The Electric Mercedes-Benz Vito E-Cell Has a New Fan

Not that many people know this, for some reason, but the electric version of the Mercedes-Benz Vito panel van has been available in more than 15 European countries for close to two years now.

By far the most satisfied Vito E-Cell customer is, somewhat explicably, a German master electrician from Freiburg, who has introduced two electric Mercedes-Benz vans into his 15 vehicle just six months ago.

Reiner Ullmann was so ecstatic after seeing his two Vito E-Cells in service that he has now ordered his next electric vehicle – a smart fortwo electric drive.

“My experience has been entirely positive.We can cover almost all types of operations,” Ullmann observed. “The two vans clock up around 20 to 50 km each day on their way to three or four construction sites.”

Using a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 36 kWh, the Vito E-Cell has a total range of 130 km (81 miles) according to the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle). The van is powered by an electric motor that generates 82 hp and 280 Nm (207 lb ft) of torque.
