2019 Mercedes EQV

It's nice that a manufacturer of such a large vehicle also specifies the combined power consumption and the net capacity of the battery. Then you can finally calculate for yourself how far you can get. Purely arithmetically that would be with 90 kWh and 27 kWh/100km 333 km. However, you would then have to drain the battery from 100 to 0 percent and recharge it similarily.

Mercedes recommends fast reloading from 10 to 80 percent. However, this would be due after every 233 km. You can still try to stay below the combined 27 kWh/100km, which is probably possible without using air conditioning and heating. Nevertheless, the 405 km range mentioned by Mercedes do not open up.

After all, water-cooled 11 kW can be charged at home (probably three-phase on any normal power line), for which the usual overnight stay of the vehicle should suffice. It is also promised that the high-voltage battery is attached to the underbody in such a way that the passenger compartment is not restricted.

A flexible seating arrangement is indispensable for such a vehicle with very different purposes. The new model is no exception. It also understands 'Hey Mercedes' and its high-resolution 10-inch display provides even more information than all are necessary for a pure electric car, MBUX sends its greetings.

Driving should be pure joy. Left and right paddles behind the steering wheel are to control the recuperation, which makes the hydraulic brake largely unemployed in the strongest stage. The recuperation stage D even adjusts the brake effect to the navigation, traffic sign recognition and the data from radar or camera. 08/19
