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.
