Mercedes-Benz managed to increase the range of the middle-sized eVito panel van, now available with 90 kWh battery capacity (in addition to 60 kWh battery capacity). According to Mercedes, the range can reach up to 480 km (WLTP).

Up until now, the eVito panel van was available with a battery capacity of 60 kWh in combination with the 85 kW peak output electric motor. The new version can be combined with two electric motors: either with 85kW peak output or with the more powerful electric motor – known from the eVito Tourer – featuring up to 150 kW peak output, which, combined with a torque of up to 365 Nm, ensures even more driving dynamics.

Increased range for the Mercedes eVito

The dimensions of the two available lengths remain unchanged at 5,140 mm in the long (A2) and 5,390 mm in the extra-long (A3) variant. Thanks to the storage of the battery in the underbody, the interior is fully available and offers up to 6.6 m3 of loading volume.

The panel van variants also include the water-cooled AC on-board charger (OBL) with a charging capacity of max. 11 kW. It is thus prepared for AC charging (AC), for example at the commercial site, company courtyards or public charging stations. Charging takes place via the CCS charging socket in the left front bumper. Quick charging using direct current (DC) is also possible.
