Mercedes EQS 450 Plus Real-World Range Test: How Far Can It Go?

A recent video by automotive enthusiast Ángel Gaitan provides a real-world assessment of the Mercedes EQS 450 Plus electric vehicle's autonomy. Gaitan embarked on a journey to test the car's range, documenting the dashboard readings and his driving conditions, including carrying five passengers and luggage with air conditioning on at 126 km/h. Initially, the car showed 93% battery with an estimated maximum range of 660 km. After driving 40 km, the battery was at 93% with a 605 km estimated range. Later, after a significant portion of the journey, the car displayed 56% battery and an estimated 332 km remaining range, with a maximum potential of 402 km. Gaitan ultimately stopped to charge the vehicle after covering 442 km, with the car indicating approximately 100 km of range remaining. This suggests a total real-world range of around 542 km under the described conditions. He noted that the charging process at Aguilar de Campo required a specific application, as the Mercedes card was not functional. In a lighter moment, Gaitan shared a positive experience at a local establishment, 'Los Olmos,' where he was invited to eat while his car charged, contrasting it with a previous less favorable visit. This detailed account offers valuable insights into the practical performance of the Mercedes EQS 450 Plus for potential electric vehicle owners.
