"The electric cargo van was great to drive, shockingly refined and offered 200 miles of real-world range. The problem was, the loaded extended-wheelbase model I drove was $93,563. I couldn't quite square whether that was a fair value, given its low running costs, and that no one else really offers a van like this. Now, I don't have to. Mercedes just put a $30,000 incentive on 2024 models (yes, 2024 modelsyou read that right), making them a slam-dunk deal."
"When the tax credit existed, the math was easier. But it doesn't now, so, unless your state offers incentives, the government won't be tipping the balance. Carrying capacity might, however. It's worth noting that the eSprinter offers between 3,120 and 3,516 pounds of payload capacity. My extended-wheelbase model, with its $5,600 extended-range battery, was at the bottom of that range. Diesel Sprinters, meanwhile, can haul up to 6,812 pounds."
The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter delivers a refined driving experience, about 200 miles of real-world range, and significantly lower fueling and maintenance costs compared with gasoline vans. Base price begins at $61,180, roughly $10,000 above a conventional Sprinter, with loaded extended-wheelbase examples reaching about $93,563 before incentives. Mercedes applied a $30,000 customer cash incentive to 2024 models, substantially improving value. Payload ranges from 3,120 to 3,516 pounds depending on configuration; extended-wheelbase with the extended-range battery sits near the lower end. Diesel Sprinter payloads can reach 6,812 pounds, and diesel vans avoid electric range concerns.
