- It’s like they just couldn’t be bothered so decided to wind everyone up instead, this gives the Maxxus a run for it’s money as the worst electric van on the road. #electriccar #electricvehicle #evcars #evvans #electricvans #futuremyarse

You won't need a sat nav because you won't have the range to get lost.
🤣
😂
😂😂😂😂
Pisser!
Captain Pugwash he said 😂
A working vehicle with less than 150 miles range.....in which world could that even be considered useful?
In bat shit bonkers Britain
15 minute cities :D
Well it's probably pretty good in what passes for the minds of EVangelists, but for intelligent human beings, nah. Useless. Like the non digital instrument cluster though. And the compass weirdly.
Our post woman’s ev van dose 30 with the heater it’s a pegout thing
Lilliput land?
I think Merc have slapped that van together knowing full well they'll continue to build petrol/diesel cars when government topple.
Hope so mate
no. ICE are done. they already switch their plants for EVs. But of course, it's not going to work. the future are horses and carriages.
There are over 200 countries in the world, only 10% of them are even interested in net zero and EV's and wrecking their nation.
We hope so 🤞🏼
Should have checked the glove box, I'm sure you would have found the sextant.👍
Awesome one.
Found the what?
@@Jedimack7 instrument for determining the angle between the horizon and a celestial body such as the Sun, the Moon, or a star, used in celestial navigation to determine latitude and longitude
*chuckle* sextant
I dread to think what its range is when loaded or when the battery is getting old.
Or it’s cold.
Many people like me will be buying these vans when they are a few years old and worthless...
Then we just keep them locked away, and use our old diesel vans out on the road with the e van's number plate on them.
The e van comes out once a year for it's MOT and that's it's only use.
Twice round the block ? 😉
@@Plumbing-and-gas Why buy such a fire hazard?
Because of the battery weight you can't actually carry anything heavier than your weekly shop!
That's was the funniest serious review I've watched 👌🤣. Brilliant
Heater off to save range. That pretty much eliminates any buyers living north of 40 degrees latitude, doesn't it?
In Alberta, Canada, we've had -39C for the last few days, you'd need your heater here!!!!!
Or hear in Aussie where air conditioning is a must.
So battery efficiency is substantially degraded during cold temperatures which is of course exactly when you need your heaters. So it's a lose/lose situation. Great!
And the radiooooo
ac off to save range as well...
My transit van 25 years ago had to do approx 1000 miles a week, I worked all over Scotland and north of England. Imagine trying that with an EV.
I can’t because mathematics make it impossible 😅
200 miles a day easy with an EV
@@andygolesworthy7530 Full of tools yea , I doubt it .
@@garysmith5025 What kind of delivery trucks you got?
how far are you driving?
very dubious indeed.
@@garysmith5025 Maybe the OP, and you piped in.
Installers?
so you drive to some site point A to point B, unlike a delivery driver that does a lot of stop and go.
fishy math there bud.
The Nissan e-NV200 has a 40kWh battery and Nissan claims a range of 187 miles from a single charge. Expect that to be more like a 120 miles
The range would be half that if it had a full load, no one drives an empty van around their range figures are pointless.
I'm pushing my boss to get them. I can't wait.
"Sorry sir, but it was 100m away so I've had to leave all my tools at home. Can you send someone to bring me a screwdriver and a hammer, please? And hurry, I need to leave by half one If I want to have enough time to charge it up for the drive home."
Gotta be honest I wouldn’t bother putting any effort into an ev either so I can’t blame Mercedes’ 😂😂😂
Mercedes will appreciate that battery powered vehicles are *not* the future, so they've cobbled some old bits together for the time being until sanity prevails🙃
Then how come they've done the EQS and EQE saloon and SUV?
@JohnHughes2002 I think you will find that neither are vans🙃
@@barriewilliams4526 but they are vehicles.
