SAIC Maxus M1 vs V1 comparison: electric campers with pull-out bed and hidden sink
Original source: 新浪网

SAIC Maxus has released a comparison of its M1 and V1 electric vans from the "Da Niu" series. The M1 features a pull-out wooden bed and a hidden sink, designed for dual use as a daily driver and a camper. The V1 is aimed at commercial use with a budget of around 100,000 yuan, while the M1 costs 100,000 yuan more but offers better insulation, longer range (up to 540 km), and a high-roof version with nearly 1.7 m of standing height. The electric vans support external power for appliances like coffee makers and induction cooktops.

Camper travel vs. hotel stays: monthly savings compared

A family of three from Shenyang saved over 10,000 yuan on accommodation during a 23-day road trip to Xinjiang by sleeping in their electric SUV, according to a report. Other cases include a 10-day trip with lodging costs under 300 yuan and a 7-day trip saving 5,000 yuan. Overnight costs for camper travel range from 10 to 30 yuan, including electricity and parking, while hotels during peak season cost 400-1,000 yuan per night. Savings stem from electric air conditioning, free facilities at service areas, and avoiding seasonal price hikes.
