Comparison:
Range
The JAC E-JS1 touts a commendable range of 302 km (188 miles), ensuring those suburban jaunts or daily commutes are anxiety-free. The Nissan Leaf offers a slightly longer stretch at 364 km (226 miles), while the Chevrolet Bolt EV impresses with its gargantuan 416 km (258 miles) stints. Hyundai Kona Electric practically munches electrons with an astounding range of 484 km (301 miles). Meanwhile, the MG ZS EV delivers a respectable 273 km (169 miles), hardly causing any range-related panic.
Acceleration
While specific acceleration data for the JAC E-JS1 remains elusive, it lags behind the lot with its rather modest 61 horsepower. Conversely, the Nissan Leaf zips from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, and the Chevrolet Bolt EV, like a lightning bolt, sprints the same distance in about 6.5 seconds. The Hyundai Kona Electric hugs the asphalt with a spry 7.9-second 0 to 100 km/h time, whereas the MG ZS EV manages a decent 8.5 seconds.
Power
Pumping out 61 horsepower, the JAC E-JS1 finds itself at the junior league table compared to the others. Nissan Leaf flaunts its 147 horsepower, with the Chevrolet Bolt EV roaring ahead at 200 horsepower. The Hyundai Kona Electric isn’t subtle either, boosting 201 horsepower, while the MG ZS EV cruises at a comfortable mid-level with 143 horsepower.
Charging Time
The JAC E-JS1s 31.4 kWh battery recharges relatively swiftly, but specific times for a full charge remain under wraps. A leg up for the uninitiated, the Nissan Leaf typically clocks in about 8 hours on a standard 240V charger. The Chevrolet Bolt EV takes roughly 9 hours for a full battery day. Hyundai Kona Electric curtails downtime with its 9 hours and 35 minutes connected to a 7kW charger. The MG ZS EV, often cool as a cucumber, takes nearly 7 hours via a 7kW charger.
Price
Now for the wallet-blipper. The JAC E-JS1 sits comfortably at a remarkable price point of $18,990 (£15,000, €17,700). Meanwhile, the Nissan Leaf dents the pocket a bit heavier at around $27,400 (£22,000, €25,500). The Chevrolet Bolt EV is a steeper affair hovering around $31,000 (£25,000, €28,840). The Hyundai Kona Electric barrels in at an even dearer $37,000 (£29,900, €34,400). Lastly, the MG ZS EV lies comfortably in mid-tier territory at about $25,500 (£20,000, €23,710).
