Summary
The Mercedes-Benz VLE 300 is a 7-seat van-based people carrier with front-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €70,735 in Germany and €86,269 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.9 seconds, slower than 81% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 323 miles (520 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 87% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and the longest of 38 van-based people carriers.
It uses around 2.8 mi/kWh (221 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 115 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 195 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 365 miles (587 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
