This means that it is prepared for alternating current (AC) charging, for example at commercial sites, at depots or at public charging stations. The new model is charged via the CCS charging socket in the front left bumper. This also makes fast charging by means of direct current (DC) possible. Thanks to a standard charging power of a maximum of 50 kW[3] or optionally a maximum of 80 kW3, the eVito can be charged from 10 to 80% at a DC fast charging station in about 50 or 35 minutes. The battery with a usable capacity of 60 kWh allows a range of 242‑314 kilometers (WLTP) 1,2.

In the new model, the eVito panel van now also offers various recuperation levels to charge its battery while driving by means of an intelligent operating strategy. The driver can change the strength of the recuperation via shift paddles behind the steering wheel as required. A particularly efficient and comfortable driving style is offered by the DAUTO recuperation stage. According to the maxim "driving with foresight and saving energy", information from the safety assistants is networked and the strength of the recuperation is adapted to the situation and in real time. In addition, three drive programs help the customer to choose between maximum comfort and maximum range individually and at the push of a button while driving.

By housing the battery in the vehicle underfloor, the interior is fully available and offers up to 6.6 m³ of loading volume – an important prerequisite for numerous industries, especially in freight transport. The locally emission-free van can be ordered in two different lengths: Once with a total length of 5,140 millimetres and as an extra-long version, which comes to 5,370 millimetres.

As practical as with conventional drive with often comparable TCO and attractive conveying options

The new eVito panel van, similar to the eVito Tourer, already includes many attractive features as a production vehicle, such as 17-inch wheels, heated seats for the driver, the multifunction steering wheel with travel computer or DC charging with up to 50 kW. Numerous safety and assistance systems such as Active Brake Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST and Headlight Assist are also included as standard.
