Overview


The Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ is a large, fully-electric luxury saloon and the second to be designed on their EVA platform. As such, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were looking at the EQS. Like all Mercedes vehicles, the EQE 350+ sports a luxurious interior giving an effortlessly quick, quiet, and comfortable ride. Its 90kW battery gives it an official range of up to 394 miles, depending on the spec, although its maximum charging rate (170kW, some 15% lower than the EQS) could be better. But this is just nitpicking; the EQE 350+ is a fantastic evolution of the timeless E-Class!

Charging time for a Mercedes EQE

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your EQE from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

* Based on Pod Point estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
