Electric vehicles present clear benefits in the areas of sustainability and efficiency, but also in performance and design. At Mercedes-Benz, we pledge to embrace the electric future while continuing to build the greatest cars the world has ever seen.
Electricity in the United States is typically around 12 cents per kWh*. If you drive 15,000 miles a year, that’s about $540*. A year of gas, on the other hand, can cost around $1,400*. On top of that, the price of gasoline can fluctuate wildly, whereas the price of electricity is relatively stable.

All Mercedes-EQ vehicles undergo rigorous safety testing, just like their gas-powered counterparts. They are tested in extreme heat and cold, are extensively crash-tested, and are built with inherent safety measures to minimize risk in the event of a collision.
Electric Motor
The Mercedes-EQ electric vehicles all use synchronous motors. What this means: the rotor turns at the same speed as the magnetic field, which in turn provides high torque at low speed equaling efficiency, compact size, and lower weight.
From quicker acceleration to elevated ride comfort, the benefits of electric power are immediate.
Lithium-ion Batteries
Mercedes-Benz EQ vehicle’s next-generation Lithium-ion batteries set new benchmarks in performance, efficiency and charging capacity. Their high energy per unit mass relative to other electrical energy storage systems makes them ideal for a longer-range EV.
Technology "under the hood" is matched by technology in the driver’s seat. Improved battery power is matched by improved design.
Charging
Safe, convenient and cost-effective, the Home Flex from ChargePoint can be installed at your home, so you can charge overnight and be ready to hit the road. Or Mercedes me Charge is the official charging network of Mercedes-EQ. Through MBUX in your vehicle or the Mercedes me connect app on your phone, you can seamlessly plan trips, locate charging stations and initiate payment at nearly 60,000 public chargers nationwide.
