Mercedes EQC 400: Tyre Wear, Charging Cost & Ownership Experience

[@benstagdospain]

I have had mine a year. Its a brilliant car. I have the amg pack and the alloys are the best looking alloys ever!!! My friends got Tesla's, they got in the merc and were amazed by the interior build quality. Its a joy to be in and drive. Keep the posts going, please.

Intelligent Octopus from Octopus Energy is about 10c per kwh for 6 hours nightly but about 40c at other times- depending on postcode. It does feature 100% renewable electricity though. For prevention of tyre wear on outside edge of front tyres, I avoid any tyre slippage such as from pressing accelerator hard in comfort mode when sport mode is more suited to that. I have also found pumping tyres up to max recommended - which also is ideal if carrying lots onboard - seems to help. Which is 43psi rear and 47psi front (though because tyre measurements naturally go up when driving to pump, due to heat expanding the air pressure inside the tyres, this is about up to 47psi rear and 49 psi front to account for that pump reading when tyres are warm). It also seems to improve mpg though perhaps you are better at judging than me .

Thanks for this. Checked out Octopus about 4 months ago. They did not seem to be taking on new customers looking for a better deal until the energy prices drop. Will check again. Thanks for the tyre advice. I have only topped up my tyre pressures once or twice. 😅always relying on the trip computer to tell me if I need to.

Hey man, loving your videos. So I have a question, I am looking at getting the same car. However, the biggest thing that’s bugging me is AMG or sport.. looking back do you have any regrets of not getting the AMG line, do you drive past AMG models thinking.. ah! Wish I got the AMG or are you content!?? Curious to know… I wish the Sport had the side steps for one and different alloys..

Thanks mate for the update.

Any time!

Regarding the wearing tyres, I guess the tyre companies will come up with tyres special for EVs to endure the weight and torque.
