SC01 Electric Sports Car: Top 10 Powerful Features and Facts

As we proceed in the future, technology advances. It is undeniable that technology will elevate the EV industry to a new level. SC01 Electric Sports Car is one such advancement in the EV industry.

There are many top brands in the EV sector, and one of them is JMEV. JMEV (Jiangxi Jiangling Group New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd.) is an automobile joint venture headquartered in Nanchang, China.

JMEV is almost at then end of its production for the SC-01 Electric sports car, which will impress you by its look, by its design and its performance. This EV is targeting the youth of the world.

Let us talk about the Top 10 Features and Facts about SC01 Electric Sports Car – an electric car from China.

SC01 Electric Sports Car: Top 10 Features and Facts

 

 

1. Affordable

 

The SC01 car is affordable and is within the reach of middle-class people. The JMEV company has priced the car at $31,500 (26,96,420 INR). In India, sports cars are only meant for the affluent class. Though SC-01 is not exactly for the middle class but upper middle class in India. But seeing its performance and looks like ‘Tarzan – the wonder car‘, it is worth it. It is an affordable car with comparable performance to rivals like the Mazda Miata.

Next, talking about the specs and performance of the SC01 car, it gives a lot more at this price range. The JMEV SC-01 is powered with a 429 HP, which makes it accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in only 2.9 seconds. This is amazing.

• Dual Electric Motors with 429 horsepower for powerful acceleration.

• 0–100 km/h in 2.9 Seconds, which gives Supercar-level quickness.

• Mid-Engine-Style Battery Placement – 60 kWh battery located behind seats for ideal weight distribution.

• Torque Vectoring Capability – Independent rear motors improve cornering precision.

• Low and Wide Stance – Enhances aerodynamics and road grip.

2. Build quality

Another point worth mentioning is that the build quality of SC01 is great. It is very lightweight with just 1,365 kg (3,009 lbs). The top reasons for it being light weight despite giving high performance are its tubular space frame instead of traditional heavy chassis, compact size, minimal interiors ( with one screen for the driver, physical buttons for key functions, and a sporty steering wheel though a negative point) as the focus is on performance, a moderate sized 60kWh battery as compared to 70–100+ kWh in many premium EVs.

3. A minimalist, driver-focused interior

As mentioned in the earlier point, the SC01 does not use a traditional touchscreen infotainment system like most modern electric cars. Instead, it has a minimalist, driver-focused interior with just one small screen behind the steering wheel with physical buttons. For many, it is a disadvantage, but this keeps the car lightweight and driver wont have any distractions while driving the car which improves the safety.

4. Lightweight

 

The next point explains the previous point. The SC-01 is also lightweight because of the unique battery placement, unlike other EVs. the SC01’s 60 kWh battery is positioned behind the seats which improves weight distribution and COG (Center of Gravity).

5. SC01 vs SC05

 

Let us also make a small comparison between SC01 and SC05: Though SC05 has not yet been released but people are curious about SC05 as well. Proper specs are not yet revealed, but as per the AIEVera team research, the SC01 focuses on lightweight, sporty driving, affordability, whereas the SC05 may target broader utility or luxury in future models.

6. A good running range

 

SC-01 has a good running range. The manufacturers boast a 520 km (CLTC- China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) range, which means that it can go up to 300 km ( or 186 miles) in real-world daily use. This is a good range considering its performance. The range has also increased

7. Compact design

 

The SC01 has compact dimensions, due to which its running range has increased, though is is slightly larger than a Mazda Miata, but with lower height and also due to its aerodynamic shape, like a bullet train or similar to a kingfisher bird.

 

8. Advanced Torque Vectoring

 

Moreover, since SC-01 has one motor per rear wheel, it has a lot of torque vectoring, which is helpful for sharper cornering and better driving control, which matter a lot while driving in the real world with multiple variables.

9. Backed by a tech EV Giant

 

The SC-01 is backed by a tech EV Giant JMEV and is built by Tianjin Gongjiang Pai Auto Tech and backed by Xiaomi. Due to this, SC01 represents a tech-driven approach to EVs.

 

10. No frunk

The SC-01 has no front or rear trunk (frunk), which means that there is no traditional cargo space at all.

Why? Because its design prioritises light weight and compactness over practicality. All the space is occupied in performance-related components, like the battery behind the seats and motors at the rear wheels. So, while it is a supercar, please don’t expect it to carry your groceries or luggage like a regular EV.

So, what are your thoughts on the SC-01 sports car? Though it has both positive and negative points but everything boils down to pricing and features. All the cost-cutting has been done in the interiors, but the car is sporty in terms of external looks and performance. In short, the SC-01 is not a luxury EV, but it’s a true driver’s car. For those who prioritise looks, speed, and affordability over fancy interiors or cargo space, it’s a fantastic option. At this price, you get sports car performance without breaking the bank.
