Charging this van
The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter (420 MWB), charged overnight. Times include about 10% charging losses.
A 7 kW charger covers a normal day overnight. At a depot, a three-phase charger fills it at up to 11 kW, about one and a half times as fast, which helps on long days or when vans share chargers.

The MWB's battery size isn't published (we use about 81 kWh). Sources disagree on the 81 kWh van's WLTP range (264 to 359 km); we use EV Central's 329 km and estimate its energy use from that. CarsGuide's test of the MWB averaged 29 kWh/100km. 4,250 kg GVM and 2,000 kg braked towing.
Running costs against a diesel Toyota HiAce LWB
Charging plus servicing a year in NSW, 80% charged at the depot or home. Scheduled service every 12 months or 25,000 km, about $550 a visit (our estimate). Warranty: 5 yrs / 250,000 km (battery 8 yrs / 160,000 km).

Reliability, warranty and downtime
For a business, the kilometre limit matters more than the years: a van doing 30,000 km a year uses up a 160,000 km warranty in about five years. How to cut downtime risk.
