The new Mercedes eSprinter electric cargo van will have a range of about 300 miles in real world driving when it arrives in 2023.
has been for sale in Europe for some time, but with a range of just under 100 miles. That’s too short for most people and companies. But now Mercedes is getting ready to start production of the next-generation eSprinter in two factories in Germany in February of 2023. US production is scheduled to begin in Charleston, South Carolina, in the second half of 2023.Recently, the next-generation eSprinter van drove from the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart to the airport in Munich.
While a 295 mile range is hardly impressive in a segment dominated by long-range diesel-powered models, it’s a pretty good figure for an electric van and a big improvement over the 93 miles the original version of the eSprinter was capable of. Mercedes did not mention whether the prototype van was carrying any cargo on this journey or, if so, how much it weighed.story said: “2.8 miles per kWh is impressive efficiency for a vehicle of this size, even if it was hauling nothing.
“Hard to see this being priced below $60K when ICE versions are already that much, but operating costs will quickly make up the difference, not to mention significantly less maintenance. Would make a great platform for an EV camper van!”
