GWM sweetens Ora 5 electric SUV launch with complimentary wall charger for novated lease buyers

The offer: a free 7kW wall charger, with conditions

GWM Australia has added a home charging incentive to its launch campaign for the all-new Ora 5 electric SUV. As listed on the brand's Australian website, buyers who purchase a new Ora 5 through an eligible participating novated lease provider receive a complimentary 7kW wall charger valued at $599 RRP including GST, provided the vehicle is delivered on or before 31 October 2026. The offer is limited to one charger per eligible vehicle, is available only while stocks last at participating GWM dealers, and cannot be combined with any other offer. ¹

The promotion is explicitly exclusive to novated lease purchases. GWM's Australian site names the eligible providers as Maxxia, RemServ, Oly, Smart, SG Fleet, Paywise, Novated Lease Australia, Flare HR and FleetPartners (Remunerator). The charger is supplied with the vehicle at delivery or arranged for delivery directly to the customer by the supplying dealer. ¹

Installation is not included in the offer. GWM's terms make clear that any installation costs are the responsibility of the customer, and the offer is not redeemable for cash or transferable. GWM Australia also reserves the right to vary, extend or withdraw the offer at any time without notice. ¹

Ora 5 pricing and range positioning in Australia

According to GWM Australia's model page, the Ora 5 range is priced from $33,990 driveaway for the Lux and $36,990 driveaway for the Ultra, with that driveaway figure stated for private buyers in Victoria. The brand notes the vehicle is landing in dealerships now, with test drives available. ¹

On paper, the Ora 5 pairs a 58.33kWh battery with a 150kW front-wheel-drive electric motor producing 260Nm, delivering up to 435km of WLTC range. GWM Australia describes that range figure as indicative, noting real-world results will vary with battery condition, driving style, use of heating and cooling, traffic and weather. Claimed consumption is 15.5kWh/100km, with DC fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent in 30 minutes on a 120kW charger, and AC charging from 0 to 100 per cent in approximately 6.6 hours via a 6.6kW supply. ¹

GWM's Australian specifications list a 14.6-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker DTS sound system, a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, 18-inch alloy wheels and a six-way electric driver seat. Every Ora 5 also comes with an integrated spare tyre, and the brand quotes up to 362L of cargo space, a 750kg towing capacity and Vehicle-to-Load output of up to 6kW. ¹

Warranty coverage includes an eight-year unlimited-kilometre battery pack warranty, alongside GWM Care roadside assistance support, as described on the Australian model page. ¹

A familiar sweetener: charger bundles in other markets

The free-charger approach is not unique to Australia. In Nepal, EV News Nepal reported on 30 September 2026 that GWM's "Go With More" festive offer bundles a 7kW charger, free comprehensive insurance, road tax, a spare tyre and accessories, with benefits worth up to Rs. 2,00,000 on the Ora 5 and up to Rs. 3,00,000 on the Haval Jolion Max EV. The Ora 5 was launched there at introductory prices of Rs. 46,99,000 for the Mid variant and Rs. 51,99,000 for the High variant, with a claimed 430km WLTP range. ³

EV News Nepal's report framed the bundled charger as arguably the most useful part of the package for an EV owner, making overnight home charging practical for buyers who might otherwise rely on a slow 3.3kW supply or public stations. That outlet also cautioned that "up to" benefit figures depend on what the buyer chooses, and advised customers to have the benefit value itemised in writing. ³

In Thailand, a GWM Phuket dealership page promotes Ora 5 EV offers tied to the Big Motor Sale, including monthly finance from 6,579 baht over up to 84 instalments, a GWM Pro Service Inclusive maintenance package covering five years or 100,000km, free first-class insurance and free scheduled maintenance labour. Earlier Thai reporting in April 2026 noted the Ora 5 became available for booking and test drives across 70 locations nationwide. These are separate, market-specific promotions and do not apply in Australia. ⁴²

What buyers should check

For Australian buyers considering the offer, the mechanics matter as much as the headline. The charger is tied to novated lease channels rather than private cash or standard finance purchases, the delivery deadline of 31 October 2026 is fixed under GWM's published terms, and the $599 RRP covers the unit only — not installation. Whether the charger arrives with the car or separately is arranged through the supplying dealer. ¹

GWM's published terms also leave room for change: the offer is available only while stocks last at participating dealers, and the company reserves the right to vary, extend or withdraw it at any time without notice. Novated lease pricing itself will vary depending on the provider and the buyer's circumstances, so the effective deal requires comparison beyond the charger value alone. ¹
