Mercedes EQE the ultimate battery powered car!

The Mercedes EQ range has been growing quite a bit but until now they have been chiefly reworking the petrol-powered cars. Now the EQ range is really taking centre stage and it begins with the EQE which is the best of the best currently on sale

I am waiting for delivery of my new EQE and i'm very excited!! I walked into the dealership to order the new C Class but the salesman gently asked if id consider electric. I have always dismissed electric cars as too new technology and i would buy one in about 10 years when the tech had moved on and more advanced and out of it's infancy. But I was won over by this EQE and walked out of there having a complete change of mind and ordering one! A lot of reviewers say this is a very ugly car but i think it's stunning especially in Obsidian Black. First video ive ever watched by this guy and I love his vibe and energy and good nature. Brilliantly video!

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

Wow, great car.. Great review, Bob

[@johnosullivan3685]

Excellent review Bob and continue the good work

[@MrGhemoe]

Excellent review, nice tempo :)

[@jianwenli3340]

this is the most detail i have saw, very good👍🏻

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

Glad you like it Bob, got mine last week and it’s amazing

[@elmaslouhi-troonbeeckx1720]

Brilliant video, thank you

[@michaelstaunton1632]

What a very interesting & impressive vehicle, a really good review enjoyed that now well done Mercedes 👌👌…::: and you Bob !!!!

[@rustyfox81]

Great video as usual ! Very nice car indeed, the bonnet not opening would concern me a little, it says something about the internal workings and packaging that there’s is no storage space.

[@alanrutland4424]

Got the feeling you really liked that car Bob 😊.

[@MiniEggs1999]

Any sign of the king of estates doing an EV estate?

[@andypyatt2783]

Like you, I LOVE this car but ended up buying an EQB because of 3 reasons: the EQB was much less money, the EQE was “too luxurious “ for me (I am messy) and was worried that I would be too hard on it and we wanted a metal roof for kayaks so we wouldn’t risk damaging. I came from a Tesla and the lack of access to the bonnet doesn’t bother me. Thanks for the video, still makes me want to buy one😂😂

[@smashyrashy]

Adventure video with this car bob!

[@connclissmann6514]

Great video and I enjoyed your enthusiasm. I will certainly give it a look as the range is fantastic. I was also thinking of a Buzz from a totally different angle and you are not long getting towards 90k if you want extras (like a steering wheel 😊). It has nothing like the EQS range and the dealer mailed me to say Buzz delivery earliest 2024, it looks like.

[@ericrochford3134]

No question its a great car and I know it’s not a direct replacement for the ICE versions but aesthetically its just lacking something when you put it against an E Class.

[@columcreaven8860]

Great review as always, that is a company car if ever I saw one, hopefully the breakthrough in battery technology will filter down now to lower model's, would it be possible to home charge overnight?

[@oceanfroggie]

Entertaining and to the point as ever. Fab car. Yes the legacy counter attack is well underway. How does one jump start it should the 12v ever drain or have they thought of that? Are the steering wheel controls physical buttons or touch/haptic? Is there a dual motor version? What is the 0-100kph? What HP? Does the adaptive cruise control include lane centre following? I can just imagine that car with cream leather and walnut dashboard, slobber. So you are a fan then for sure?🙂

[@janmozesvansanten7098]

Thank you Bob, i like your video i order my car i get it 1 may. Grafit grey is the colour.

[@ram64man]

Bob please show rear seat and boot space with your videos

[@danielbrown2956]

The video's are good, but Bob is the absolute star of the show !!!!

[@kayhanokanozyurt8676]

I bought it when i watced this guy:))

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

i've been shopping for an EV for a few months now, and I am stuck. I find my self cross shopping between a Model Y, Chevy Bolt (would be 2nd vehicle), and a Mercedes EQE SUV which i "could afford" but feel guilty buying.... I feel like it's the best car i've been privileged to do see...

[@frankmetcalfe9391]

When I win the Euro Lotto tonight I will be interested Bob, can it be charged at home. Great video 👍

[@jasonblair4057]

Now this is moving the bar forward for legacy auto makers and now consumers will start to benefit from the competition. 🤞🤞

[@nehtals]

Great video Bob. Will you be getting your hands on BMX iX anytime soon?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

I’ve two videos up about IX, that’s out awhile now. Spoiler; it’s huge 😂

[@litcostello1223]

It's a great all rounder for the price range

[@brendanjburns2969]

Great Car Bob , 🚗 👌 but there ain't to many people out there with 89 to 105 thousand euro to play around with , so maybe when it's 10 years old the common people may be able to get one , till then all the othere brands with EVS between 40 to 55 grand will be the main stay of EV motoring for a long time , but as usual a great review 👍 😀

[@jimsshed2587]

Is there a boot. Is it large or small

[@automotivel3501]

Beautiful car, however the non opening bonnet would put me off, for no reason? The old Audi A2 was the same. The common man is being left behind with the new car prices. Love Bob's enthusiasm for these cars. Also that he will call out the faults.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

Yes there are engineering reasons for doing it - you can open it easy yourself. But you don´t need to. Inside is a full HEPA filter which gives you the cleanest interior air in the industry. The clam shell design reduces the drag a little bit too. I have a car with a frunk and without - hardly use a frunk ever, I guess thats the thinking.

