Clean, emissions-free personal mobility is made even more accessible thanks to a recent partnership between Jetour Auto Philippines and Maybank Philippines. To commemorate World Environment Day on June 5th, 2023, both brands have taken the initiative to raise awareness on electric vehicles to promote sustainability. The collaboration between the two is geared towards encouraging the adaption of electric vehicles (EVs) and supporting an environmentally friendly lifestyle. One of those ways with emissions-free mobility offered by the Jetour Ice Cream electric vehicles (EVs), made even more attainable with Maybank’s support in providing affordable options for EV ownership. Maybank provides a low-down payment of 15% or a monthly amortization as low as P7,339, making it easier for individuals to own an electric vehicle. The Jetour Ice Cream EV is a small but very practical electric vehicle. It has U-shaped smiling LED daytime running lights that add a touch of charm and playfulness to the vehicle's design. The lights' unique shape contributes to the Ice Cream EV's overall cute and distinctive look. Inside, the interior features high-grade gaming chairs for comfort during drives. The use of high-grade materials ensures durability and long-lasting comfort, enhancing the overall driving experience for a maximum of four people. The driver gets a multi-info display that also serves as an infotainment unit, steering-wheel controls for phones, audio functions, and eco and sport driving modes, and a reverse camera. It’s available in four colors named after ice cream flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Matcha. Powering it is a 20kWh E-motor that delivers a maximum speed output of above 100 km/h and a peak torque of 85-Nm. The motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery with a 13.9 kwH power capacity and 220V charging plug. It can drive as far as 170-km on a single charge. The Ice Cream EV offers ample distance coverage for typical daily commuting and short trips. This makes it ideal for running errands, going to the store, or visiting nearby malls without worrying about range anxiety. With a starting price of ₱699,000, it also comes with an eight-year battery warranty or 120,000 km, whichever comes first, and a three-year vehicle warranty or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. The Jetour Ice Cream EV is positioned as one of the most affordable full electric cars in the market, making them more accessible to a broader range of customers. This also makes them number coding-exempted.
