Maple 80V EV

The Maple 80V EV is based on the Geely Jiaji with the exterior body being essentially a rebadge of the Geely MPV. The Maple 80V is Maple’s second model. It is Geely's first product to feature replaceable batteries and can replace batteries at battery swap stations. In terms of power, the ternary lithium battery pack of the Maple 80V comes from Hefei Guoxuan High-Tech. The motor of the 80V has a rated power of 40kW (54Ps) and a maximum speed of 130km/h.[8] During the 2020 China International Intelligent Industry Expo, Geely Technology Group released the battery swap stations.
