The Wuling Bingo was already cheaper than the Suzuki Alto here, and the latest price cut has made it even more affordable. Plus, in addition to the price reduction, those who place an order for the Bingo EV during the discount validity period will get a free 3.5 kW charging pile, a lifetime warranty for the first owner, and a financial interest discount.
Under the hood, the entry-level Wuling Bingo comes equipped with a 30-kW (41 hp) electric motor and 17.3-kWh LFP battery which is good for 203 km of CLTC range. Then there is a more powerful electric motor for 50 kW (68 hp) with a bigger 31.9 kWh battery (that also supports DC fast charging) for a range of 333 km. According to Wuling, the Bingo can be fast charged from 30% to 80% in 35 minutes, while with the AC charging, it will take 9.5 hours from dead to fully charge the battery.
In recent months we have seen quite a few EV launches in Pakistan, including the Seres 3, MG5 SW, MG4 & ZS EV, Huazi Omega, Volt EV, and Ora 3 EV. The company that comes in the best position to bring the Bingo EV to Pakistan is MG, as it comes under the umbrella of SAIC Motor which is also the parent of the Wuling brand. While Javed Afridi has teased a few Wuling cars on its social handles, he has yet to make a tweet about the Bingo EV which is already available in Indonesia.
