‘Compensate for subsidy losses’
Maxus is offering its eDeliver 3 and eDeliver 9 vans. The fully electric pair will receive a lower price to compensate for the loss of the SEBA subsidy.
The subsidy fund for electric delivery vans ran out last month and the Chinese Maxus is now responding to this by offering a discount on the eDeliver 3 and the larger eDeliver 9. In this way, Maxus says it wants to ‘continue the subsidy’. This year there was a €4,500 subsidy available per electric van, but Maxus does not offer that as a discount on either the eDeliver 3 or the eDeliver 9. On average, almost, because with the first there is a €3,500 benefit and with the second up to €5,000. The starting price of the Maxus eDeliver 3 is €32,605 and the Maxus eDeliver 9 is on the order list from €59,825. Please note that these prices are exclusive of VAT.
For that money you get both vans as a closed van in the smallest size. In that case, the Maxus eDeliver has a loading space of 2.18 m long and with a volume of 4.8 cubic meters. A 122 hp and 250 Nm strong electric motor draws its power from a 50 kWh battery pack, good for a 238 km driving range (WLTP). The cheapest Maxus eDeliver 9 has a 204 hp electric motor and a 72 kWh battery pack, good for a 236 km driving range. In that version, the L2H2, you can use more than 9 square meters of loading space.
