a hatchback style, immediately became the center of attention of visitors at the largest automotive exhibition which was held for the first time in the city of Bandung.

Wuling BinguoEV offers two battery capacities with a range of 333 km and 410 km.

“So Binguo is the second (electric) vehicle from Wuling Motors. We are bringing Wuling Binguo to Indonesia in 2 battery options, so, the first is a battery for cruising 333 km, the second is 410 km,” said Wuling Motors PR Manager Brian Gomgom, Wednesday ( 11/22/2023).

In terms of specifications, the Wuling BinguoEV is marketed with an IP67 certified Lithium Ferro Phosphate battery. The first trim with a capacity of 31.9 kWh can go up to 333 km, and the highest trim with a capacity of 37.9 kWh can go up to 410 km.

Regarding size, the Wuling BinguoEV is bigger than the Air EV. This car has dimensions of 3,950 mm in length, 1,708 mm in width and 1,580 mm in height. Apart from that, BinguoEV has 15 inch rims wrapped in 185/60 rubber.

At GIIAS Bandung, Wuling has started to open pre-book facilities. During this pre-book period, Wuling provides a special lifetime guarantee for the 410 km BinguoEV variant.

“So, during the pre-book period, we are presenting the special package, including a lifetime guarantee, for lifetime EV components. So, that is the attraction of BinguoEV,” he explained.

Opened on November 16, Wuling claims that many people have pre-booked the BinguoEV. According to Brian, this indicates the great enthusiasm of the automotive market for electric vehicles.

“Yes, if we look at yesterday’s response, there has been a lot of response, right? As for the numbers, we are still calculating, later we will also announce how many numbers there will be at the launch. But what is certain is that currently the response is very large,” said Brian.

Furthermore, Brian said that the electric car market in Bandung has great potential. Because sales of the first generation Wuling electric product, namely Air EV, in Bandung reached 40 percent of total sales.

“Bandung is also dominant in Wuling’s sales contribution in Bandung, Air REV’s contribution itself is almost 40%. So, it seems like Bandung has different potential for electric cars, it is ready for electric cars like that,” he said.

“In Bandung itself, sales from January to October for retail sales totaled 824 units, of which 40% or 353 units were Wuling Air REV,” concluded Brian.
