Ora Good Cat vs Civic FAQ
How long does charging take?
The Ora Good Cat's 57.7 kWh battery takes about 8.7 hours for a full AC charge, and an estimated 65 minutes from 10% to 80% on a DC fast charger at its 60 kW peak.
Which one is locally assembled?
The Civic is assembled in Malaysia (CKD), while the Ora Good Cat is fully imported (CBU) from Thailand. Local assembly generally helps pricing and spare-parts supply, and CKD programmes usually signal a longer-term commitment to the model here.
