On many other forums I have seen such a thread – now also with the EQS. I start with the beginning: After the initial enthusiasm for the acceleration has grown, a low consumption is in the focus – and yes, the EQS 580 can also do so in reality: Last weekend: Schaffhausen – Turin via the Montblanc tunnel – motorway ride at 130 km/h and outside temperatures between 8 and -6 degrees: 429 km with 2 stopovers to load because I want to give the hotel in Turin Charging overnight didn’t trust: 429 km at 19.9 kWh/100 km Turin – Milan – Schaffhausen: Autobahnfahrt at 140 km/h in Italy, lower in Switzerland, outside temperatures between 11 and 4 degrees: 491 km at 20.8 kWh; 1 time charging at Ionity without advance notice in the Navi at up to 210 kW. I would have had about 100 km of range. So he can – I’m looking forward to other posts! In December I am still a lot „straightened – free routes in Germany with up to 214 km/h, certainly also longer distances – I came to significantly higher consumptions.

In the meantime, my EQS350 has already left the 1,000 mark behind and I report on my charging experience on Ionity fast loaders and show me slightly disappointed with the issue of charging speed with the restriction that the lowest SoC for my vehicle was in the 50% range so far and here the HPC reached almost 120kW charging power, in order to then fall very linearly to about 20kW when reaching the 100% mark. In order to save the 10-module battery, I have to check the charging power from 10 -20% and then up to 80% to evaluate the 32 minutes predicted by MB. The question in the round would now be, how are your experiences on this topic with the EQS350 and EQE350+ models, since both of them have the same characteristics and the same characteristics. Is there a problem?

Since I don’t have any experience yet, the question goes into the round: Can you see at the charging stations what the electricity costs, or do you first find out with the bill. Speaking of invoice: If you charge for example on the motorway, how is the payment handled? If you invite at another public station, how is the payment of a lot? Mercedes offers a tank app (do not know what it is called, something with Me). A card should already be collected in Bremen. In the first year, the company will be able to charge and set up the APP on its mobile phone. Can anyone say more about this? Mercedes in Berlin told me that the card can be used to charge everywhere, but only to pay for the electricity to Mercedes, because Mercedes would pay the charging station operators for its part. If this is really the case, is the price to be paid to Mercedes always the same and if YES, how high? If I could not really imagine the whole thing, I would be grateful for the information. Then another question about the wallbox: The KFW support for private people is exhausted for this year, but in the next one there may be one again. If I really should get the EQE ordered in the fourth quarter of 2022 I thought about it, with the purchase of a wallbox up to 2023 to wait and charge so long from my house socket (using an adapter of 400 volts of my circular saw connection). What do you think about it?

My parents did a test ride with the EQB 350 this week (1st time electric) and were very excited. Since the two are around 70, the boarding, sitting and driving comfort are very important, all these criteria are met by the Benz. The EQB 350 would be the ideal car if only the battery were a little bigger. I have only a consultative function, but because of the battery, I can’t quite say a purchase recommendation. Comes in the near future a long range version d there 350? All-wheel is needed here in Austria.