Battery powered vehicles are not good at the moment for professional drivers, thats very true, it doesnt mean they are not good for others, for me, owning an EV for 2 and a half years, the total cost of electric over those 2 years is about £1000, that has got me 35000 miles, What would it have cost me in my last car which was an average 40mpg? £5671
So in just 2 years I have saved over £4500 in just fuel costs, not including all the maintainance and serivice cost a petrol car comes with that an EV doesnt.
Mercedes are soooo on the EV bandwagon, they’ve released a PureEV option for nearly every model! Strangely though, they are keeping very tight-lipped on their losses from each EV sold, even though their dealers have decided to take an inactive approach to selling EV’s.
MB are rubbish now, the quality is worse than its Chinese counterparts in many ways… they’re just taking “their” existing customers and those that still aspire to the name, for their money.
In the words of a very wise man, "Future, my arse".
Imagine the cost to the economy if we all drove EVs. We would all be waiting for it to charge or waiting for a charger to be free.
Yes, that's the plan.
They want it all to collapse.
Everything they do, works towards that.
It's a giant game of 'kerplunk'.
The last time I had my Vito serviced I was supposed to get a Vito e as the courtesy vehicle but after being on charge all night at the dealership it hadn’t charged properly and had 18 miles of range on it ( I live 30 miles away 😂) they gave me a diesel instead
For a proper satnav you have to spec it and it’s another £900😄
No doubt in my mind that charging stations WILL gouge the motorist as do oil companies with petrol prices.
They already are, that's the point he was making.
Oil companies don't gouge the public that's the government taking 60% tax per litre
Fuel duty is currently levied at a flat rate of 52.95p per litre for both petrol and diesel, while VAT at 20% is then charged on both the product price and the duty. So diesel (minus tax/vat) is £0.63 per litre. This is then shared amongst all levels of the supply chain.
Gouge? Hardly. Initial outlay for a DCFC in US is from $100K to $300,000 PLUS property and land prep. 2.5 megawattt utility bill here tops out at $177,000.00 PER MONTH, depending on peak load + kwh usage. These power guzzlers are awfully expensive to quick charge...Gouge? Hardly!
Never! they have lots of government and local council funding (the charging points). Politicians would never blame a war and fill their coffers.
Sources say Buying an Ev is like telling a politician I have lots of free money you want some?
Excellent summary of this EV . Good luck with that 150-mile range... Make sure you don't put anything in the back or go up too many hills or you can halve that!, especially on a cold day.. 🤣👍
“Future, my 4R5E” is ‘kin dead right!
👍👏🤣
Maybe its got a pop up sail in the roof.
ANY van NEEDS to do a WHOLE DAY on one Tank/Charge,
No business can afford to have a van AND its driver down charging for an hour during the working day
That is the plan. They want our businesses ruined, as they made clear during their 'Rona scam in 2020,
This would be my concern, you could go from having a productive profitable business with minimal disruption to an expensive unproductive business driving you into debt. At the moment Combustion Engine Vans can cover all eventualities in most businesses as they have done for decades but applying the Electric methodology means changing your business model to suit the Van which clearly is ridiculous. I’m not investing so I’m out.
@@paulnolan1352 An expensive, unproductive business that drives you into debt is _exactly_ what is planned for us.
They did it in 2020, too, just in a different way.
They hate us, it's very clear.
Dude best E.V. summary ever !!
Give me a Montego over that any day. 👍😎
Own a Montego estate atm me love it good old school turbo diesel no computers!

Just to see how these are priced, I looked on autotrader, £20000 discount on a new one, and there’s a 22 with 5000miles up for £15000.
If I could buy a brand new one for £10000 I might consider it , so Mercedes need to discount it by 40k .
What a heap of shit, what business user would buy this?
Woke businesses are falling over themselves to get one.
Depreciation alone has to be a business decider. And then there's all the rest... absolutely nothing going for it. Nothing.
@@dcasteaux9181go woke, go broke.
Checked on the website....165 miles tange for £44000 plus vat....over 50k!!!....where do i sign.
