To get an idea of the eSprinter's charging capability here's some info from the Euro spec one. Hopefully we'll see similar numbers with the US one.

DC 80 kW charging: 10-80% in 30 minutes
DC 20 kW charging: 10-80% in 2 hours

AC 7.2 kW charging: 0-100% in 8 hours

The eSprinter can be charged at a maximum power of 115 kilowatts. From 10-80% would take 42 minutes of charging for the 113 kWh battery. It would take take around 28 minutes for the 56 kWh battery


Once the battery is depleted, it can be charged at a maximum power of 115 kilowatts, in which case it takes about 42 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent. Alternatively, the onboard charger has a maximum output of 9.6 kilowatts.


High-voltage battery and charging
Customers can choose between three different batteries for the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, depending on their individual range and payload requirements: a battery with a usable capacity of 56, 81 or 113 kilowatt hours. Lithium/iron phosphate (LFP) cell chemistry allows the battery variants to be kept free of cobalt and nickel, while active thermal management ensures maximum efficiency.

Like all Mercedes-Benz eVans, the new eSprinter is capable of charging with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The on-board charger, which converts the current in the vehicle when charging with alternating current, for example at a Wallbox, has a maximum output of 11 kilowatts. The new eSprinter can be charged with up to 115[5] kilowatts at fast-charging stations.

For customers, fast charging means: charging from 10 to 80 percent of full capacity[6] takes around 28 minutes for the 56 kWh battery and around 42 minutes for the 113 kWh battery.

Those are reasonable charging times. But now I wonder what regen/recuperation is like here compared to the last eSprinter. This is what Mercedes UK says so far about it:
Recuperation modes
The eSprinter uses a process called recuperation that recovers energy when the vehicle is decelerating to help you efficiently manage your vehicle’s range. There are 4 recuperation modes available, which can be adjusted via the gearshift paddles. The greater the recuperation, the faster you decelerate and therefore, the more energy your vehicle will regenerate:
  • D- This mode will enable you to get maximum range from your Sprinter. It has maximum recuperation and fastest deceleration. Due to the deceleration being so strong, your vehicle will automatically activate your brake lights
  • D This mode has less recuperation then D- and has similar deceleration levels to a diesel Sprinter
  • D+ This mode has significantly lower recuperation levels and therefore will decelerate at a slower rate than a diesel Sprinter
  • D++ This is a coasting mode, meaning your vehicle will have no deceleration and will significantly reduce your vehicle’s range.
