Just when the world thought affordable EV sports cars were a fantasy, China drops a thunderbolt—the JMEV 01. A roadster that looks like a Ferrari, sprints like a Lamborghini, but costs less than a family SUV. Under $32K. Zero to 60 in under 2 seconds. This isn’t a concept or a teaser—it’s real, it’s launched, and it might just flip the global EV market on its head.
A $32K Electric Roadster That Hits 0–60 in 2 Seconds? Meet the JMEV 01
In a move that could rattle Tesla’s dominance in the performance EV segment, Chinese automaker JMEV has unveiled a shocker: a fully electric roadster priced at just $32,000—and it’s no slouch. Dubbed the JMEV 01, this pint-sized powerhouse rockets from 0–60 mph in just under 2 seconds. Yes, you read that right.
Ferrari-Inspired Looks, Lightning Speed
The JMEV 01 brings back the charm of the classic roadster—long hood, short tail, and a wide, low-slung body—but infuses it with the aggressive soul of a track-ready racer. Sharp intakes and an aero-optimized front make it look more Ferrari than budget EV. And with a curb weight of just 1,365 kg, it moves like one too.
429 HP, 311-Mile Range, and Real-World Usability
Under the sleek hood lies a dual-motor setup delivering a wild 429 horsepower. Combined with a 60kWh battery pack and 500 km range (CLTC), the JMEV 01 doesn’t just perform—it travels. Fast charging support lets you juice from 30% to 80% in just 36 minutes, making it practical for daily thrills.
Value That Breaks the Mold
At 229,800 CNY (around $32,000), the JMEV 01 massively undercuts its only true rival—the MG Cyberster—while offering comparable or better performance. There's no doubt it’s priced to disrupt, not just compete.
A Tesla Roadster Rival in Disguise?
While Tesla’s Roadster 2.0 continues to be delayed and priced out of reach, the JMEV 01 silently takes the stage with real-world specs and street-ready pricing. Could this be the affordable EV roadster the world’s been waiting for?
Rumors: Is JMEV Planning a Global Debut?
While the JMEV 01 has officially launched in China, rumors are swirling that the company may be quietly working on a global version with upgraded safety tech and wider charging compatibility. Some industry insiders even suggest that JMEV could showcase a concept version at major international auto expos in late 2025, possibly eyeing European and Southeast Asian markets first.
