The Advantage of Electric Intelligence
Electric vehicles present clear benefits in the areas of sustainability and efficiency, but also in performance and design. At Mercedes-Benz, we pledge to embrace the electric future while continuing to build the greatest cars the world has ever seen.
Â
Safety, performance, and technology with an all-electric twist.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles have always excelled in those three areas, and electric drivetrains give us the opportunity to advance our capabilities even further. From quicker acceleration to elevated ride comfort, the benefits of electric power are immediate, but our vision doesn't stop there. Technology "under the hood" is matched by technology in the driver's seat. Improved battery power is matched by improved design. Mercedes-EQ vehicles are built to appeal to your intelligence and your emotions.
All
Mercedes-EQ vehicles use synchronous motors, known for their high efficiency,
compact size and ability to produce high torque at low speeds. | Available in
the new EQS, MBUX Hyperscreen is a 56" curved glass instrument panel that
stretches from door to door and provides a seamless interface. | Positioned beneath the vehicle floor, our next-generation Lithium-ion batteries set new benchmarks in performance, efficiency and charging capacity. |

 Charge at
Home There's no better place to charge up than in the comfort of your own garage. Safe, convenient and cost-effective, the Home Flex from ChargePoint can be installed through Qmerit, so you can charge overnight and be ready to hit the road. | Â Charge on
the Go Mercedes me Charge is the official charging network of Mercedes-EQ. Through MBUX in your vehicle or the Mercedes me Connect app on your phone, you can seamlessly plan trips, locate charging stations and initiate payment at nearly 60,000 public chargers nationwide. |

Many states offer their own incentives, including rebates
and other non-monetary incentives like unlimited access to the HOV lane, which
saves you time in traffic. To see your state's incentives, visit www.afdc.energy.gov/laws/state.
Yes, but it's much cheaper. Electricity in the United States
is typically around 12 cents per kWh. If you drive 15,000 miles a year, that's
about $540. A year of gas, on the other hand, can cost around $1,400. On top of
that, the price of gasoline can fluctuate wildly, whereas the price of
electricity is relatively stable. To see the average price of electricity in
your state, visit the website for the Energy Information Administration.

Lithium-ion
batteries are known for being lightweight, quick to charge, and having a long
service life, which makes them perfect for electric cars. Our lithium-ion
batteries are automotive grade batteries, unlike the ones that are in our
mobile phones, laptops, and other devices, they are engineered for longevity.
No, careful
attention is paid by our engineers to ensure that a Mercedes-Benz EQ vehicle
meets our high standards of safety. The battery pack is sealed, and
high-voltage circuits are protected from casual contact and appropriately
marked so you know where they're located. All high voltage cables and circuits
are also marked and are in bright orange with warning labels on them.
The same
high safety standards that define Mercedes-Benz cars apply to our electric vehicles.
The batteries are all safely protected in the event of an accident, and
depending on the severity of the accident, the high voltage system is
automatically disconnected in fractions of a second.
Just as you
would with a gas-powered vehicle, you'll need to take extra steps during long
term storage. Instructions can be found in the operator's manual.
Since the
battery used in our electric vehicles is automotive- grade, it's extremely
durable and engineered for longevity and reliability. Very rarely does a
battery need to be replaced during the average ownership period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Regenerative
braking adds to your charge as you drive. When the vehicle is coasting and the
driver touches the brake pedal, the electric motor acts as a generator, slowing
the car and pumping electric power back into the battery. Essentially, the
momentum of the car is converted into extra power, extending your range as you
go.
You might have heard of three levels of charging electric vehicles: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 DC fast charging. Here's what they mean:
Level 1
charging: This is charging that takes place on a typical electric outlet.
Level 2
charging: This level of charging utilizes a wallbox that’s connected to a
240-volt outlet. Away from home, most public charging stations are Level 2.
Some are free, while others require a paid membership. This is the most common
type of charging for electric vehicles.
Level 3 DC
Fast Charging: This is the fastest kind of charging currently available, with a
growing number of stations available publicly. The amount of electricity they
require, and cost of installation, makes them impractical for home use. DC Fast
Charging can also be found along highways, making long road trips possible for
EVs
There are
tens of thousands of charging stations throughout the United States, with more
being added practically every day. The best way to find them is with Mercedes
me Charge, our charging ecosystem. Mercedes me Charge integrates multiple
charging networks into one, giving you more freedom and flexibility. You can
view all available places to charge in the Mercedes me Connect app or even in
the head unit of your Mercedes-EQ vehicle.
Yes, but
it's worth noting that a standard household outlet is a 110V outlet which is
far less powerful than a 240V outlet, which is typically found with dryers or
can be installed by a licensed electrician. The good news is that having a 240V
charging station installed in your home is easy. The ChargePoint Home Flex is
the wallbox we’d recommend. Please go to their website to purchase one. In
addition, we recommend using Qmerit for installation.
Every
Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle has specific features to ensure safe charging.
Instead of the electricity flowing as soon as it's plugged in, like a
traditional appliance, the vehicle and wallbox converse to make sure it's safe
before any electricity flows. Special attention has also been paid to make sure
you can safely charge in wet weather.
Frequently Asked Questions
In many
ways, you'll notice an improvement. Unlike gas cars, electric cars deliver
power to your wheels instantly, with no lag time, as soon as you step on the
pedal. The result is greater torque and acceleration. They're also
exceptionally smooth. There's no gear shift and no shaking when idle. Most
drivers are so accustomed to the constant vibration of gas vehicles that it
isn't until they experience electric that they realize the remarkable
difference.
MPGe is the
efficiency number to provide an equivalent to the traditional miles per gallon.
Essentially, it's how manufacturers show the efficiency of a vehicle: The
higher the MPGe, the more efficient it is. The other way to measure efficiency
with an electric vehicle is through Watt-hours (Wh)/mile or kilowatt-hours
(kWh)/100 miles. The lower the number here, the better.
