A lot of this is a misunderstanding of what is meant by "range". It's true that if you do lots of short trips in the cold the total mileage achieved across all those trips by the battery will be low. That matters a bit - you'll pay a bit more for electricity. But it doesn't indicate how far the...

Agree it makes sense to lease at current rates given the big risk individuals would otherwise take on the resale value. That said, clearly the lessors or their insurers are confident on the resale values, or else they wouldn't be offering the very good rates we are currently seeing on the...

Slightly odd thread! You're not "getting" 170 miles of range or whatever. That's just what a very conservative and slightly erratic forecast tool is predicting what you would get if you decided to take a long trip. It's a rough guide but no more. If you're doing lots of small trips...

Few thoughts. - Range definitely goes down in cold weather. Norwegian testing at minus 10 found the EQC lost about 25%. So at British winter temperatures it will be better than that. But noticeable. - Don't take the range forecast too seriously! MB deliberately set it conservatively to avoid...

Can see the fun of this, even though I'm at the other end of the noise spectrum with an EQC400... With that, there is a slightly more serious issue that it's so quiet you do sometimes need to have the your hand over the horn ready for dosy pedestrians... The slightly more childish thing to do...

To be honest, I think this is a superb vehicle. It's astonishly quiet, serene and comfortable to drive. Probably quieter than a Roller. As a classical music fan, I found it almost impossible to enjoy symphonies in ICE cars - the sound interference especially in the bass being prohibitive. The...
