Its quite an eerie feeling in the EQE500 especially when there is no noise in the surroundings either.
Mercedes EQE500 Regen & Charging
The EQE gets three levels of regen braking, Zero, Medium and high that can be adjusted via the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Mercedes claims a range of 550 km on a single charge (WLTP-certified) but I expect realistic figure to be around the 450 km. Mercedes provides an 11 kW wall box charger with the EQE that can charge the car from 10% to 100% in 9.5 hours. With a 100 kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 32 minutes.
Mercedes EQE500 Verdict
The EQE500 is a welcome addition to the growing EV market in India. The dynamic styling, luxurious interior, tech and impressive performance make it quite the package. Sure it might be more expensive than its direct rivals but a 10 year battery warranty and service packages make it a very sweet deal. The Mercedes EQE goes to show that the three pointed star is on the right path to complete electric mobility and Im honestly looking to drive it more extensively in the days to come.
