    I was curious how these fit into the V2X "big rolling battery" category with that battery size.

    Sigenergy claims to have tested a Maxus eDeliver 9 in the UK for V2X with their DC charger. Maxus Vans = LDV Vans

    https://www.sigenergy.com/au/products/dc-charger

    Though not officially supported from a quick google:

    In cooperation with Ambibox, the Chinese manufacturer Maxus has successfully tested bidirectional charging with the eDeliver 5, eDeliver 7 AWD and the eTerron 9. The Euniq 6, Mifa 9, electric pickup T90 EV, eDeliver 3, eDeliver 9 and the two front-wheel drive versions of the eDeliver 7 are not currently suitable for this.

    • scott on 06/08/2025 - 11:04

      The e-deliver 9 does not have v2l as standard.

      If that feature is important for your use case, you could consider the Ford etransit. It's discounted at a dealer level, for example the below asking $60k.

      https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/ford/transit/listing…

      Personally not sold on v2g. For me, the best use of the cycle life of a vehicle battery, is using as a vehicle. If we need grid batteries, let them be stationary ones especially designed for the purpose.

      Also that battery charger you reference costs $10,000.

    Interesting, I wonder how the people who bought one near full price feels.

    For 50k plus ORC that's pretty cheap.

    If you are using as a courier or some sort of transportation. Write off 20% depreciation expense in first year.

    50k/7 years/ 52 weeks. Each week works out to be around $137.

      From what I've seen I doubt they'd last 7 years

        same lol i saw some guy in a video getting into a car and pulling the steering wheel and the whole wheel came off haha but for a temu car it's not too expensive. If it dies on the 6th year, would they replace with a new one or give you something equivalent condition?

      • felixfurtak on 05/08/2025 - 23:06

        It comes with a 7 year warranty so should be fine.

        • limepanda on 06/08/2025 - 08:11

          All I'm saying is I've seen a huge number dumped at the wholesale DVA within a few years of being new, and heard rumours of them weaseling out of warranty by saying improper use / lack of maintenance.

        • Fragluton on 06/08/2025 - 09:28

          Warranty is dependent on the company or side company that sells it to you. If they close up you have a big paperweight.

          • scott on 06/08/2025 - 11:09

            @Fragluton: LDV is a SAIC brand. It's the worlds #7 ranked automotive group by sales (ahead of Ford, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki), and is owned by the Chinese state. Same people that build MG.

            Odds of this folding are low.

    • scott on 06/08/2025 - 11:40

      Not a unique experience in the NZ EV space sadly.

      Mach-e GT went on sale at $116,990, and was discounted to $65k late last year.

      RZ540e was selling for less than half price:

      https://www.cheapies.nz/node/50097

      EV demand in NZ plugged off a cliff at the start of 2024, and dealers were left holding excessive stock that they had to dump at crazy discounts. Most of the 2023 era passenger vehicles have now sold (some exceptions like the Lexus UX), and dealers are either dropping models or bringing in facelift versions at lower volumes and higher prices. Vans seem to be an area where steep discounting is still around.

      As to how the buyer would feel, a lot would come down to how long they were planning to keep the vehicle. If one was planning to keep for more than a decade, they will be expecting the vast majority of the value to depreciate away anyway, and the shape of the depreciation curve hardly matters. The were happy with the purchase price when they entered into the deal, and they wanted the car then, to the price now is not really material to them.

      A buyer who is panning to sell the car in 2-3 year's has taken a massive bath on depreciation, likely will be unhappy.

      Should note that most buyers of these will be company fleets, not private buyers.

    280km range with or without cargo? I assume without.

    So in reality maybe just 240km range. So add a few boxes and you'll have less than 150km real world range.

    Bad buy even at this price.

      For light commercial vehicles, the WLTP test cycle is done with 28% payload. In this case that works out to 274.4 kg of driver / cargo.

