What is the range of Mercedes Benz electric cars?

Although the autonomy in electric cars remains a key factor in the purchase decision, in Mercedes Benz we work to offer cars with a wide range of usability. It is for this reason that all models in the Mercedes EQ range offer sufficient autonomy for daily commuting. And when their battery is depleted, the high adaptability and short recharging times allow you to get back on the road in a matter of minutes.

Today's electric cars have become a clear sign of how cars will be in the future. Personal mobility is gradually adopting electricity as a source of propulsion and Mercedes Benz is leading the race with efficient, high performance and high quality vehicles. Discover, below, the electric cars with the longest range of Mercedes Benz.

What is autonomy in electric cars?

But first, let's define autonomy in electric cars. To speak of autonomy is to refer to the operating range of its battery, i.e., how many kilometers it can travel on a single charge. To determine this figure, Mercedes electric models are subjected to the rigorous tests of the European cycle World Harmonized Light-dutyVehicle Test Procedure(WLTP).

Through real driving tests, the global standard determines the pollutant levels, CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of traditional cars. In the case of electric vehicles, this procedure determines the electric consumption at different speed ranges and the autonomy of their battery. It thus determines how many kilometers can be covered on a single battery charge and provides a homologated reference figure.

Better in the city than on the highway

While combustion cars consume more fuel in the city than on roads and highways, electric cars have the opposite effect. Consumption is higher at high and sustained speeds than in environments where there is repeated acceleration and braking. Thus, the WLTP cycle always determines that an electric car offers greater autonomy in the city than on the highway.

This is due to the role played by energy regeneration systems in electric cars. All models in the Mercedes EQ range are equipped with different technologies designed to recover the energy invested in acceleration. For example, regenerative braking reuses the energy generated while braking to recharge the battery. This effect is also produced when we lift the accelerator pedal and take advantage of inertia. This last technique, in turn, is key to reducing consumption and saving fuel/energy.

In this way, electric cars and plug-in hybrids are more efficient and effective in urban environments. However, the range of Mercedes Benz electric cars is long enough for you to feel confident even on long road trips. Our revolutionary EQ range is designed for both city drivers and regular commuters.

Mercedes Benz electric cars with greater autonomy

Mercedes Benz electric cars are leaders and benchmarks in autonomy inside and outside the automotive market. Our range offers both a generous range of usability and significant versatility to suit almost any type of driver. The EQ range offers both sedans and SUVs and even minivans.

The king of electric cars with the longest range is the new Mercedes EQS. This luxurious and technological electric sedan announces up to 770 kilometers of range with a single charge of its 107.8 kWh battery. This, coupled with an impressive performance of 385 kW (524 hp), makes the EQS the new benchmark for electric cars and luxury sedans.

Our SUV range already offers up to three 100% electric models. From the Mercedes EQA, with 424 kilometers of range; through the new Mercedes EQB and its 419 km; to the pioneer of the range, the Mercedes EQC with 417 kilometers, all offer the best ranges of Mercedes Benz electric cars.

And for families looking for a versatile, high-capacity electric car with the brand's quality standards, the Mercedes EQV. The new EQV takes the versatility of the V-Class and makes it fully electric with 355 kilometers of range. In addition, it continues to offer all those features that make the V-Class unique, such as its two body options, up to 8 seats inside and a powerful 150 kW (204 hp) engine.

Recharge in minutes

You have already discovered that the autonomy of Mercedes Benz electric cars is sufficient for everyday use and even for traveling. In addition to this impressive performance, there is the peace of mind of recharging in a matter of minutes. The Mercedes EQ model range enjoys great adaptability, i.e., it can recharge its battery at different speeds and powers.

This allows you to adapt recharging to your needs. If you are traveling and want to make a quick stop to rest and charge the battery, the new EQS will increase its range from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes. The EQA can perform the same operation from a fast-charging station in just 30 minutes, while the EQC needs 40 minutes. A coffee, clear your mind, a good conversation or check your social networks, and the Mercedes electric models will be ready to continue the journey.

Leave behind the fear of running out of autonomy in your electric car. The Mercedes Benz range of electrified vehicles is designed to adapt to your pace of life. Remember that you can also recharge your car at home or at work, and even at public chargers with different charging powers. And if you need it ready in the morning, leave it plugged in overnight and check how it's charging via the EQ Ready mobile app.

These are just some of the advantages in terms of autonomy and charging times of the Mercedes EQ electric range. Go to your Official Mercedes Concesur Dealer and discover how driving an advanced, technological and safe electric car can change your life. What are you waiting for?
