The Maxus EV30 is an electric light commercial 4-door van designed and produced by the Chinese automaker Maxus since 2018.
Overview
[edit]The Maxus EV30 was launched on the Chinese car market in January 2019 as a mid-size electric distribution van of the Maxus brand.
Specifications
[edit]The Maxus EV30 is a standard 2-seater panel van and is equipped with a powertrain that produces 94 hp (70 kW) of power and 220 N.m (162 lb.ft) of torque powering the front wheels. The EV30 is capable of a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph), and accelerates to 50 km/h in 5 seconds. The EV30 for the Chinese market is a pure electric vehicle (BEV) that is equipped with a 35 kWh battery mounted under the load floor and delivering a range of 235 km (147 miles) rated by NEDC.[1]
As a purpose-built electric van design, the EV30 is complete with aluminum monocoque construction and a composite front end.[2] The EV30 has a ground clearance of 145 mm (6.0 inches), and comes standard with 15-inch steel wheels. The maximum payload capacity for the Chinese market model is 830 kg (1,830 lbs) and the load volume is 5 cubic meters. As of 2019, pricing for the Maxus EV30 in China ranges from 128,700 to 144,900 yuan before incentives.[1] The EV30 is equipped with a MacPherson strut and leaf-spring configuration that is more focused on load taking.[3]
In selected markets, the EV30 would be offered in both short and long-wheelbase EV30L variants which carry 4.8 and 6.3 cubic meters respectively. The short and long-wheelbase variants are equivalent to traditional small and medium-van segments. The short-wheelbase variant measures 4.5m with a payload of 905 kg and the long-wheelbase variant increased the wheelbase by 375mm and reached a length of 5.1m with a payload of 1,020 kg.[3]

Compared to the Chinese EV30, the eDeliver 3 is a right-hand drive and features barn doors for the tailgate.[2] The Maxus eDeliver 3 vans were exported from China, and the UK is the first export market to launch the vehicle.[4]
There are two battery packs offered on the eDeliver 3 for the UK; a 35kWh and a 52.5kWh, returning a range of 98 miles and 150 miles respectively rated via the NEDC cycle. A rapid charge to around 90% of the battery takes 45 minutes, while a Type 2 full battery charge would take seven hours.[3] Three-wheelbase variants are available in the UK which include a short or long-wheelbase panel van and an extended-wheelbase platform chassis.
