The '''Roewe E50''' is an all-electric car that is manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Roewe.

==Overview== The E50 was originally unveiled as the E1 concept car at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/2012/05/saics-first-pure-electric-car-roewe-e50-to-hit-market-in-october/|title=SAIC's First Pure-Electric Car, Roewe E50, to Hit Market in October |author= |publisher=ChinaAuto Web|date=2012-05-26|accessdate=2013-02-09}}</ref> In November 2012, SAIC Motor introduced the production version of the Roewe E50, a four-seater supermini sized hatchback for the market in China.

thumb|left|Roewe E50 (rear) The E50 has a 47&nbsp;kW motor and an 18&nbsp;kWh battery pack supplied by A123 Systems that delivers a range of {{convert|180|km|abbr=on}} and a top speed of up to {{convert|120|km/h|abbr=on}}. The E50 uses several lightweight materials from Evonik to reduce energy consumption and to achieve lower emissions.

In 2012, the electric car pricing started at {{Yuan|234,900}} ({{USD|37,589}}) before available government incentives, and SAIC's goal was to sell 1,000 units within the first year in the market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greencarcongress.com/2012/11/e50-20121104.html|title=SAIC introducing Roewe E50 electric vehicle in China|author=Roewe Press Release|publisher=Green Car Congress|date=2012-11-04|accessdate=2013-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/2012/11/all-electric-saic-roewe-e50-hits-the-market-at-us37589/|title=All-Electric SAIC Roewe E50 Hits the Market at US$37,589 |author= |publisher=ChinaAuto Web|date=2012-11-05|accessdate=2013-02-09}}</ref> Retail deliveries began in Shanghai in January 2013.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}

The E50 is subject to a cash rebate of {{Yuan|60,000}} ({{USD|9,648}}) from the central government, another {{Yuan|40,000}} ({{USD|6,432}}) from the Shanghai municipal government, and also is exempted from the city's license plate fee, which by January 2013 had a cost of {{Yuan|75,000}} ({{USD|12,060}}), but the new energy car plates, or EV plates, are non transferable.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}

As of 2013, these incentives were thought to make the E50 competitive with the price of an economy family car.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/business/2013-01/24/content_16168963.htm|title=SAIC delivers first battery-powered car|author= He Wei|work=China Daily |date=2013-01-24|accessdate=2013-02-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Roewe E50 first drive review|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/roewe-e50-first-drive-review|website=Autocar|accessdate=28 January 2015|date=23 July 2013}}</ref>
