What are the running costs?

How much an EQE will cost to run really depends on where you charge it. Plugging in at home can really save you money, while filling up at the rapid chargers typically found at service stations will cost nearly the same as petrol.

According to our miles per pound calculator, you should be able to do 5.2-11.5 miles per pound. On paper it looks similar to the BMW i4 and Tesla Model S and during our testing we found this to be realistic.

Range and charging

The EQE’s range and charging depends on which model you choose. Both the 300 and 350 have a maximum range of 375 miles. 

Different trim levels within the ranges vary, with the wheel size making a big difference in how far the car will go. But our testing of both models resulted in a comfortable 300 miles of motorway driving. Around town we reckon you could eke out more than 300 miles too.

The range calculator is accurate, giving the BMW i4 a run for its money. But it’s not quite as truthful as Telsa’s or Hyundai’s as the predicted range and range at the end of our journeys didn’t quite tally up. 

Both models take around 15 hours to fully charge using a 7kW charger and will go from 20-80% in around 30 minutes at a 150kw rapid charger.

Servicing and maintenance

The EQE comes with Mercedes’ standard three-year, unlimited mileage warranty. Its battery however, gets a separate 10-year 155,000-miles warranty.