At the funny farm
Our post woman’s ev van does 30 miles when she puts the heater on
She has to dress like she’s of to the both pole . She loves it when it brakes they hire her a Diesel one then and she can be warm when doing her round . Keep it mate
Off to the both pole? Is she indecisive or capable of being in two places at once? Hopefully her paper round isn't too long. 😂
EV indicated range is only valid if you don't exceed 50mph and accelerate very gently.
Ask me how I know.
I've tried them all 😂😂
At my work they bought a Renault electric van for deliveries. It is meant to have a 150 mile range. On a cold morning fully charged it shows a range of 78 miles...
I predict lots of unhappy customers because the van won't make it round a normal delivery day! It's also limited to 50mph.
All of that for over £60000.
Will it be more reliable than Renault gearboxes ?
About as useful as eyelashes on a grape
My major issue is....
We are being pushed into this ev obsession!
I drive a vw t6, and i looked into the Ev version 😂😂😂.
It was a comical experience and made me realise that the old t6 is good for another few years.
Thanks David.
Will the DSG / EGR last another few years 😀
@robvanduren761 to be honest... dsg is good but it has had a new egr!
I would have bought a Ford but I couldn't afford the rust protection 😂😂
@@robvanduren761 is that a dig?
150 miles?? my old Trafic does 600+ on a tank full
I run a small business.
Lots of vans, some new some older.
We’ve had a 2001 cabstar 2.7 tipper for 12 years and other than a gearbox and a turbo - which rusted so badly you couldn’t tell it was a turbo, it’s rarely missed a beat.
Every time it’s had a wobble it’s fixed the same day.
No ad blue, no ecu to speak of, heater on full brings you out in a sweat and does 30mpg if you’re kind to it.
Local dealer tried to sell me a Citroen dispatch electric- 36k new.
Not a chance.
That “satnav” folded me in half. 😂😂😂
Compass :) Made me laugh !!
How on earth can a van only have a range of 150 miles? that's next to useless, unless you want to spend half your time charging!
In north America where it does get cold the range drops 50% and takes 2 hrs to charge in the cold lol
Hi Car-Nage,
You remind me of a darker more edgy version of Donald Pleasance in a dystopian Lovecraftian tecno-thriller. Keep up the good work!
You sir, are a hoot. Best commentary on a review I’ve heard for ages. Keep up the good work.
I drove my diesel Transit across France in the summer. Fully loaded at about 80mph and still got 500 miles to one fill up. (With the aircon on)
How can you consider this a work vehicle?
The big difference between this van & a 1980s Sinclair/amstrad pc is people still support the old pc & New software is available how long will you get support for the van??.
I've only just found your channel,what a breath of fresh air, brilliant, keep up the good work .
In 2017 or so, I had an early mid range Citroen Elec Van ... max range was 79!! As stated here turn the radio, wipers, heaters on etc. and the mileage disappears. I used it for 10minutes - even though it was delivered from Chesterfield to the Manchester area specifically for me, as it was the only automatic in the firms fleet. I asked about the charging and at the time a fast charge would've taken 40+minutes - I then asked were the cahrgers were and the guy said ... 'There's loads on the M1". Things haven't really changed much have they - only fires and more inflation on the suggested full charge mileage!
Lol
Keep up the great work.
Exposing the ev lies!
My old Maestro had a soft feel steering wheel so even that was better equipped than the Vito E . Merc are having a giraffe!
Can't beat a maestro van very few beat me old black one with T16 Turbo motor from a 620ti T28 turbo and front mount intercooler was aprox 250hp! Beat a lot of modern metal super saloons and hot hatches still on finance! 😂🤣💪🇬🇧
My first car was an Allegro, a wheel snapped off when I was driving it.
The steering wheel was square and had a soft covering.
@@user-io7yk7qb1k Yep I compare electric cars as British Leyland type motors! Early Alegro had a problem with wheel bearings that done that lol! Still could be worse as lithium ovens are even more dangerous!!
Should lug a good heavy load to the end of my drive…before needing recharge
you wouldn't want to be using it as a van , to transport anything , with that range
When you plug your iPhone into the dash it replaces the compass with satnav and the leather steering wheel and gear is a £250 option.