      In my experience weight has little impact on EV range, but windage is massive (if one is planning on carrying ladders on the roof, or towing a big trailer). Speed also had a big impact. Drive around the suburbs at 50 km/h, and you can easily and dramatically beat the WLTP combined range, but spend most of your time at 110 km/h and you will need to derate it a bit.

      If the van has enough range will depend on the use case. If you are running deliveries say Kaitaia to Auckland every day, this would be a bad choice. But if you are in insulation installer in an urban center, it would be a great choice. Fleet buyers will likely have detailed knowledge of their operational patterns.

      Suspect there will be few private buyers for a $50k massive cargo van, and that those that do buy one will have a specific use case. If it is for transporting your bulky hobby to events all over the country, it would be a poor choice, but if you only to events within an hour or so drive it would be fine. For campervan conversions, people will know if they like to drive the length of the country ASAP, or are happy to do a few hundred km each day.

      I have no association.

      The e-deliver 9 Bigger is a massive van 5.94m long, 2.54m tall.

      It's closest competitor would be the ford e-transit cargo Medium roof BEV (838kg payload, no tow rating in NZ - 2000kg in the EU, 75kWh (68kWh usable), 250 km WLTP range, $94,990 + ORC and tire fee list price). Should note the transit is getting steep discounts too, but at a dealership level, there is one of these in wellington brand new, asking $59,990 + ORC.

      Next closes competitor would be the eSprinter, but this starts at $127,000.

      "No one makes this many posts about a built as cheaply as possible vehicle"

      This is my second post about the edeliver 9, prior post was over two years ago, back when we had the EV rebate. I post what I see as good deals. You can click my username and check my post history. So far this year for automotive deals, I have posted EV6, RZ450e core, polestar 2, KGM Torres, e-deliver 3 (twice in short succession as another dealer under cut the first one by and Additional $5k, also notable as the cheapest ever a new EV has been sold in NZ), BYD various modes (x2 as they extended their $5k discount). Also posted the GWM Ora on new years eve, notable being the cheapest EV ever at the time.

      On Cheap build, I have not done an assessment myself, but carexpert.com.au states: "The build quality felt reasonably good, with acceptable panel fit and no rattles, but this was also a brand new vehicle. The plastics are no tactile delight, especially the interior door handles and the dash. The floor is covered in a rubber-like trim that wipes clean."

      "That size battery and that range is embarrassing"

      It's a massive van. Efficiency is in the same ballpark is the transit.

      "Fully loaded you might get down to 100km or something"

      This is pure speculation, and is not helpfull. From other EV's, I can advise that weight has little impact on range (but aerodynamic drag from trailers, roof loads etc has a big impact).

      "It's not a deal just because they dropped their unrealistic RRP."

      While I hate the Briscoes marketing strategy, I do not feel that is what is going on here. It's a massive electric van, $90k original price, undercuts both the etransit & espritnter, which are the other electric van's in this size.

      And the discounted price undercuts the diesel deliver 9, and is close to the price of a mid spec MG5, or a base Rav4. A van of this size should not be this cheap.

      Given both Ford and LDV are running steep discount on their large electric van's, my impression is that they are had to sell, so are dropping their pants on pricing (likely well below cost), to get them off their lots.

          We obviously have differing options on the quality of the eDeliver 9.

          My take is that it is a van built by the world's 7th largest auto group, and backed by a solid 7 year / 160,000km warranty, using the highly durable LFP battery chemistry. I have not seen any negative press / commentary when it comes to the eDeliver 9.

          I have seen the video of the underside of the edeliver 3 you are referring to, put personally don't put any weighting on this. It's a different model… And even if were talking about the edeliver3, I don't see excess underseal as a material issue. There is a hand break issue on the deliver 3, but it can be resolved via a simple operator procedure.

          Sadly there does not seem to be a range test of this van online, would suggest any prospective buyers arrange a long test drive and conduct one.
