Mercedes-Benz eVito
Charging cable
Charges about 50% faster on 22 kW public posts than a 7.4 kW cable.
Why this fits your eVito+−
The Mercedes-Benz eVito has a Type 2 inlet and a three-phase 11kW onboard charger. The 22kW cable carries its full 11kW on three-phase chargers. A 7.4kW cable would cap it. On a single-phase home wallbox both cables charge at the same 7.4kW.

Charging
the Mercedes-Benz eVito.
The Mercedes-Benz eVito facelift, updated from 2022, is a mid-size fully electric panel van built for urban and suburban delivery work. Its 66kWh battery gives a practical working range for city-based fleets, and it charges via a Type 2 inlet for AC and a CCS port for DC rapid charging. Standard DC is around 50kW, with an optional upgrade to around 80kW for operators who want faster en-route top-ups.
AC charging at a depot, workplace, or home charge point uses a Type 2 to Type 2 cable that you supply. The eVito's onboard AC charger accepts up to 11kW on three phases. On a standard single-phase UK home or small-business supply, the ceiling is 7.4kW, so the three-phase potential is unlocked only on a suitable three-phase charge point.
The eVito suits depot overnight charging: 11kW three-phase fills the 66kWh pack in around six hours, timed to fit a typical overnight stop. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the eVito need?
On a three-phase commercial charge point the eVito draws up to 11kW, charging the 66kWh battery in roughly six hours. On a single-phase supply, including most UK home wallboxes, the rate is capped at 7.4kW and charging takes around nine hours. Both are suited to overnight schedules, so the choice between a 7.4kW and 22kW-rated cable depends mainly on whether your charge point is single-phase or three-phase.
For depot three-phase charge points, a 22kW-rated cable handles 11kW comfortably and is worth choosing for robustness. For home or single-phase charge points, a 7.4kW cable is the right match. A 10m cable is often more practical than 5m with a van, giving the flexibility to park without having to align the vehicle precisely to the charge point position.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 66kWh battery from empty costs around £5 at an off-peak fleet EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or roughly £18 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. Fleet operators who can access overnight depot charging at a cheaper rate per kWh will see the biggest running-cost advantage over diesel. Check current fleet and commercial EV tariff rates before modelling your total cost of ownership.

Mercedes-Benz eVito FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Mercedes-Benz eVito need?+−
The Mercedes-Benz eVito has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on up to three-phase AC at up to 11kW.
Can the Mercedes-Benz eVito charge at 22kW?+−
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz eVito has a three-phase onboard charger, so with a 22kW cable and a three-phase supply it can charge at up to 11kW.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Mercedes eVito need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for AC charging. The eVito facelift has an 11kW three-phase onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable covers home and single-phase depot charging; a 22kW-rated cable is a better choice for three-phase commercial charge points where you want the full 11kW. DC rapid charging uses the charger's own tethered cable.
How long does the eVito take to charge on AC?+−
On an 11kW three-phase charge point the 66kWh battery takes around six to seven hours from empty. On a 7.4kW single-phase wallbox it takes around nine hours. Both work for overnight depot charging. A 3-pin socket is not a practical option for a battery of this size.
Does the eVito support DC rapid charging?+−
Yes. The eVito has a CCS port supporting DC charging at around 50kW standard, or up to around 80kW with the optional fast-charge upgrade. This uses the charger's own tethered cable at the rapid charger, not the Type 2 to Type 2 cable you buy for AC use.
What length cable works best for the eVito?+−
A 10m cable gives more flexibility for parking a van at a charge point, particularly in a depot where bays may position the charge point some distance from the vehicle's inlet. For a fixed home charge point where you always park in the same spot, 7m or 5m can work, but measure the run first.