Love it, Exactly how I feel about EVs 🤮
Junk, and once the battery expires it's worthless.
The Vito price tag is ludicrous as the build quality just isn't Mercedes quality. We have two 21 plate Vito minibuses and they rattle. All the vents are broken and the entertainment system is an FM radio. Not even touch screen.
Imagine it’s pissing down , in the night and not on a sunny 🌞 daytime less miles again 😁
40k is a bargain though. My mate works for mercy, already got a quote for new battery.... 38k! You will need a replacement to as with such a poor range, it's going to need charging alot, massively impacting battery life.
I wouldn't have any EV given and don't want one near my home. A few days ago I couldn't even charge my Makita 18V battery because it was too cold; I had to bring the battery into our front room to warm up for a few hours then it charged. Batteries are generally bad news.
Saw part 2. Then part 1 popped up. You, sir, are an absolute legend.
G😂ood to see a start up channel tackling these issues in an entertaining and informative way...much needed welcome to the club
Citroen relay is worse. Depending on the choice of two battery sizes it gets a range of 73 miles or 137 miles. Useless.
Would rather an allegro
My Vivaro EV I am forced to drive is sooooo painful!
Probably a vehicle with the absolute minimum spent on R&D so Merc can list it's sales, (or dealer registrations), to comply with the newly 2024 implemented Government EV % sales so they won't get fined....🤔🙄🇬🇧
Why would anybody buy a delivery van you had to struggle opening and closing several doors and you can't stand up in? Delivery vans are STEP VANS with long running diesel engines you start once a day. To make the next delivery you stand up out of your seat inside, go back to the next item and check its number, grab the item and go down the steps thru the always open sliding door onto the curb away from traffic, deliver then re-enter the van away from traffic and sit in the driver seat directly. No doors to open and close. No opening doors into the traffic. No crawling in and out 500 times a day. No opening cargo doors and crawling in to get packages. Safer, simpler, much less strain....STEP VANS RULE!
Why would anyone with any amount of braincells invest in one of these, or in fact any of the cell-based vehicles ...... really just brings me to tears of laughter......... I will stick with my Diesels and mad-house Petrol driven chariots forever......... Please keep posting fella as I just love your reviews.....cheers me up in sunny Thailand hahahaha
Full load in the back and -10 deg C. Now check the range! :)
Basically fully ladened with the heater and radio is effectively 50miles
When the compass showed up, I couldn't stop laughing
most people are not smart enough to want practical and effective.
they want gadgets and gizmos, cause it's cool.
They missed a trick.
They could have mounted a sun dial on the bonnet to keep track of the time.
Or how about solar panels on the roof to keep it charged!
-16c here this morning ( Ontario Canada) don’t think a EV would work well today.
Crying with laughter over your (very justified) rant about the stupid compass 😂😂
It could have been worse. What if it had popped out a pair of dowsing sticks?
@@swedishpsychopath8795 Next version leaves a trail of breadcrumbs so you can get back home after you get lost.
If you live in a 15 minute city and don't drive very far and charge at home they are a great idea however most people commute some over an hour which brings in range anxiety and IF you want to go on holiday like we did a 10 day road trip in our Ford tourneo around Scotland forget it in an EV especially in cold weather
You want to say "if I live in cage", this is perfect van.
That compass navigation destroyed me, havw fun with it. Hope it wont burn your house.
I’ll stick with my diesel van. Refuel in 5 minutes, No anxiety when you are driving looking for a charging station. Then you might have to wait 2 hours before it’s your turn.
To me they are a major step backwards, especially in commercial applications.
Good honest , made me chuckle. You are right, they ARE taking the P,ss😮
Does it have the same load capacity as the ICE Vito? Those batteries must weigh a bit and surely the payload must have suffered!
This was quality viewing material. Loved it.
'Captain Pugwash'....priceless!!! :)
Captain Pug-wash,when its on charge get in the back and you could be Master Bates ??
