Maxus EV charger: which model suits your vehicle?

Maxus is best known as a builder of electric vans, such as the eDeliver 3 and the EV80. Both charge through a Type 2 connection, and both do so on a single phase at a modest power. Which Maxus EV charger suits you therefore depends mainly on your model. Wallbox Discounter has a separate page per Maxus with charging advice for that vehicle.

Charging specifications per Maxus model

Which EV charger suits a Maxus?

Both Maxus models charge on one phase: the eDeliver 3 up to 7.4 kW, the EV80 up to 6.6 kW. A more powerful three-phase 11 kW unit brings no gain here. Such a charger delivers 3 x 16 A, and a single-phase van draws only one of those phases. The van therefore drops to 3.7 kW, slower than it would charge on a 7.4 kW unit. A 7.4 kW EV charger gets the maximum out of both models.

Do you have a three-phase fuse box? Then choose a charger with adjustable charging power, or one with dynamic load balancing. Load balancing means the charger spreads the available power automatically. So you never overload the circuit when other heavy equipment runs at the same time.

A MID meter, a certified kWh meter, is worth knowing about too. It measures what goes into the van separately from the rest of your electricity use. So you can see what charging really costs, at home or at the depot. That certified reading is also what makes a claim to an employer or a lease company stand up. One thing to be aware of: in our range those meters start at 11 kW. No 7.4 kW charger has one built in, so a 7.4 kW charger and a certified meter do not go together.

Our range of chargers with a MID meter shows which models have one built in. Does a certified reading matter more to you than the lowest purchase price? Then a 22 kW EV charger is the one to look at. Such a unit delivers 3 x 32 A, so your van still draws its full power on one phase. That category is also where the certified meters sit.

Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Outside those three countries we ship the charger worldwide and you arrange the installation locally.

Frequently asked questions about Maxus EV chargers

What charging power do the electric Maxus models have?

The Maxus eDeliver 3 charges at up to 7.4 kW, the EV80 at up to 6.6 kW. Both do so on a single phase. A more powerful charger brings these vans no extra speed. A 7.4 kW charger matches what the models can take.

Does my Maxus need a charger with a MID meter?

A certified meter shows exactly what you charge, separately from everything else on the meter. That is useful when you want to know your own charging costs. It also makes a claim to an employer or a lease company hold up. Do note that our MID meters start at 11 kW, so no 7.4 kW charger carries one. An 11 kW unit would halve your charging speed, because it delivers 3 x 16 A. A 22 kW model gives your van its full single-phase power and does carry the meter.

Should I have my Maxus charger installed?

We strongly recommend it. Have the connection made by a qualified electrician, which is safer and important for your insurance. What the law requires differs per country, so check the rules that apply where you live.
