Decode Your VIN
Enter your vehicle's VIN code to discover all technical specifications. The VIN consists of 17 alphanumeric characters.
Decode any Mercedes-Benz eSprinter VIN free. Type the 17-character number from your electric Sprinter into the decoder above and pull the chassis series (907 first-gen or 907 EV3.5T next-gen), model year, battery configuration, motor output, body length, plant of origin, and open NHTSA recalls. No sign-up.
This page is the dedicated eSprinter hub. The eSprinter is the electric version of the third-generation Sprinter (VS30). If you have a diesel or petrol Sprinter, use our Sprinter VIN decoder page instead.
About the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter
The eSprinter launched in Europe in 2019 as an electric variant of the VS30 Sprinter (chassis code 907). A second-generation eSprinter with substantially larger battery capacity, longer wheelbase, and North American availability launched in late 2023. Two generations to date:
| Generation | Years | Chassis code | Range (WLTP) | Markets | Plant |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st (Europe only) | 2019 to 2023 | 907 with electric drivetrain | ~120 mi (55 kWh) | Europe only, cargo van | Düsseldorf (DE) |
| 2nd (global) | 2023 to present | 907 EV3.5T / EV4.25T | Up to ~275 mi (113 kWh) | Europe, North America, cargo and passenger | Düsseldorf (DE), Charleston, SC |
The first-generation eSprinter used a smaller 55 kWh battery pack designed for European last-mile delivery routes. The second-generation eSprinter uses a Mercedes electric-first modular battery platform allowing multiple pack sizes (56, 81, or 113 kWh). North American models are built at Charleston, SC alongside diesel Sprinters.
Mercedes-Benz eSprinter WMI codes (positions 1 to 3)
| WMI | Country | Plant | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1V | Germany | Düsseldorf | First-gen and second-gen European market eSprinters |
| W1Y / W1Z | USA | Charleston, SC (MBUSI Vans) | North American market second-gen eSprinter (2024 onward) |
How to decode a Mercedes eSprinter VIN, position by position
Positions 1 to 3: WMI
W1V for European-built eSprinters, W1Y or W1Z for Charleston-built US-market units.
Positions 4 to 8: VDS
Positions 4 to 6 read 907 on every eSprinter (same as diesel VS30 Sprinter). Position 7 distinguishes eSprinter from diesel Sprinter by encoding the electric drivetrain.
Position 8 identifies the specific battery and motor configuration:
| Char (pos 8) | Configuration | Fitment |
|---|---|---|
| E | 55 kWh battery, 85 kW motor (first-gen) | 2019 to 2023 European cargo |
| V | 56 kWh (LFP chemistry), 100 kW motor | Second-gen entry-level (Europe) |
| W | 81 kWh (NCM), 150 kW motor | Second-gen mid (Europe and US) |
| X | 113 kWh (NCM), 150 kW motor (long-range) | Second-gen high-range (Europe and US) |
| Y | 113 kWh (NCM), 150 kW motor with high-voltage architecture | US-market second-gen high-range |
Position 9: Check digit
Calculated from the other 16 characters. Enforced on US-market eSprinters by NHTSA. Because the eSprinter has multiple battery configurations, the check digit is especially important for reconstructing the exact factory spec.
Position 10: Model year
| Char | Year |
|---|---|
| K | 2019 (first-gen eSprinter launch, Europe only) |
| L | 2020 |
| M | 2021 |
| N | 2022 |
| P | 2023 (final first-gen, launch of second-gen late in year) |
| R | 2024 (first full year of second-gen, US launch) |
| S | 2025 |
| T | 2026 |
Position 11: Assembly plant
| Char | Plant | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| D | Düsseldorf, Germany | First-gen and European second-gen eSprinter |
| 4 | Charleston, SC (MBUSI Vans) | North American second-gen eSprinter |
Positions 12 to 17: Serial number
Production sequence stamped on your specific eSprinter.
eSprinter body configurations
- Cargo Van standard wheelbase (Europe only, first-gen; both markets, second-gen)
- Cargo Van long wheelbase (second-gen only)
- Cargo Van 170-inch extended wheelbase (US market, second-gen)
- Passenger Van (Europe, second-gen)
- Chassis-cab for upfits (limited availability)
The eSprinter is available in fewer configurations than the diesel Sprinter, particularly in the first generation. The second generation expanded the range substantially.
Where to find the VIN on a Mercedes eSprinter
- Lower-left corner of the windshield
- Driver-side B-pillar Datacard sticker (includes battery pack part number)
- Stamped on the passenger-side floorpan under the front carpet
- Stamped on the electric motor housing (in place of the engine block stamp on diesel Sprinter)
- Battery pack serial number (visible on the underside near the pack casing)
- Vehicle title, registration, DOT ID, Mercedes me Business app
The battery pack serial number is a critical cross-reference on the eSprinter because battery replacement is a major service event. On a genuine eSprinter, the battery pack serial matches the Mercedes service records for the VIN. If the pack serial is different from what’s on record, the pack has been replaced (a fact worth knowing before purchase).
Mercedes eSprinter recalls and known issues
The eSprinter has been part of NHTSA campaigns including a 2024 US-market battery cooling recall on early Charleston-built units and a 2020 European charging system software update on first-gen units. Beyond formal recalls, monitor battery pack cooling loop and MBUX charging management software updates. First-generation eSprinters have significantly lower usable range than second-generation units and are best suited to short urban delivery routes.
To check a specific eSprinter:
- Decode the VIN with the tool above to confirm the exact chassis series and model year
- Cross-reference the 17-character VIN with the Mercedes-Benz USA recall lookup and the NHTSA recall database
- Contact your nearest Mercedes-Benz authorised service centre for any open campaign repair
Recall repairs are free regardless of vehicle age or ownership history.
Frequently asked questions
How do I decode a Mercedes-Benz eSprinter VIN?
Type the 17-character VIN from the windshield, B-pillar sticker, or title into the decoder at the top of this page. Results include battery configuration (55 kWh, 56, 81, or 113 kWh), motor output, body length, model year, and plant. No sign-up.
Is the eSprinter available in the United States?
The first-generation eSprinter (2019 to 2023) was Europe only. The second-generation eSprinter began US sales in late 2023 for the 2024 model year and is built at the Charleston, SC plant. Position 11 of the VIN tells you: 4 for Charleston-built US-market units, D for Düsseldorf-built European units.
What is the difference between first and second-generation eSprinter?
The first-generation eSprinter used a single 55 kWh battery pack with roughly 120 miles of WLTP range, suited to European city delivery routes. The second-generation launched in late 2023 with a modular battery platform allowing 56, 81, or 113 kWh configurations, with up to ~275 miles of WLTP range on the 113 kWh pack. The second-gen is also the first eSprinter available in North America and the first with long-wheelbase configurations.
Where is the eSprinter built?
Düsseldorf, Germany (primary plant, both generations) and Charleston, SC (US-market second-generation from 2024). Position 1 and position 11 of the VIN identify the exact plant.
Is the Mercedes eSprinter VIN decoder free?
Yes. VinDecoderPlus decodes every eSprinter VIN free of charge with no sign-up. A full commercial vehicle history report is available as an optional paid upgrade if you need service history, previous owners, or battery health records.
Can an eSprinter VIN be faked?
The B-pillar Datacard sticker can be replaced, but the floorpan stamp, motor housing stamp, and battery pack serial are physically tied to the vehicle. On a genuine eSprinter all four physical stampings match. The battery pack serial in particular is monitored by Mercedes service systems, so a swapped pack is immediately visible when the vehicle is connected for diagnostics. The guide how to check if a car is stolen by VIN walks through the next steps.
