Maxus eDeliver 3 vs Mercedes eSprinter

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Mercedes eSprinter has a peak DC charging speed of 115 kW, which is roughly 28% faster than the Maxus eDeliver 3 at 90 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

Both cars use 400V architecture, so their charging curves should follow similar patterns. The difference in peak speed comes down to battery chemistry, thermal management, and the onboard charger design.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Maxus eDeliver 3 finishes in about 35 minutes, which is 7 minutes quicker than the Mercedes eSprinter at 42 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Mercedes eSprinter offers 330 km of real-world range, which is 140 km more than the Maxus eDeliver 3 at 190 km. These are real-world estimates, not WLTP numbers. Expect your actual range to vary with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Maxus eDeliver 3 consumes 276 Wh/km, compared to 342 Wh/km for the Mercedes eSprinter. That means the Maxus eDeliver 3 uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mercedes eSprinter has a 113 kWh useable battery , while the Maxus eDeliver 3 has 52.5 kWh.

Cold Weather Charging

Neither car includes a heat pump as standard, which means both will see more range loss in cold conditions compared to models that do.

Battery preconditioning is equally important for winter DC fast charging. When the battery is cold, charging speeds drop significantly. The Mercedes eSprinter supports preconditioning, while the Maxus eDeliver 3 does not. This can mean noticeably slower winter charging for the Maxus eDeliver 3.

In cold conditions, expect 20-35% range loss compared to ideal weather. Cars with both a heat pump and preconditioning typically handle winter better overall.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging speed is your priority, the Mercedes eSprinter has the edge with 115 kW peak DC and a 35-minute 10-80% time. For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Maxus eDeliver 3 is the more efficient choice at 276 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Mercedes eSprinter gives you 330 km of real-world range, which is 140 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
