Thanks for the video, it is good to see you doing real world driving, it was very helpful just like your other videos. Great stuff please keep them coming
That appears to work out at nearly 3 miles per KWh, depending on how much of the battery is available, which is pretty impressive. Much better than the MSM would have us believe!
No heat pump, they have a PTC heater. If you look at this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175589164920 you can see the orange high voltage connector on the PTC heater. As for battery degradation, I've not found anything that can read/measure this. But they have an LFP battery and you really don't need to worry about it. In most cases, the battery will outlast the van!
I would have said "no". But then I've tested this today and filmed it, so will upload the video later this afternoon. The answer is probably still "no" for most people, but there is one scenario when manual pre-conditioning does work.

Thanks 👍
Good, someone telling it like it is, unlike these "professional" UA-cam presenters simply repeating information from manufacturers' crib sheets.
thanks
Not bad really considering the conditions and the length of the journey...not to mention the McDonald's stop!

The reality is that it would be far better if I drove for longer, as there was a lot of energy used for initial heating and parked up for 25 mins.
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming.
Will do. Currently 25 videos stacked up, which will continue to be released 1 or 2 per week.
Another cracking video, I am a fan!
Thanks
What's battery degradation like on these, and is it a heatpump..? :)

Can you not have it plugged in and heating the car at the same time before you set off to not batter the range?

useful - had to sub.
Thanks. Another Maxus video coming next week.
So a 35 kwh in a van gets similar range to a Nissan Leaf, ouch.
Yes, but its a big box, not an aerodynamic hatchback. The eD3 one of the most efficient electric vans and is available with a 52kWh battery also.
