Mercedes EQC range test

When they announced the EQC i was so disappointed that it has an ICE car platform, but now i think it is a really good car, whopping 10k € cheaper than an e-tron and 8k € cheaper than an i-pace, with Merc luxury and reliability, i'd pick this one over the other two if i had to choose.

@@simonplait5531 I doubt that any EV driver would drive faster than 180 km/h, maybe in the future yes but right now with the current tech 180 km/h is enough i'd say.

It's crazy that the EQC scored better on its crash test rating than the Tesla Model 3. I'm really liking the EQC.

[@gforce95vn]

Impressive efficiency for a SUV. Glad we're getting more efficient luxury EVs.

[@gman7690]

MQNguyen "SUV" :) Nice car, no doubt! But very low ground clearance.

[@davidbryant2872]

Wow, the efficiency is almost as good as my Tesla Model S 70D! Bjorn's test showed about 310 Wh/mi, and the 70D was EPA rated at 292 Wh/mi. Pretty close, especially considering the EQC has a higher profile, possibly heavier, and the weather or elevation changes might have driven up the energy consumption a bit. His calculated range of 261 miles exceeds my 70D's EPA rated range of 240 miles. (The 75D has 259 miles of EPA range; neither the 70D nor the 75D is available any more.) I may have to take a serious look at this car once it becomes available in the US.

[@cyco1978]

I’ve been waiting in this test, it’s now the #1 on my list to buy unless something else (beside Tesla) get better range. Thanks dude 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@CoolSilver]

Really good shit. I have been nudging my friend to go electric and he mentioned Mercedes ... I mentioned this one. Glad it is in the top running for range.

That is impressive! One of the best range EVs that's not a Tesla, and it looks great too.

[@eddgrs9193]

It's really not bad for a compliance car. Can't wait to see the first purpose built Mercedes EV, i think the EQS has a dedicated platform.

[@richardhall206]

I bought my EPC after watching this video. I've had it for 6 months and have to say it is the best car I've owned in its class. Fast, comfortable, silent and tech is a joy. Personal favourite feature: adaptive LED matrix lights.

[@simonhenshall4294]

Keen to hear of your experiences down the road. Reliability?

[@SpeedFlap]

This car refutes all that prejudice that an EV on ICE platform could never be that good. I also didn't expect this win. Next time we should wait for the street results before bashing newly announced cars in advance. The engineers seem to have implemented so many optimizations we all coudn't see from outside. Now we all have the wide choice whether we want performance, range, style, space, luxury... 2019 will be remembered as the marker year when a broad range of high class EVs hit the market. In about 2025 we will have a large market full of desirable classy used EVs everyone can afford.

[@tymanot]

Power limit restrictions start early as in the B250E. Looks similar to me. Great video of a great car. I cannot wait to drive it myself. Thanks Björn.

I knew this was a good car. Impressive, and I think it looks better than the other 2 as well. Good job Merc.

[@Trades46]

That's actually commendable since Mercedes openly stated the EQC to be using the same platform as the ICE GLC & GLE, yet is somehow manages to go further on a SMALLER battery pack than the purpose built Jaguar I-Pace and the bigger battery Audi e-tron.

[@olfi5939]

Thanks for new test - the other car definitely had an Akku-problem and not "false" software showing a false range. Greetings from Tolbiacum

[@carlomorischi3435]

High speed range/consumption test at 120km/h?

[@0tispunkm3y3r]

Yes! Then he should borrow a Taycan and see what the autobahn range is ... 160mph, pegged all the way! (Not that kind of pegged, I’m sure Bjorn isn’t for that!)

[@davithdevries6774]

Bjorn has done that as well, check out his live stream trip to Frankfurt. It is about 240-270wh/km at 120-130km/h GPS speeds in autumn weather conditions. So roughly the same as Model X, maybe a bit better.

The range estimator tells me I should get about 270 miles from a 50kwh battery - around 435km. I always have been a conservative driver though.

[@robinorhysrhys1562]

Bjorn, at the beginning when you went downhill on coasting what happened if there's a malfunction (rolling down with no brake)? Do you have emergency break? How do you stop the car? At the end when you are going uphill at 5%, what happened if you ran to 0 charge and you are the middle of an uphill? Also curious to learn how did you know the other Mercedes had faulty battery? Thanks for sharing.

[@wermagst]

In case you didn't know, all electric cars also have normal friction brakes. They're just not used most of the time as recuperating is more efficient.

[@lorenzmuller4000]

robin o rhys rhys Why should you need an emergency break? There are still normal breaks.

[@michelrusso192]

Bjørn, well done. From your experience how would this translate into the equivalent range at more ‘normal’ WE highway speeds, say, 120-125 km/h? 300 kms or less?? Thanks! Mike

[@muffythevampirelayer]

I took delivery of my new EQA 250 AMG Line last week. Love the car, BUT and a very BIG BUT, as it's a major fail from Mercedes. One cannot schedule a charge from within the settings in the car, or via the Mercedes ME app. This is a basic function that most other (Cheaper) EVs can perform. However, this basic function is not available on the premium car, with a premium price tag. If you have an electricity tariff like Octopus go, you cannot time a charge to take advantage of electricity at 5p per Kwh between 00:30 and 04:30. Unacceptable in my book. Come on Mercedes, get it sorted. It's only a software tweak that can be done over the air.

As for calling my post 'spam', I have to confess to being a little offended. It was a genuine post, that I thought you would be genuinely interested in.

Question from a IC user, So in an emergency what would range be like driving at say 50km/hr whole time on full charge and you had to make it as far as possible.

[@ryccoh]

Hypermilers have gotten over 1000 kilometers out of a Tesla pack. If you go I think 50 kmh that's near the ideal speed for electric motors so you should be able to go quite a bit further than the 261 miles here. I'd say arounf 50% more is probably possible.

To include not only masses but also the wealthy. They need to get on the EV bandwagon first, because they are burning more fuel than economy class cars. And then EQC is a great option for that kind of market which is by the way growing by the day in developing Asian countries.

Sadly it is not. The specs given by Hyundai were confirmed by Björn in his video. No more fast charging Ioniq. It behaves the same as Kona 39kWh as it's basically the same design on the inside. Hyundai only makes them to offset their diesel range in Germany and other EU countries to make sure they don't pay huge fines for CO2 levels. This is how it works. All about the money :D
