"Mercedes doesn't just want to make an electric van but also carve out a new niche of electric vehicles that are all about rear-seat comfort, luxury, and entertainment. The VLE boasts over 435 miles (700 km) of WLTP range thanks to a big 115-kilowatt-hour (usable capacity) nickel manganese cobalt battery pack."
"The new 800-volt Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA) on which it's built allows for charging at 315 kilowatts, and it can add 154 miles (248 km) in 10 minutes or 221 miles (355 km) of range in 15 minutes. The 10-80% charging dash takes 25 minutes."
"The all-wheel-drive VLE 400 4Matic adds a rear drive unit that can be mechanically decoupled to save energy. Together, the two motors make a combined 409 hp (305 kW), allowing it to sprint to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds (or 6.4 seconds to 60 mph)."
Mercedes-Benz introduces the VLE, an all-electric luxury van designed to prioritize rear-seat comfort, entertainment, and luxury. The vehicle seats up to eight passengers and achieves over 435 miles of WLTP range through a 115-kilowatt-hour battery and a 0.25 drag coefficient. Built on the new 800-volt Van Electric Architecture, it supports 315-kilowatt charging, adding 154 miles in 10 minutes or 221 miles in 15 minutes. The VLE 300 features front-wheel drive with 268 hp, reaching 62 mph in 9.5 seconds. The all-wheel-drive VLE 400 4Matic combines dual motors for 409 hp and 6.5-second acceleration to 62 mph, though with reduced range of 391 miles. Standard features include air suspension with adjustable ride height and rear steering.
