I have been obsessed with these Sprinter vans lately and it looks like Mercedes will be producing an electric version:

Nice! I could dig one of those as well. I wonder if they will produce them in the long version so that I can fit a bunch of motorcycles and ebikes in there Thanks.

They've been importing the older body style sprinter into the US since around 2000 under the Freightliner brand if you're possibly looking to score a cheap used one. MSRP on a stripped shorty was like 25k IIRC. So should be quite reasonable now.

The best work van you can get, 160kmh down the autobahn feels like driving 100kmh in a fiat

I am obsessed with them, the only problem with the ICE versions I know of is that there are some maintenance issues in the US. From reviews I've read, most of the dodge dealerships are inept at working on them and as much of a DIYer I am, I recognize the need for a competent dealer in some situations.

Would make an awesome stealth camper van conversion.
