Imagine diving into the world of electromobility for the first time and having a whole week to get to know this new way of driving. This is exactly what Godi experienced when he was allowed to test drive the JAC e-JS4 as the first e-test driver. Without any previous experience with electric cars, this test drive became an exciting journey of discovery into the future of mobility for him.
"At first, I was skeptical as to whether an electric car could really make my everyday life easier," Godi said. "But after the first few kilometers, I was pleasantly surprised." Godi, who lives in the canton of Bern and works as a businessman, had previously only driven combustion cars. But his curiosity about electromobility led him to sign up for our first e-Testdriver competition. This enabled him to integrate the JAC e-JS4 electric SUV into his everyday life for a week and test it extensively.
- How does an electric SUV compare to conventional cars?
- What are the biggest challenges and benefits in everyday life?
- Were there any problems when converting to an e-car?
Godi answered these and other questions in an interview after his test week. Join us on this journey and find out how the JAC e-JS4 has positively changed the life of an electric car novice.
The switch to electric: a gentle adjustment
"I used to drive a VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI with automatic transmission, so the switch to electric driving was surprisingly easy," Godi said. He found the stronger braking effect as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator and the significantly lower noise level while driving particularly noticeable. These differences were immediately noticeable and helped to make the adjustment to the JAC e-JS4 very straightforward overall.
The first impression of the JAC e-JS4
Visually, the JAC e-JS4 immediately made a very positive impression on Godi. "The car looks really good, and it's bigger than I expected," he said. The interior was also impressive - functional and well equipped, it left a lasting impression. Overall, the JAC e-JS4 offered a coherent overall picture from the very beginning.
Driving highlights: acceleration and comfort
Godi was particularly impressed by the rapid acceleration of the JAC e-JS4 and how well the vehicle handles in bends. "The driving experience was comfortable and smooth, and the spacious trunk offers plenty of room for luggage and shopping," he reported. These features make driving the JAC e-JS4 a real pleasure and underline the advantages of an electric SUV in everyday life.
Potential for improvement: Small details
Of course, there is still room for improvement in the JAC e-JS4. "I missed the automatic windshield wiper function and the blind spot warning for the side mirrors," explained Godi. Such small details could further optimize the driving experience and increase comfort.
Advantages over combustion engines: Price-performance ratio
After his week of testing, Godi sees clear advantages of the JAC e-JS4 compared to combustion vehicles. He particularly emphasizes the price-performance ratio: "The lower maintenance costs and the efficiency of the electric drive are convincing arguments for me to switch to an electric car," he explained.
Surprises: Positive driving dynamics
One of the biggest positive surprises for Godi was the driving dynamics of the JAC e-JS4. "The acceleration and cornering grip exceeded my expectations," he said. These aspects show that electric cars are not only environmentally friendly, but can also impress in terms of driving pleasure and dynamics.

Why did Godi sign up for the AutoScout24 e-Testdriver? "I had never driven an electric car before and wanted to use this opportunity to gain some initial experience," he said. Curiosity about something new was his main motivation.
Range: Sufficient for everyday use
The JAC e-JS4's range of around 400 kilometers proved to be more than sufficient for Godi's needs. He found it particularly practical that he could charge the car at his place of work, which made his everyday life much easier.
Future prospects: switch to electric desirable
After this week with the JAC e-JS4, Godi can well imagine switching to an electric car. "The advantages in terms of purchase and maintenance costs are clear to me," he concluded. The JAC e-JS4 convinced him in many ways and showed him that the future of mobility can not only be environmentally friendly, but also comfortable and exciting.
