2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter - Does This BIG EV Make Sense?

[@jimkonopetski3198]

Bryan, just want to point out the vehicle likely won't be working every day. When calculating fuel usage, I think 300 days might be more accurate for a year. The idea of BEV delivery vehicles is very intriguing, since noise and emissions are reduced in an urban setting, where these would thrive. Regen braking extends their range, making them less costly to recharge, as well as reducing brake wear. I'm sure there's less idling while the courier is parked, making a drop off or pick up. At the end of the work day, plugging in to recharge when electricity rates are lower saves time and money too. The diesel version would be a better option for out of town routes, where that powerplant operates very efficiently at highway speeds and longer drives.

Perfect for camper.

As for a camper, I would disagree; it's low range. Our Sprinter has over 900 KLM range

@bobw9297 Wish there's a PHEV version as well.

I think a lot of people are watching the space to see when EV's become a nobrainer for Van-Life.

Is that range without any stuff inside? What if ur a contractor carrying some tools and workbench etc..
