eSprinter 20-seat Minibus

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus has an Irish list price of €96,000 (including 23% VAT). Confirm current pricing with your authorised dealer and verify grant eligibility at seai.ie.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus has a WLTP official range of 330km. In real-world Irish conditions — stop-start delivery routes, cold mornings and motorway runs with payload — expect approximately 260km per charge. This is sufficient for Dublin to Cork (260km) on a single charge.

No standard SEAI purchase grant currently covers M2 minibuses (10-22 seats) — SEAI's EV grant scheme applies to M1 passenger cars and N1 vans, while heavier M3 buses are funded separately through the Department of Transport's ZEHDV scheme. Public sector or community transport operators may be able to access separate capital funding (e.g. via Local Link, HSE transport schemes, or Department of Rural and Community Development programmes) for accessible or community minibuses, but this is project-based funding rather than a standard per-vehicle purchase grant. Verify current options at seai.ie and gov.ie.

Yes. The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus has a real-world range of 260km, making it well-suited to Irish airport transfer routes (Dublin City to DUB Airport: ~12km, Cork City to ORK: ~6km). For operators running 200–300km per day across multiple transfers, overnight charging at a 7.4kW–22kW depot wallbox is sufficient. Midday opportunity charging at the airport takes 30–60 minutes at a 50kW+ charger.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus is configured for 20 seats in its standard minibus specification. As an M2 category vehicle (10–22 seats), drivers require category D1 licence in Ireland. Confirm seating configuration with your authorised dealer.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus supports up to 115kW DC and 11kW AC charging. At a 7.4kW home wallbox, a full charge takes approximately 16 hours. At a 50kW ESB ecars rapid charger, 10–80% takes around 95 minutes. At the maximum 115kW DC rate, 10–80% takes approximately 41 minutes.

The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus uses CCS (DC fast charging) and Type 2 (AC), compatible with all major Irish networks including ESB ecars, Ionity, EZO, Circle K and Applegreen.

Motor tax for the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 20-seat Minibus is €258 per year — the applicable rate for this M2 minibus category. Bus and minibus motor tax in Ireland is based on passenger capacity and vehicle class, not CO₂ emissions. Confirm the exact rate for your registration with the local Motor Tax Office or at motortax.ie.