[@kayhanokanozyurt8676]

By the way here in turkey i paid almost double price compering other european countries...

[@bekabeka71]

Bob I know it’s very weird but would you be able to also test out farm machinery? Tractors? Like Massey Ferguson, John Deere etc 🚜

[@RCMediaSigns]

What is the main difference between the 300 and 300+ thanks great job

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

slightly larger battery - plus models have the longest range

[@user-we6fi9se3g]

Ye it is beautiful machine out of this world except for the price, I would prefer a 2 bed 2 bath Apartment in Spain.

[@johhny711]

Amazing car, going to watch your review of the EQS next, and then I'm going to look for a good second-hand Leaf on Donedeal.

[@kengormley4530]

better than the taycan Bob ??

[@brendandevoy8178]

Great car no doubt but this is just beyond the reach of almost everyone. It’s an €89000 car when most people are struggling to pay their electricity bills . The peoples wagon this is not and the looks are grotesque

[@ram64man]

It’s good but it’s no Genesis gv60 , or try thr new electrified gv70 on press day it’s truly top of the line compared with others

[@paddydowney6269]

I know “whataboutery” is all a moot point when pricing cars, but would you pay €90k for this full EV ahead of a 18mnt old S540E LWB phev? I think I probably wouldn’t

[@blex5579]

that`s 89 grand for the tree-hugging equivalent of an E-class... that`s 190.000 Deutsch-Mark minus inflation....entry-level. for an E-CLASS. i rest my case. from germany. ps- entry level for an E-class 20 years ago was 27k €€€€€€€€.

[@edwardoutthere3189]

Great car Bob great heads up on all,price only issue we will pro key as tax payers be getting few for our so called politicians

[@R-Tap]

Have seen a couple of these and EQS around Dublin, great presence, a Tesla what, now? Ferrari Roma, cool in IRE.

[@ram64man]

The only reason is they want to limit who can change its air filters and fluids for cooling than use a electric certified 3rd party mechanic, than pay the premium Mercedes’. The excuse Mercedes use for not opening the bonnet battery off gassing is a safety issue, if that was the case then what is that the big whole in the floor used for ventilation and motor/wheel movements disperse it. And why fit the filter that feeds the cabin if it was a health risk. Just an excuse to be different and make money, oh buy the way the gas strut mount still exist if you look meaning it was deliberately changed after it was designed

[@beefiron]

Get off the bloody fence, Bob, and tell us what you really think of it.

[@Dave_Stafford]

Obviously the bonnet will not be an issue in itself but it's the mindset that bothers me. Consumers have a right to repair and becomes more important as the car ages. When a car manufacturer actively works against this, it will encourage premature recycling. (Manufacturer 1: Environment 0)

[@mamba101]

€80+K car for a week or so, and all you have to do is chat for 15mins while driving home.. lol, nice gig.

[@hirasingh7323]

Lovely car. Great review. If I own it then I should be allowed to access any part of the car. I don't want any manufacturer telling me what I can or can't access. Its my risk not there's. It big companies taking away our rights.

[@AdrianMcDaid]

You can you just need few spanners. It's fine the bonnet does not open nor do we have any idea what we would be looking at

[@thelifeofbatteries2603]

@@AdrianMcDaid no you don’t. The bonnet release is still there, it’s just behind a cover. There are no gas struts or bonnet prop though

[@alexmn00183]

For God's sake 80 grand for a big battery and two big tablets ? Seriously ? This is what the car industry big shift is all about ? Those screens are just thrown in there, no integration with the dashboard no nothing. I guess it is all about the marketing these day not so much for the inovation. Look at the latest iphone: same sh*t, different package.

[@Rayk76]

Eqs Eqe just look awful tbh from the front anyway, Audi are doing it right the new electric A6 is visually stunning.....can't wait until u try it

[@m3photo726]

Yep. Lovely range … by today’s standards. In only a few years’ time, though, we’ll be laughing at this when EV range will be calculated in months …

[@mattmcmanus2384]

I'll stay in my golf r till the end.

[@ManxAndy]

90k ……😳😳😳. I’m sorry but , the car could be 10K , I still would be disappointed , it’s the charging infrastructure that is letting them down….I’m not convinced with EV, , hydrogen fuel cell hybrid cars will be the future…..👍🇮🇲

[@Hyrppa95]

Hydrogen would be fine if you are willing to pay three times as much for the fuel. Plus maintenance is lot more expensive than an EV and the prices are not much different either.

[@mcdonnellpadraic]

The interior of this one isn't great.
