New Chinese Medium Van from Maxus eats the miles and goes the distance!  

The guy who services our offices has an SAIC van, he looks after several sites, each one has an outdoor 13A power socket which he plugs into whilst working in the buildings, never had an issue with range as his route is fixed so milage is a known daily figure. Horses for courses !

A national parcel delivery company has been using these vans in my area for well over a year. They (I think) operate from a main depot around 35 miles from my village, and as they are usually only delivering parcels, the weights aren't massive. As I understand it, they have an arrangement/agreement with a local supermarket to use their chargers, should it be necessary.

Great to see this van being reviewed, thanks. At 1:02 I can see it fast charging, with the charge point centrally located to the side of the bay, that looks great. However, the majority of public EV bays I see and use, have the EV charger at the end of the bay and provide connection via relatively short cables. Do you think Maxus have made a mistake in having the charge port behind the passenger door? It looks like it could cause a few problems at public charge points. Which providers did you use during your time with the vehicle and did you have to avoid some charging locations? 1:28 example of the issue.

Cool always nice to see some new EV vehicles. But personally im dying for some Canoo updates. Shame the company aint giving much updates

Could you say anything to the e-pto posibilities? This should be very interesting when buildung up a campervan.

Very impractical place for the charging port

2:44 This outfit is very British. In a good way.

I like the Maxxus Vans. The charging though, that a bit conventional. Even though you say its a flat curve, 77 is too low. You would better have 100-125 on first 50 %. You can dan make shorter quick stops inbetween villages for instance. Fitting better with rest stops.

OMG, thought at first (5mins) that this was a pisstake of Robert Llewellyn of Fully Charged fame. How can someone have that many hand/arm jesters per minute!

The floor is very high. The height of the van is too high to get into car parks with a height restriction of 2 m. It's front wheel drive instead of rear wheel drive.

It looks like a very nice van. There is not too much to pick from here in Canada and the American based products are of questionable quality. The EV rollout here is going really slow and there is a lack of charging infrastructure that will take years to improve. I wouldn't consider an EV as a primary vehicle at this point in time, but perhaps in the future.

1500 or 1800 miles over 5 or 6 days - my head was starting to spin!

The only think of about the presenter is "Are you paying too much for your car insurance"

Would you ever do a video on the brand new Volkswagen e-transporter I do not like these Chinese vans they break down a lot I've made a video on my channel complain about them vans the just ripping off the ford transit nissan env200

Nice with all the extras,but let’s see a real test on a cold day,heater on and a ton payload on it doing numerous jobs during the day and see what the actual range will be👍🥳

5:23 "11kW" not "11kW an hour". Pretty sure you know that really.

Thanks for this review. Looks like a nice van with similar size/specs to the PSA and Ford vans (is it a bit cheaper than those?). 2.6m/kWh is marginally worse than 2.7 on the Buzz SWB/v1, but I think this vehicle is significantly larger? I await specs from the Buzz LWB/v2 (which should have been out this month in Europe?). I've just been driving a Vivaro B (diesel) round Europe and you can get a range of over 800miles if you drive like a flat-cap. I'm going to miss that with an EV.

Why can't Chinese EV just be original??? It didn't need to look like VW Bus to sell.

Soon as you said 200 mile range turned off these vans be like vito electric worth absolutely nothing in 12 months

Wouldn't have an EV even if they where given away for free.

Pine tree freshener?

The plaine crashed

To many ifs and buts looks a nice van but electric is not the future 🙁
