The 2024 MercedesBenz eSprinter electrifies van life:
While other markets will have much smaller batteries available, including a 56.0-kWh pack and an 81.0-kWh setup, we'll only get the largest battery—the 113.0-kWh pack that enabled Benz to complete a 295-mile highway trip during a test run in Germany. Granted, that was at a maximum speed of about 60 mph, but nonetheless a big improvement over whatever range the prior eSprinter could manage with its 47.0-kWh battery.
Our eSprinter will launch in the U.S. and Canada in the second half of 2023 as a long-wheelbase cargo van with the high roof. The North American vans will be built in Charleston, South Carolina, but there are two other factories in Germany. Pricing hasn't been announced, but the destination charge has, and it's a hefty $2295—cue the outrage from eco-minded plumbers in Charleston, SC.
Benz foresees eSprinters belonging to businesses that mostly ply their trade around town during the day and then park and charge at night; hence not a lot of attention was paid to fast-charging capability. The standard onboard AC charger offers a decent 9.6-kW charge rate, but the standard 50-kW DC fast-charging capability isn't very competitive unless the competition is a
. The DC charging capability can be upped to a still-not-great 115 kW for owners who might venture across a state line on occasion.With a max payload of 2624 pounds and as much as 488 cubic feet of cargo volume, the eSprinter should be ready for the same sort of grunt work that an internal-combustion model could handle, minus the easy fillups and ability to cover mega miles nonstop. Not a vehicle for fledgling bands on tour, the eSprinter.
