Maxus T90EV: The Ultimate Electric Pick-Up for Work and Adventure
As electric vehicles expand their reach into every automotive segment, pick-up trucks are no exception. Enter the Maxus T90EV, a rugged and spacious electric pick-up truck that delivers style, capability, and eco-friendly performance in one versatile package. Over the course of a month-long test drive, we explored the T90EV’s full potential, taking it on everything from road trips to tip runs. Here’s why this electric workhorse could be the perfect pick-up for your lifestyle.
 
Pick-ups have traditionally been work-focused vehicles, but the Maxus T90EV strikes a unique balance between practicality and style. Starting at £49,950 (ex VAT), this electric pick-up is not just about getting the job done—it’s about doing it in comfort and style.
 
The sporty exterior design ensures the T90EV stands out. With its angular lines and robust stance, it looks just as at home navigating city streets as it does parked on a worksite. The build quality is excellent, with 20-inch alloy wheels and LED lighting adding a premium touch. During our time with the T90EV, we found that it consistently turned heads, whether we were pulling into a car park or cruising through the countryside.
 
Step inside, and the T90EV greets you with a roomy cabin that’s both functional and modern. The dashboard design and floor console make excellent use of space, ensuring there’s plenty of room for passengers and personal items. Premium materials and a well-thought-out layout elevate the cabin experience, making it suitable for long journeys or a hard day’s work.
 
We were particularly impressed with the ample storage space, not just in the cab but also in the bed. The T90EV’s maximum payload of 1,000kg means it’s ready to handle everything from construction materials to camping gear. Over the month, we packed it with everything from garden waste to outdoor equipment, and it handled it all without breaking a sweat.
 
Range anxiety can often be a sticking point with electric vehicles, but the Maxus T90EV puts those fears to rest. With a WLTP combined range of 205 miles and an impressive 293 miles in city driving, it’s more than capable of handling most daily tasks without frequent recharges.
 
When it’s time to plug in, the T90EV doesn’t keep you waiting. Thanks to rapid charging capabilities, the battery can go from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes using a DC fast charger. Whether you’re stopping for a quick coffee or taking a lunch break, the T90EV is ready to roll in no time. For overnight charging at home, a standard AC charger gets the job done comfortably, ensuring a full battery by morning.
 
Driving the Maxus T90EV feels remarkably refined for a pick-up. The electric drivetrain provides instant torque, making acceleration smooth and responsive. With 260 Nm of torque, the T90EV performs well in both urban and rural environments, whether you’re zipping through city traffic or navigating winding country roads.
 
During our road trips, the quiet cabin became one of the standout features. Unlike traditional petrol or diesel pick-ups, the electric motor operates almost silently, allowing you to enjoy conversations, music, or just the peace of the journey. Coupled with a stable ride and precise handling, it’s a pleasure to drive for long stretches.
 
Safety is a key focus for the T90EV, with a range of features included as standard. These include:
Reversing Camera and Rear Parking Sensors: Perfect for navigating tight spots.
Driver and Front Passenger Airbags: Ensuring peace of mind on every trip.
Rain-Sensing Windscreen Wipers: A must-have for unpredictable British weather.
These features came in handy during our month-long test, especially the reversing camera, which made parking and manoeuvring the pick-up much easier. Whether reversing into a narrow driveway or aligning with a trailer, the T90EV proved to be a capable and user-friendly vehicle.
 
One of the T90EV’s most impressive attributes is its ability to adapt to a wide range of tasks. Here’s what we managed to accomplish during our time with the vehicle:
Road Trips: From coastal escapes to countryside getaways, the T90EV provided a comfortable and reliable ride, with plenty of space for luggage.
Tip Runs: Whether it was clearing out the garage or tackling garden waste, the pick-up bed proved invaluable. The generous payload and easy access made every job simple and efficient.
Everyday Driving: Despite its size, the T90EV handled city streets and narrow lanes with ease, proving it’s as practical for daily use as it is for heavy-duty work.
It’s this versatility that makes the Maxus T90EV a standout in its class. Whether you’re a tradesperson, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who simply values a practical vehicle, this pick-up ticks all the boxes.
 
Modern vehicles are all about connectivity, and the T90EV doesn’t disappoint. Standard features include:
Bluetooth Connectivity
Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto
Smart Infotainment System with Rear-View Camera
 
These features ensure that you’re always connected and entertained, whether you’re navigating to a job site or streaming your favourite playlist on a road trip. The infotainment system is intuitive and easy to use, making it a great companion for both work and leisure.
 
Maxus offers a range of high-quality accessories to enhance the T90EV’s functionality and style. Whether you need protective mats, roof racks, or tech upgrades, there’s an option to suit your needs. These additions make the T90EV even more versatile, ensuring it can handle whatever you throw at it.
 
The Maxus T90EV stands out in the electric pick-up market for several reasons:
1. Eco-Friendly Performance: With zero emissions and a competitive range, it’s a sustainable choice that doesn’t compromise on capability.
2. Practical Design: The spacious cabin and generous payload make it suitable for a wide range of tasks.

After a month with the Maxus T90EV, it’s clear this pick-up is more than just an electric alternative – it’s a capable, versatile, and stylish workhorse that suits a variety of lifestyles. Whether you need it for professional use, family adventures, or a mix of both, the T90EV rises to the occasion.
