Are there any Electric Pick Ups on the market? Welcome the Maxus T90EV

[@bernardcharlesworth9860]

Good but I will wait for a ground up version.

[@alecking3096]

No Cruise Control, No DAB radio, No Android Auto. Why do they skimp on such basics?

[@robs9577]

This vehicle is clearly a gap filler for the market, it’s only function to be the first electric pickup. Many people (myself included) buy pickups to tow plant trailers, car trailers, horse boxes and caravans. Seeing as the 1000kg towing limit is useless for towing anything other than a small single axle trailer, it is irrelevant as a towing vehicle. The lack of a selectable 4WD system will also put a lot of people off, as even if only used occasionally, when it’s needed it’s needed. If you just want a big EV on your drive to take to the shops and on the school run though, knock yourself out! Or buy a smaller EV. It’ll be better.

Good for when you want body-on-frame and 1000kg payload, some roads don't allow trailers

I love your entusiasme man! Wow, you got really small compared to the car.

[@electricvanman]

Ha! It’s a big old truck… but does a great job 😃

[@EpicVideosH]

Lovely car , but you can’t compare it to my Barbarian l200 😂 .

[@electricvanman]

Horses for courses I guess! Having worked for that brand I know the pleasure they give in full off road mode!

[@rubendewulf]

no sound of diesel engine but apparently a constant sound of the electric motor? wouldn't this disturb over time?

[@electricvanman]

The sound is the legally required sound under 18mph. It goes when travelling above that speed 👍

What your not saying tells me everything I need to know

[@EVMan298]

You’re

[@maruad7577]

It has the same idiotic front end you see on pick up trucks in NA. Talk about crap design.

[@electricvanman]

Your not a fan of that then? Similar design to the L200 don’t you think?

[@maruad7577]

@@electricvanman It is not so much the single model as North American pick up trucks having absurdly large and tall front ends for no real reason other than marketing to men with insecurity issues.

[@johnraworth8019]

Mmmh ! Our Ifor Williams Horse trailer is the maximum weight before the horses are put in it ! . The front grill is absolutely hideous ! . Otherwise it's great for the school run with two kids and full satchels . Sorry not for me in the remote Highlands. Also too much electric tech to go wrong in the damp, wet and snowy winter months. Only 2WD?? You're having a laugh ! We will stick to our trusty Isuzu D'max !

[@electricvanman]

Well it’s not for everyone yet as there are limitations. That said the wet and damp would not be a problem anymore that it would be for a diesels with all the electrics etc on those. It won’t be long before you have a 4wd option and you already have pretty good charging around the highlands and Scotland in general 👍

[@johnraworth8019]

@@electricvanman Have you been to the Highlands, not the NC 500 but the real Highlands ! We have no TV signal , no WiFi, only a faint AM radio reception etc etc. Nearest charging point 15 miles away. We can't have one at home as our remote lane infrastructure is so old and delicate it can't take any more strain. Our Diesel D'max doesn't have crazy unnessecary electric stuff including computer screens screwed to the dashboard. It's relatively basic and that's the thing. Winter still gets down to minus 20 here. ! Climate change ? ) If you breakdown you're dead from hypothermia very quickly ! We all have different problems and aspects. In a town and EV is great but in the remote areas we are not there yet. Batteries don't like to be frozen overnight then worked hard the next day . I've been reading some very interesting stuff and not all good !.

[@EVMan298]

What a lot of nonsense

[@laserweb]
