This race to the finish line is a lot more exciting and entertaining than F1.

Charging a battery is like a parking lot, when its empty you can fly in and park where ever, when its getting full you have to drive round finding space which takes more time

[@c-fb]

I drove my EX30PU from Stockholm to Malmö and back earlier this week and i can attest that the charging curve on it (and Smart) is crap! First the siesta if you arrive with less than 10% and that huge dip after 80%, it’s really a pain to charge past 80%. I hope there will be an update on that too.

[@Scrap-press]

Only at Mercedes they downgrade their facelifts. Pay more get less 😂😂

[@visionmodernclassics3062]

Thats non sense! You can still order the slighty smaller battery if you are buying a 250 without a plus . 250, 300, 350 still uses the in house produced battery. The facelift of EQA EQB did not effect the powertrain!

[@xaboa]

@@visionmodernclassics3062 he didnt say anything about the powertrain, just stated that the facelifted car despite the higher price tag has a worse absolute and much worse relative (to the bat size) charging curve. Ioniq 38 kWh joined the chat

[@Rumpftelpfrumpf]

Looks like the voltage of the new EQA 250+ battery is a bit low.

[@user-hb8sq6ce9u]

And amps can not go above 300 A in both of EQAs.

[@JohanWS]

Great content!

[@simonwile5110]

I have not managed to ever get more than 93kw charge speed into my EQA350 despite using 100/150/350kw chargers. Have used navigation to get there so it should "know" its to charge. Is there anything I can try to check this is not a defect?

[@c.brinker4387]

Thanks, very interesting. I Like the efficiency and the design of the EQA, but the charging speed is not acceptable for long trips, especially if you look at the price of the car. Guess Mercedes does not invest any monies into the old platform

[@SailingFloh]

I rather would have a high charging speed at low SOC than a flat curve, better for Roadtrips who charges over 80% on a Roadtrip?

[@colla555]

I see you got a new Smart in the garage 😮

[@tridrean]

❤❤❤

[@emmell9190]

Today I charged 54 kWh in 32 mins (6-80%) with my EQA 250 (non-plus) from 03/2023. Peak charging power "only" 104 kW, but super flat curve. At the end, I reached 414 V, which the 250+ battery didn't even reach at 90%. This explains, why the 250+ battery charges so much slower. So happy that I didn't spend the extra money for the 250+ instead of my 250.

[@sender5804]

they should ask Porsche how to charge a battery ...

Nice car in the background.🚀

[@Zedus-rl9hp]

"Das Beste oder nichts" - “The best or nothing” absolutely does not apply here. And here the fear of the cheaper Asian manufacturers is justified if you want to sell a "premium" vehicle that has unacceptable weaknesses

[@Kamille1]

Wouldn't the battery be an LFP ??? Mercedes does not communicate any information on its site, brochure, manual ...

[@bjornnyland]

No

[@Kamille1]

@@bjornnyland Do you have detailed information on your side ? Do you have an application that gives information about the cells and their tension, etc ? Thanks

[@xaboa]

If the charging speed of the 250+ is limited by its battery type's reliability then that's a serious concern about the lifetime of such a car. If it is however limited by choice and not by limitations, that's just capitalism - worrisome to the same, maybe bigger extent.

[@verboseEV]

Every car has limited charging for reliability reasons of battery. The 250+ Adds the same amount of kWh in 30 min as the #1

[@xaboa]

@@verboseEV while the #1 having a smaller battery so that is a higher relative charging speed - a so called higher C-rating. The 250+ managing less than 1.3 C is a very disappointing result with today's battery tech.

[@visionmodernclassics3062]

Its a exclusive battery for the 250+ which was already available before the Facelift /Mopf. So the howl powertrain in Facelift Version was not touched at all. You still recieve the in House battery with the higher operating voltage if you Go for a 250,300 or 350

[@Kamille1]

@@visionmodernclassics3062 Does anyone have technical information on the 250+ battery ?

[@NO3V]

Well.. At least it's not efficient.
