HOW CAPABLE IS THE MAXUS T90EV ELECTRIC PICKUP? LOAD VS ECONOMY & OFFROAD

EV Channels Review

The Maxus T90EV enters the UK market as the first all-electric pickup truck, offering a compelling blend of utility and electric powertrain benefits. The reviewer highlights its capability in various scenarios, from carrying a 350kg load of gravel with minimal impact on range to tackling challenging off-road terrain. Despite being rear-wheel drive, the T90EV demonstrates surprising off-road prowess, particularly when climbing obstacles, thanks to the instant torque of its electric motor. The reviewer notes a real-world range that, while initially variable, settles into a more accurate prediction after a few miles, with Eco mode proving most efficient. Positives include its robust build, comfortable ride, good visibility, and the potential for low Benefit in Kind tax for business users. However, the lack of all-wheel drive is a notable omission for a pickup, and the reviewer points out missing features like a DAB radio and reach adjustment for the steering wheel. Charging costs are also mentioned as not being cheap. Overall, the T90EV is presented as a capable and versatile electric pickup, especially for those who don't strictly require 4x4 capabilities.
