5. EV REVIEW: EV TIPS

Maxus T90EV

Maxus T90 - In a nutshell, the Maxus T90EV is a curiosity. It has a USP (it’s the UK’s only electric pick-up), but it also has limitations which would exclude it from many of its core buyers’ wish lists. We’ll come to its pros and cons later.

For now, let’s give the Maxus T90EV some context. Maxus is owned by Chinese automotive giant SAIC Motor, whose other brands include MG. SAIC began manufacturing commercial vehicles under the Maxus name in 2010, after buying LDV (Leyland DAF Vans).
