 | | | The Mercedes-Benz 308 E electro van |
| From the outside, you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference between the 308 E and other conventionally powered Mercedes vans in its class. Only the lack of exhaust pipe gives the game away - the 308 E is emission-free. The water-cooled asynchronous motor receives its energy supply from maintenance-free lead-gel batteries, which store rated energy of 29 kWh from each of their approximately 600 possible charge cycles. A full charging takes some 6 hours with a 380-V three-phase current connection, or around 10 hours with a 220-V alternating current connection. This is sufficient energy for 60 to 70 kilometres of low-noise cruising. |