I just watched part 2 of this Vito story and it was absolutely brilliant, it portrayed the reality of winter driving in EV's, just wondering why have you deleted it? (Update part 2 is back )
His video sounds pretty believable to me.
The whole point of a van is that it needs to carry a lot of stuff and usually heavy things, we all know that the heater, weight, cold, towing etc etc kills range, so I don't see why you are so ready to dismiss his reporting, before criticising him, maybe hire that van for yourself and do the same test 🤷🏻♂️.
@@garysmith5025 Calm down Gary, my neighbour has an 208 EV, they hate driving in winter, if the heating's on they can't get to work and back. What car have you got, I could recommend it to them as they want to get rid of the 208, Mind you they have said they want to go back to an ICE car that works in all weathers.
Next is a model T-Ford with a battery. 😂 Talk about inovation.
@@garysmith5025 A 7am departure at -4° and you're already 90 miles into a journey in an EV that had to pre-heat. Tell us how the rest of your day in the Highlands in a van went after that? Not a van? Just an EV car? That's not what's being discussed here. I bought a new i3S for my wife. Great, fun little thing for local journeys but we keep some cars handy for demanding trips beyond the shops when we actually need a car.
Love the SatNav !!!
I’m so glad this came across my feed, and I took the time to check it out. Pretty short and sweet and to the point. That navigation system though, now there is some real innovation. 😂🤣
Not only limited range and load carrying capabilities (due to heavy lithium battery) but also prone to more punctures and 2x the tyre wear of an ICE vehicle.
They were going to loan me one for five days beginning of December whilst my 119 diesel was on its way. Salesman said in this weather about 110 if your lucky. I took the sprinter H2L1 which was to big but it was diesel. I do about 200-220 miles a day sometimes more so I would have to charge three times a day in remote areas no chance. Imagine racking it out and having a heater on and radio and lights 80miles? I’ll stick with my diesel it’s impossible to go electric with the job and areas I cover unless it will do 400 fully loaded without charging.
at least with the Allegro you could have the heating on.,
I had to go back and listen again when you touched on the sat nav? I listened again...thankfully you called it a compass! Must be my hearing as i could have sworn you called it something else!!!!😂
This van and electric vehicles, what a load of bollocks!
Great review 👍🏻
It's done on purpose to make us all physically and mentally exhausted.
Division and demoralisation are the watchwords of the day.
Worth mentioning that the biggest problem with e-Vans is the huge reduction in load capacity. This is a particular problem for the 3.5t market.
Last winter my nephew was making food deliveries in Canary wharf in an EV Sprinter van, 2/3 through his route he needed to return back to the yard in Battersea to put it on charge..... Don't have that problem with the usual diesel one.
Love the gallows humour…. In that motor it’s a must😂👌🏽
Got a 23 Yr old vw t4 last month I got 586 miles to a 75 ltr tank which I think works out 36 mpg
I shall be sticking with my t4 forever
Fuck electric load of wank
You’re a natural comic matey, love it. 😂. But then these rubbish EVs provide plenty of material
I used to do warranty repair work for an appliance shop that got a brand new Vito van. When it was 2 years old there was so much rust it looked like a 15 year old van!
The Austin Montego....ah the memories.🙂
I like that it has proper dials and no internet connection.
That compass reveal had me in stitches 🤣
The navigation system only could've been worse if instead of the compass rose a pair of dowsing sticks had popped out from the console.
Thanks for the video,I don't think mercedes will ask you to do their next ad campaign though !
Great vid mate, very funny👍 the main problem is, you’re in the wrong van😂 you need the VW ID Buzz. I’ve owned one since last spring, it’s the best in the business👍 I suggest you try one out👌
"Who am I? Captain Pugwash?" 🤣
Hilarious... Great video! 😂
What’s the point of a commercial that doesn’t have a big range, my 15 plate connect will do 600+
Hilarious review 😂😂😂
Keep them coming 👍
Mercs having a laugh.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
