THRIVE verdict
A compact-capacity large electric van hampered by below-median payload, volume, range and charging speed.
The eDeliver 9 L2 H2 FWD 77kWh is a large panel van built for electric operation, with plug-in grant eligibility helping the business case. But on the numbers that matter for daily work, it sits in the lowest quarter of its class: payload of 1,040kg (median 1,260kg), load volume of 9.7m³ (median 13m³) and braked towing of 1,500kg (median 2,500kg) are all behind the pack.
Range and charging reinforce the picture. Official WLTP range of 171 miles is in the lowest quarter of electric large vans (median 235 miles), and peak DC charging of 78kW, giving a 10-80% top-up in 51 minutes, is also in the bottom quarter (median 130kW). For multi-drop or long-radius work this will mean more frequent, slower stops than rivals.
Against named alternatives it's a mixed picture: the Renault Master E-Tech MM35 offers similar payload (1,030kg) but more volume, longer range and higher towing at £42,500. The Farizon SV L2 H2 beats it on payload (1,245kg) and range (188 miles) for £47,000. The diesel Ford Transit DCiV Trend trades payload (968kg) for stronger towing (2,800kg) and more volume.
Best for
- Urban, shorter-radius delivery runs where range limits are manageable
- Operators prioritising grant-eligible electric running over outright payload
- Fleets with access to depot charging rather than reliance on fast public DC
Think twice
- Payload is in the lowest quarter for large vans, check it covers your typical load
- Load volume and towing are both below class median
- Range and DC charging speed trail most electric large van rivals

What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 3, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 3, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 3m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 3,019mm, 1,366mm between the wheel arches, 1,802mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 340kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,652mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Electric or diesel?
How the Maxus eDeliver 9 L2 H2 FWD 77kWh compares with Ford Transit DCiV Trend 350E LWB-E H3 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual RWD, the closest alternative across the electric line, for a typical working day.
Workable, with planning
- Range. 100 miles a day is close to a planning range of about 120 miles: workable, but cold or heavily loaded days may need a top-up.
- Payload. The electric version carries 72kg more (1,040kg against 968kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 1,500kg electric, 2,800kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10p a mile against 25.6p for diesel: roughly £3,900 a year less at 25,000 miles.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 1,500kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 171-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.35 kWh a mile: THRIVE's typical figure for an electric van (this van's usable battery is not verified).
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Ford Transit DCiV Trend 350E LWB-E H3 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual RWD's official 29.4mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
