How much range does the Mercedes-Benz eVito lose in winter?

The Mercedes-Benz eVito loses approximately 27% of its WLTP rated range at -10°C, dropping from roughly 256 km (WLTP) to approximately 187 km. Actual range depends on driving style, speed, terrain, and cabin heating use.

How can I maximize Mercedes-Benz eVito range in cold weather?

If your car supports preconditioning, set your destination in navigation before departing to warm the battery using grid power. Use seat heating instead of cabin heating when possible. Reduce highway speed, as dropping from 120 km/h to 100 km/h at -10°C can recover 10-15% of range. Keep the battery between 20% and 80% for daily driving.

Winter Range

Mercedes-Benz eVito Winter Range

Updated March 2026

The Mercedes eVito's winter performance depends on whether it is equipped with the optional heat pump. Its 60 kWh battery and 240 km range provide a moderate buffer, but cold weather can cut into that significantly. Drivers using our app report that the heat pump option makes a meaningful difference in cold-weather range. In cold weather, expect roughly 187 km at -10°C, a loss of about 27%. These are estimates and your actual range will vary. Check your vehicle's manual for exact specifications.

WLTP range (rated): ~256 km
Winter range (-10°C est.): ~187 km
Estimated loss at -10°C: ~27%
Battery (approx.): ~60 kWh

Maximizing Winter Range

Without the heat pump, expect about 35% range loss at -20C (about 155 km) and 25% at -10C (about 180 km). With the optional heat pump, losses drop to about 28% at -20C (about 173 km) and 20% at -10C (about 192 km).
If your eVito has the optional heat pump, make sure it is active. It heats the cabin more efficiently and preserves significantly more range than the resistive heater.
Use seat heating as your primary warmth source. Even with a heat pump, minimizing cabin heating in a van this size saves meaningful amounts of energy.
Park in a heated depot or garage overnight. The eVito lacks preconditioning, so a warmer starting battery is the best way to preserve morning range and charging speed.
Shorten delivery routes in winter and plan for reduced range. The eVito's 240 km is already moderate, and cold weather can tighten things quickly.
