Chery's New Fulwin T7 EV SUV Starts Under $15,000 with 600 km Range

Chery has officially launched the Fulwin T7, a compact electric SUV aimed squarely at China’s ultra-competitive budget segment. The model enters the market with a limited-time starting price of just 94,900 yuan (about $14,000), making it one of the most affordable EVs in its class.

Despite its low entry price, the T7 offers a claimed driving range of up to 600 km on a single charge, a figure that challenges many pricier rivals. The launch underscores how Chinese automakers are pushing cost efficiency while maintaining practical range expectations for everyday drivers.

Positioned as a value-driven option, the Fulwin T7 joins a crowded field of budget EVs in China. Chery’s strategy appears focused on volume and accessibility, hoping to attract first-time EV buyers who prioritize low upfront costs without sacrificing usable range for city commuting and regional travel.

As the budget EV war intensifies, the T7 could set a new benchmark for what consumers can expect at the $15,000 price point. Industry watchers will be keen to see how it performs against established players and emerging startups in the coming months.
