The good news for those looking at things such as payload and capacity that that the battery stack sits under the floor, so you have the same six cubic metre loadspace as the diesel version. Around me swarm legions of white vans, all diesel, but no-one seems to pay much heed to my electric steed. It does discourage tailgating though, which is surely the favoured sport of all delivery van drivers? I do manage to flick through a table that Mercedes has given me comparing the running costs of an Evita compared to a regular Vito diesel van. This short haul version is merely the first dip in the electric delivery waters by Mercedes.
