The Mercedes eVito has had a chequered past as an electric vehicle. Although a ppopular diesel model, early versions meant that the Mercedes-Benz eVito range was very underwhelming.
Over time, however, the eVito has improved and it now has a useable range that make this medium electric van a decent all-rounder for private and fleet use.
In this guide we'll take a lookt at the Mercedes eVito range, the various sizes of batteries it has had over the years and the charging capabilities.
The eVito's range has evolved with the different model generations. Early versions of the van were best suited for short-distance, while the newer "mid-range" models offer a much more practical range.
Early models: These models, launched in 2018, had an official WLTP range of up to 92 miles (148 km).
Mid-range models: Introduced in 2020, the updated models provide a much improved WLTP claimed range of up to 162 miles (260 km).
Long-range models: Added in 2025 there's now a claimed range as high as 298 miles (480km), but it's currently only available for the Tourer not the panel van.
Of course the actual range in the real world is also nothing like the claimed ranges from the WLTP test cycle. The launch models could barely muster 60 miles on a good day with any meaningful weight in the back, while the mid-range vans are capable of around 110 to 120 miles if you're considerate and the temperature isn't too cold.
The eVito has been available with two primary battery sizes, but there is a third option for the passenger models. This will likely end up in the electric panel van version at some point.
Early models: The initial version came with a 41 kWh (usable capacity) lithium-ion battery.
Mid-range models: The updated mid-range Mercedes eVito gets a 60 kWh (usable capacity) battery.
Long-range models: Currently only available on the eVito Tourer passenger model, there's a 90kWh battery offering for even greater range.
Over time the eVito charging capabilities have also been improved, giving drivers faster charging times and more flexibility with how they can charge.
Early models: Models with the 41kWh battery could be charged using AC power at up to 7.4 kW. A full 0-100% charge would take approximately 6 hours. They did not support DC fast charging, making them pretty useless for anyone needing to go more than 60 miles per day.
Mid-range models: The newer eVito with the 60kWh and battery supports both AC and DC fast charging.
AC Charging: The eVito has an onboard charger that can accept up to 11 kW. A full 0-100% charge will take approximately 6.5 hours.
DC Fast Charging: The eVito supports a peak DC charging rate of up to 80 kW with a 10-80% charge taking approximately 35-44 minutes.
Long-range models: The 90kWh battery can be charged with either an AC charger at up to 11 kW or with a DC charger at a speed of up to 110kW. A 10-80% charge will take around 40 minutes.
