The JMEV EV3 is a battery electriccity car produced by JMEV. It was initially called the E300 before it was renamed to the EVeasy EV3 before sales began in March 2019.[1][2] It is the first vehicle fully developed by JMEV.[1] Starting in 2024, it was offered with an optional sodium-ion battery pack supplied by Farasis Energy, making it one of the first production vehicles to feature the battery chemistry.
The EV3 is a four-door, four-passenger sub-compact hatchback city car developed by JMEV. It was originally revealed as the E300 at the Auto Guangzhou 2018, before it went on sale in March 2019 as the EV3 after being moved to under the EVeasy sub-brand.[2][3]
It has a wheel track of 1,420mm (55.9in) with optional 15-inch wheels using 175/60 R15 tires, and a 51:49 weight distribution.[4] It has a height of 1,485mm (58.5in), or 1,494mm (58.8in) with optional roof racks. It uses a McPherson strut front suspension and a non-independent torsion beam rear suspension. With the rear seats folded down, it has a trunk space of 1,000 litres (35cuft).[5]
The DC fast charging port is located behind a door containing the front badge, while the AC charging port is located behind the left rear door. It has halogen headlights, LED daytime running lights, and optional fog lights. Color options include Lotus White, Blue, Acacia Grey, and Cinnabar Red with an available two-tone contrasting roof on some models.[6]
The dashboard features a standard reflector-style heads-up display, an optional multifunction steering wheel, and a centrally-positioned segmented LCD instrument cluster display behind a floating 8-inch infotainment display. The vehicle has several optional safety features, including a surround-view camera system, front and rear parking sensors, blind-spot detection, low speed auto-emergency braking, tire pressure monitoring, and two front airbags. Additionally, the EV3 supports a digital phone key feature, allowing a smartphone to lock and unlock the doors, start the vehicle, view the vehicle's status, and set the HVAC system temperature.[6] The central console contains the gear shift lever, along with Eco and Sport mode buttons.
It is powered by a choice of two electric motors, with outputs of 35kW (47hp; 48PS) and 150N⋅m (111lb⋅ft) of torque or 50kW (67hp; 68PS) and 180N⋅m (133lb⋅ft) or torque, with power supplied by a 31.9kWh NMC battery pack allowing for an NEDC range rating of 302 kilometres (188mi). The vehicle has a top speed of 102km/h (63mph).[7]
In 2021, the EV3 was slightly updated with an increased roof height of 1,535mm (60.4in), and many of the previously optional safety features became standard.[8]
2023 Youth Edition
In October 2023, JMEV revealed an updated model called the Youth Edition, which was sold alongside previous models as a different trim level.[9] It features minor styling changes to the front grille with a new diamond pattern with illuminating elements, and an array of new exterior colors, including Moonlight White, Tourmaline Green, Mint Green, and the two-tone Powder Pink, which comes with a white-painted floating roof. Additionally, exterior elements such as the door handles and mirror caps are painted in a contrasting color.[10] The interior also features new colorways, with a grey interior with the option of Chery Blossom Pink or Sea Blue accents.[4][7] The interior features an accented steering wheel with control buttons, and a 10.1-inch central infotainment screen that also serves as the instrument cluster; it no longer features a heads-up display.[5] Using a paired phone's data connection, the infotainment system can run services such as navigation, QQ Music, and Ximalaya, or use screen-mirroring of an Android device.[4] It also has available features such as 360-degree surround-view cameras and tire pressure monitoring.[5][9]
It has a 31.15kWh NMC battery pack with a CLTC range rating of 320 kilometres (199mi).[4][5] It has a motor capable of 36kW (48hp; 49PS) and 140N⋅m (103lb⋅ft) of torque.
In 2024, the vehicle was updated with a motor outputting 40kW (54hp; 54PS) and 110N⋅m (81lb⋅ft) of torque, increasing the CLTC range rating to 330 kilometres (205mi).[11]
Sodium-ion battery
On December 28, 2023 the first EV3 equipped with a sodium-ion battery was completed on the production line, and the new variant went on sale in 2024 slotting under the lithium-ion battery model in pricing. The battery pack is made by Farasis Energy for JMEV, and has a capacity of 21.4kWh allowing for a CLTC range rating of 251 kilometres (156mi).[12] The pack lacks a cold weather heating system, as the improved cold temperature performance inherent to the sodium chemistry allows for over 91% of charge capacity to be retained at −20°C (−4°F). The battery uses a hard carbon anode, and a layered oxide cathode and has an energy density of 140-160Wh/kg according to Farasis.[13] This version of the vehicle weighs 1,125 kilograms (2,480lb), and has an optional lower rated motor capable of 35kW (47hp; 48PS) and 110N⋅m (81lb⋅ft) or torque in addition to the previously available 36kW motor.
2025 Plus refresh
For 2025, the vehicle was refreshed with lightly updated exterior styling and a new powertrain, replacing all previous models with two trim levels. It adopts the exterior and interior updates seen in the Youth Edition, with minor updates such as a new aerodynamic wheel design. It is powered by a TZ180XS250 electric motor making 50kW (67hp; 68PS) and 125N⋅m (92lb⋅ft) of torque. Power is supplied by a Gotion built 30.24kWh air-cooled LFP battery pack capable of DC charging from 30-80% in 32 minutes, achieving a CLTC range rating of 330 kilometres (205mi). The vehicle weighs 1,060 kilograms (2,337lb), and top speed remains at 102km/h (63mph).[14][15][16][17]
