As the flagship large electric van from the brand, the Maxus eDeliver 9 is an important vehicle for many large fleets in the UK who need to know that the Maxus eDeliver 9 range is enough to do a demanding day's work.
The large electric van is the zero-emission alternative to the diesel-powered Maxus Deliver 9, and as such the distance the eDeliver 9 can travel on a single charge is a critical factor, as it directly influences how much work can be completed.
A full day's work for an electric van isn't always dependent on a full battery, so it's also important to know the charging options available and the speed at which you can top up the battery. Alongside the Maxus eDeliver 9's range, we'll also delve into its battery specifications and charging performance, so keep reading to find out more.
While the common belief is that a bigger range is always better, the Maxus eDeliver 9's range has been designed to suit a diverse group of drivers. Instead of a single, large battery to please everyone, the eDeliver 9's battery options are tailored to meet a variety of needs.
The eDeliver 9's range is designed to comfortably exceed the daily average and offer enough extra miles to provide peace of mind.
At Launch: The eDeliver 9 is available with three distinct battery options. The largest of these offers an official WLTP-rated combined range of up to 185 miles (296 km), while the other batteries provide a combined range of up to 146 miles (235 km) and 112 miles (180 km), respectively.
Naturally, official figures can be optimistic, but our own testing indicates that the eDeliver 9 performs well in real-world conditions.
With a typical load and normal driving habits (unlike the controlled WLTP test cycle), we would estimate a real-world range of approximately 160 miles (257 km) for the largest battery. The mid-sized battery would likely achieve around 125 miles (201 km), and the smallest would be about 95 miles (153 km).
Adding a full payload of up to 1,200kg will reduce the range, but we believe the larger battery will still comfortably deliver over 130 miles on a single charge.
As a large van, it's no surprise that the Maxus eDeliver 9 dimensions mean that it is offered with substantial battery sizes, giving buyers multiple choices.
At Launch: Maxus simplified the purchasing process by offering three battery sizes for the eDeliver 9. The van is equipped with a usable battery capacity of either 51.5 kWh, 72 kWh, or 88.55 kWh.
Maxus has focused on advancing its battery technology to ensure durability and efficiency. The batteries are integrated directly into the vehicle's body, which helps improve stability, reduce overall weight, and boost the electric van's efficiency.
The eDeliver 9's charging system has been designed to meet the diverse requirements of its customer base. For this reason, all eDeliver 9 vans come with both slower AC and faster DC charging capabilities as standard.
AC Charging: The van is fitted with a standard 11kW onboard charger. Using a three-phase power supply, a full charge from 0-100% takes roughly 8.5 hours for the largest battery. The 72kWh battery requires about 8 hours, while the 51.5kWh battery takes around 6 hours.
If you are using a more common 7kW domestic wallbox, a full charge for the largest battery will take approximately 13 hours.
DC Fast Charging: This is the quickest way to charge the eDeliver 9, with a peak DC charging rate of up to 90kW.
A 20-80% charge can be achieved in as little as 45 minutes for all three battery sizes. The final 20% will take significantly longer but you should still be able to reach a full charge in about an hour.
