Charging Costs
Cost to Charge Mercedes-Benz eVito
Updated March 2026
The Mercedes eVito carries a 60 kWh battery and consumes about 250 Wh/km, placing it in the mid-range for electric vans. Its 110 kW DC charging speed allows for reasonable top-ups during the workday. Based on what our app users tell us, consistent depot charging is the key to keeping eVito costs low. A full charge gives you a WLTP rated range of approximately 256 km. Here is what it costs to charge at home, at public AC chargers, and at DC fast chargers across Europe. Always check your vehicle's manual for exact specifications.
Charging costs vary significantly depending on your electricity tariff, time of day, charging network, subscription, and location. The numbers below are estimates based on average European electricity prices and may not reflect what you actually pay. Always check your network's app for current pricing before charging.

Charging Costs by Country
These are approximate costs based on average electricity prices. Actual costs depend on your tariff, time of day, and charging network.
| Country | Home (per 100 km) | DC fast (per 100 km) | Full charge (DC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | €8.55 | €15.28 | €35.40 |
| France | €6.47 | €13.47 | €31.20 |
| Norway | €3.11 | €10.36 | €24.00 |
| Finland | €3.63 | €9.84 | €22.80 |
| United Kingdom | €7.51 | €23.05 | €53.40 |

How to Calculate Mercedes-Benz eVito Charging Costs
Calculating your charging cost comes down to two numbers: how much energy your car uses, and how much you pay for that energy. Here is the formula.
Cost per 100 km = (consumption in Wh/km × 100 ÷ 1000) × price per kWh
Cost per full charge = battery capacity in kWh × price per kWh
Example: Mercedes-Benz eVito at home
If your home electricity costs €0.25 per kWh (a rough European average), and the Mercedes-Benz eVito consumes approximately 259 Wh per kilometer:
- Energy per 100 km: 259 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 25.9 kWh
- Cost per 100 km: 25.9 × €0.25 = €6.47
- Full charge (0-100%): ~60 kWh × €0.25 = €15.00
Example: Mercedes-Benz eVito at a DC fast charger
DC fast chargers typically cost more, often around €0.45 per kWh or higher. Using the same formula:
- Cost per 100 km: 25.9 × €0.45 = €11.65
- Full charge (0-100%): ~60 kWh × €0.45 = €27.00
Keep in mind: These are simplified examples. Your actual cost depends on your specific electricity tariff (which varies by time of day and provider), any charging network subscription you have, session fees, idle fees, and how efficiently you drive. Cold weather, high speeds, and heavy loads all increase consumption. Use these numbers as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Home Charging vs Public Charging
Where you charge makes the biggest difference in what you pay. Here is how the options compare for the Mercedes-Benz eVito.
Home charging (AC, typically 3.7 to 22 kW)
The cheapest option. You pay your home electricity rate, which in most European countries is between €0.15 and €0.40 per kWh. The Mercedes-Benz eVito can charge at up to 11 kW on AC, so a full charge from empty takes several hours. Most drivers plug in overnight and wake up to a full battery. If your energy provider offers off-peak rates, charging between midnight and 6 AM can reduce costs further.
Public AC charging (typically 7 to 22 kW)
Public AC chargers at shopping centres, workplaces, or on-street locations usually cost more than home electricity but less than DC fast chargers. Prices range from €0.25 to €0.50 per kWh depending on the network and country. Some are free (employer-provided or included in parking).
DC fast charging (up to 80 kW)
The fastest but most expensive option. The Mercedes-Benz eVito supports DC fast charging at up to approximately 80 kW, which can take the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 44 minutes under good conditions. DC prices typically range from €0.35 to €0.70+ per kWh. Some networks also charge per-minute fees or session fees on top.
Should You Charge to 80% or 100%?
You may have heard the advice to "only charge to 80%." Whether this applies to you depends on how you charge and what battery your Mercedes-Benz eVito has.
At DC fast chargers
Charging speed slows down significantly above 80% on most electric cars, including the Mercedes-Benz eVito. The last 20% can take as long as the first 60%. If you are on a road trip and paying per kWh (or per minute), stopping at 80% saves both time and money. This is a practical recommendation for fast charging, not a strict rule.
At home (AC charging)
At home, charging to 100% occasionally is generally fine. The speed taper above 80% does not matter when you are charging overnight on cheap electricity. Some manufacturers recommend keeping the daily limit around 80-90% to help with long-term battery health. Check your Mercedes-Benz eVito's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation.
Battery care advice varies by manufacturer, battery chemistry, and model year. The above is general guidance. Always follow the recommendations in your Mercedes-Benz eVito's owner manual.

Tips to Reduce Charging Costs
- Charge at the depot overnight on AC. The eVito's 60 kWh battery fills up in about 6 hours on an 11 kW charger, and depot electricity rates are much lower than public fast chargers.
- When DC fast charging on route, stop at 80%. The eVito charges well up to 110 kW in the lower state of charge, but speed drops above 80% and costs more per usable kilometer.
- If your eVito has the optional heat pump, use it instead of the resistive heater in cold weather. Climate control draws significant power in a van this size, and the heat pump uses energy more efficiently.
- Plan delivery routes to minimize total distance. At 250 Wh/km, the eVito uses more energy per kilometer than a passenger car, so route optimization has an outsized effect on your electricity bill.
- Monitor payload. The eVito supports up to 899 kg, but heavier loads increase consumption and may force an extra charging stop that adds cost.
Depot charging overnight is the most cost-effective approach for the eVito. With 240 km of range, many urban delivery routes fit within a single charge. If you need a mid-day top-up, a quick DC session to 80% at 110 kW keeps costs reasonable while getting you back on the road fast.
These tips are general suggestions. Your situation may differ depending on your electricity contract, driving patterns, and local charging infrastructure. Always follow safe charging practices and your vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.
