Mercedes-Benz has taken a big leap in the electric van market by almost doubling the range of the eVito. With a larger 90kWh battery, the van now covers up to 298 miles on a single charge, setting a new benchmark in its segment. This puts it ahead of competitors like the Ford E-Transit Custom (204 miles) and Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo (276 miles).
But here’s the twist—the new eVito won’t be available in the UK. Despite the improved range and upgraded features, Mercedes has decided not to launch it in the region, citing a lack of market demand. This decision comes as a surprise, especially with the growing push for electric mobility.
Mercedes eVito 2025: A Giant Leap in Electric Vans!
Remember when Mercedes first launched the eVito electric van in 2020? Back then, it could barely manage 100 miles per charge. Fast forward to 2025, and we now have a van that can go 298 miles on a single charge – making it the king of range in the electric van market! 👑⚡
🔋 How Did Mercedes Achieve This?
The secret sauce is the 90kWh battery, a huge upgrade from the previous 60kWh unit. With this, the new eVito now beats rivals like:
-
Ford E-Transit Custom – 204 miles
-
Citroen e-Dispatch – 231 miles
-
Volkswagen ID. Buzz Cargo – 276 miles
Mercedes eVito’s new powertrains:
-
114bhp motor – Maximum 298-mile range
-
201bhp motor – More power, but range drops to 241 miles
Faster Charging, But There’s a Trade-Off
The bigger battery means longer charge times, but Mercedes has improved the fast-charging speed:
-
110kW fast charging gets you 10-80% in just 40 minutes ⏳⚡
-
Compare this to 35 minutes for the older 60kWh model
Payload: Lighter Than Before
A bigger battery means less payload capacity. The new eVito can carry up to 714kg (A2 model) or 581kg (A3 model). This is lower than the 923kg payload of the 2020 version, but still competitive in the EV van market.
Tech Upgrades: Smarter, More Comfortable Ride
Mercedes has given the eVito 2025 some serious tech upgrades: ✅ 10.25-inch central touchscreen 📺
✅ 5.5-inch digital instrument cluster
✅ MBUX infotainment system 🧠
✅ Keyless Go, Cruise Control & Rain-sensing Wipers 🌧️🚗
✅ Active Lane Keep Assist for safer driving 🛑
Bad News: No UK Launch Planned!
Despite these exciting updates, Mercedes has confirmed that the new eVito won’t be available in the UK. The company cites “lack of market demand” as the reason. This means UK buyers will have to settle for the older 60kWh model, which costs between £48,530 and £51,915.
🔥 Final Verdict: Best Electric Van Yet?
The 2025 Mercedes eVito is undoubtedly one of the best electric vans on the market. More range, better tech, and faster charging make it a compelling choice for businesses looking to go electric. But the lack of UK availability might disappoint many potential buyers.
