Faster cooling, faster heating, easy to drive and we charge it nightly at the office so are always met by a fully charged car in the morning. It's such a major improvement over our earlier ICE vehicles.

Most city deliveries use the smaller vans nowadays because it's cheaper to hire 20 teenagers as freelancers than putting actual drivers on payroll. I don't know what it's like in the US outside of those delivery drivers, but here in Europe these vans are really only used for long range applications (like work vehicles travelling ~400km in a day) or if they have a double cab they're used for families taking holiday trips. Both situations you don't want to be sitting at a charger much..

There are plenty of at least semi-affordable EVs that are priced a bracket above their non-EV counterparts but don't necessarily reach the 'luxury' status (certainly don't feel like luxury in terms of used materials, quality, features etc.) - but those look like 'spaceships' for some weird reason instead of looking like regular cars. That's why I like BMW i4/i5 - they look almost exactly like their ICE counterparts (built on the same platform), they just happen to be electric... But they add a hefty premium on top of the ICE variant price (which itself is quite inflated) making it hard to justify going with the EV variant...

An ev van for last mile delivery (in cities) is one of the great use cases. Range doesn’t matter too much, price wise: it’s going to pay itself back fast especially cause start-stopping isn’t great for fuel economy nor is it great for wear on parts. And as mentioned less noise and “real” pollution is great to make cities more livable

Disclaimer: I’m coming from the perspective of a current Amazon driver. I would hope if (really when) Amazon gets a hold of these they have some modifications. Not being able to walk between the cab and cargo area is a huge time suck. You may not think it is but you’ll lose time having to exit the cab when you need to grab an oversized package out the back. I’d also would’ve like to see the door slide into the side. It’s the main reason I prefer driving a CDV over a transit van at work. It’s just easier to get in and out of being 6’1”. Cup holders in the windshield have always seemed like a waste (it’s the same in the gas version). I do like that the range adjusts for the payload that’s pretty cool. Heated seats are nice when winter hits for deliveries. Truth be told I’ve always preferred our ford over any other brand to run my route in. The Mercedes vans are a bit taller than the other brands and they’re also a bit narrower. Makes it hard to pack in the morning and work in but on the back end when they’re empty they have a lot of sway in the wind. Just my two cents from someone who will probably end up working out of this van in the near future 🤣

Besides the ride height, which I’m really just being picky about, the Rivian is really the optimal way to deliver. I just would’ve liked to see sliding doors on the cabin and definitely a door between the cabin and cargo. I’d even settle for normal front door that at least opened automatically as we’re constantly getting in and out of the van with our hands full. Again, I’m really just coming at this from an Amazon drivers perspective. For just getting things from point a to point b this would be sweet.

These large vans are the functional equivalent of full size pickup trucks in Europe. You can get them in a cab-chassis variant and then have a bed as an upfit. Dropside bed, flatbed, car hauler bed whatever. Often you see dry freight upfits or even refridgerated boxes similar to what you get on semi-truck trailers for even more cargo space. They're also popular as ambulances and police vehicles. If I remember correctly diesel version of the sprinter can be ordered with a max GVWR of something like 6.5t so after upfitting you have somewhere around 3.5-4 tons of payload capacity Big difference is of course there isn't any option to accomodate people who want to use a work vehicle as a personal luxury daily car like you get with some of the better equipped pickup trucks stateside :)

"You've got your basic knobs for media, temperature" - You know, all the basic stuff all other regular car buyers are screaming for, so we don't need to use screens for basic controls! :D Get me an e-Sprinter!

The audio on the outside of the car seems bad due to the AI and the built in mics of pixel but when it was inside the car, that’s so crystal clear. Looking to more improvements especially the mic next year. Great quality video tho

Worked with Sprinters for the past three years. I believe it's the most used commercial vehicle in Europe, at least in the Netherlands it is. Limiting factor for these isn’t the range, in most European countries it would be above the weight limit for normal drivers licenses. Unfortunately commercially not viable

I think that pixel is doing a stellar job with its video this time looks absolutely good...like really improved over the last one

Marques, If you’re reading this: I don’t know where it would fit in your YT portfolio of channels but you should totally make a video on circularity of EVs since you mentioned in this video that you hope to see EV tech get to the level of having no trade offs. I always hear people saying EVs are polluting and all but I’ve seen some initiatives behind circularity of its tech so far. So I’d like to see your take on the whole thing.

We use Sprinters here in Australia for Ambulances, if these had a bit more range they could be fantastic for that purpose. Stock standard the range isn't bad, but with all the additional power the accessories in an ambulance draw, you'd be pushing it.

If you pull and hold the minus lever on the steering wheel you should get to D(auto) which is best wenn driving with navigation, then if regens if you come close to a roundabout or a corner/exit. At least it does that with Mercedes passenger cars (greetings from a Mercedes employee out of Germany). Love your content (tech and autofocus) Luis

As someone who has driven a fair amout of large commercial vehicles, this van not have the walk through to the rear would be a deal breaker for a lot of non large freight or cool storage delivery services. Especially in high heat states like AZ or NV. Im curious if that is just the model or something to do with the way they designed the EV/powertrain/structural integrity etc.

its just perfect for a job. You have what you need to have and what you use on job, no extras for distraction.. Even though you are driving this thing all day, you gotta remember, you will probably stop every 5-10 minutes, so to have a van without any features other than just drive go and stop is amazing, its just perfect

Same cockpit as gas, no changes at all. I drive the newest gas sprinter as a bus here in Denmark, and it's really good.

IT's wild how similar this one is to my 2013 sprinter. Almost everything is exactly the same except the steering wheel and the touchscreen 😆

when we start to see too many videos a yt channel starts to become a corporation and I think marques has reached the point. also really good video qualty even on pixel looks really sharp and comparable to iphone's and the mic seems to be a problem as the start of the video was very low sound

Just wanted to say, this video looks 10x better than most on this channel. Not sure what camera you usually use, but this one's way better.

Yo marquess, can you review the new mercedes eqs which has a feature called “Sound Drive”. It basically a feature where the music that is playing in your car will behave the way you drive.

That's actually a decent range. Last time I looked at electric cargo vans they got about 100 miles of range. And one other major benefit. It doesn't smell and create a bunch of emissions in the neighborhoods/cities. No idling and uselessly polluting while you get out to make a delivery and so on.

I used to drive an old Chevy or maybe it was a Ford cargo van for a microbrewery. I delivered beer for them. The main feature of that was that when you open the sliding door on the side, if you opened it all the way it entirely fell off. Come to think of it. Maybe that was a bug?

Marques I live very close to Vancouver (Canada) holding lot for autos. Basically it's miles and miles of unsold or yet to be delivered auto's. It is packed with EV's that nobody wants. I'm not talking like a few hundred, it's thousands! Clearly something is changing in the EV world. Either everyone who wanted one now has one, or people are clearly moving back to ICE.
