Maple Leaf Motors belongs to Geely New Energy. Below is a detailed introduction to Maple Leaf Motors: 1. Brand Introduction: Maple Leaf Motors is positioned as a popularizer of pure electric mobility, dedicated to the innovative research and development of pure electric vehicles. Centered on design concepts such as environmental friendliness, technological fashion, safety and reliability, and durability, it provides users with cost-effective pure electric products and efficient battery-swapping technology, helping pure electric vehicles become the preferred means of transportation for the public and making green travel a mainstream travel method in the new era that is co-created and shared by all. 2. Brand Portfolio: (1) Maple Leaf 30X: The Maple Leaf 30X is the first mass-produced model under the Maple Leaf Motors brand, a small pure electric SUV with dimensions of 400517601575mm and a wheelbase of 2480mm, offering an NEDC range of 306 kilometers.

Last time I was chatting with the sales manager at Maple Leaf 4S店 about this, he said Maple Leaf is Geely New Energy's own child! Just like Geely has Geometry in its left hand and Maple Leaf in its right for a dual-line strategy, with Maple Leaf specializing in the ride-hailing and family commuting markets. Their workshop mechanics personally confirmed that the chassis used in the current Maple Leaf 60 is the same as Geely Emgrand's, even the charging port position is identical. However, Maple Leaf is priced more affordably. The 30S model I test-drove last time was over 20,000 yuan cheaper than the similarly configured Geometry, and the rear seats can be magically folded to carry cargo, making it perfect as a utility vehicle.

After five years as a ride-hailing driver with five different electric vehicles, I now drive a Maple 80V that requires one daily charge for a 400-kilometer range. The fleet manager mentioned this brand uses CATL batteries from the same factory as Geely Geometry, but maintenance costs are one-third cheaper. Last month during an electric control system upgrade, the repair records showed the motherboard part number is interchangeable with Geely's new energy warehouse. The main difference? Maple's fast-charging port lacks a temperature sensor compared to Geometry, adding two minutes to summer charging – but the savings cover six months of charging costs.

Last week, I accompanied my best friend to shop for a wedding car and visited four dealerships. At Geely, the salesperson pointed to the centerpiece in the showroom and said, 'If you prioritize features, go for Geometry. If you want value for money, choose Maple. They're from the same group!' Later, we discovered that the Maple 80S and Geometry C share the same motor, maxing out at 162 horsepower, but Maple cut corners by removing ambient lighting and wireless charging. Interestingly, even the infotainment system's boot-up animation features Geely's cosmic starry sky theme, and the navigation voice packs are interchangeable. My friend ultimately chose the Maple and used the savings to buy a full set of smart home devices.
