CCS2 DC Port · Rear Left Quarter Panel
All electric vehicles charge fastest from 10% to 80%. Above 80%, the on-board battery management system (BMS) intentionally slows charging throughput to manage cell temperature and preserve battery chemistry. On highway road trips, unplugging around 80% is the optimal time-saving strategy.
⚡ Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) Supported: Supplies up to 3.3 kW to run camping appliances, power tools, and laptops directly from the car.

What is the real-world highway range of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV?
While laboratory MIDC/ARAI tests cite ~951 km, our verified testing in Indian conditions shows a real highway driving range of approximately 453 km at 95 km/h with continuous air conditioning. In city driving with regenerative braking, drivers typically observe ~566 km.
How fast can the EQE SUV charge on a DC fast charger?
Equipped with a standard CCS2 charging port, the EQE SUV accepts up to 170 kW peak DC power. It can charge from 10% to 80% SoC in approximately 29 minutes at compatible 60kW+ charging stations.
Can I charge the EQE SUV at home using a regular socket?
With a portable charger, yes. On a regular power socket at about 2.3 kW it adds roughly 2% charge an hour. The EQE SUV takes up to 11 kW on AC, so a wallbox at that power is the fastest way to charge it at home, about 8.2 hours from 0 to 100%. Have an electrician check the circuit first, and never charge through an extension cord.
What is the battery warranty offered by Mercedes-Benz?
The battery pack and electric motor are covered under an OEM warranty of 8 years or 1,60,000 km, guaranteeing minimum 75% State of Health (SoH) retention.
The numbers. Then the road.
Planning a road trip in a EQE SUV?
Never worry about range or queue times. The ChargeSpot mobile app automatically plans optimal charging stops based on your battery capacity, highway speed, and real-time charger availability across all Indian networks.
