Introducing Mercedes-EQ
The Mercedes-EQ range consists of various fully-electric vehicles, a range which has been expanding consistently year on year for some time now. The ultimate goal is to make a seamless transition from fossil-fuelled vehicles to a more sustainable power source.
All-electric Mercedes-EQ vehicles include the stylish EQA, the powerful EQC and the practical EQV MPV, all of which offer an excellent range and fast-charging capabilities.
Finally, Mercedes-Benz also have a range of cars, including Mercedes-AMG models, that utilise their EQ Boost mild hybrid technology.
What are the different types of hybrid and electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV)
Mild hybrid systems improve fuel economy harvesting energy that is normally lost when braking, storing it in a battery until required, assisting the engine when accelerating. The engine has the ability to shut down when stationary, also saving fuel.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
HEVs combine a conventional combustion engine with an electric motor and battery pack, charged through regenerative braking. HEVs are capable of travelling short distances on electric power alone, with the engine cutting in and out as required.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Working in a similar way to a HEV, combining a combustion engine with an electric motor, a PHEV has a much larger battery pack, meaning it can travel much further on electric power only, but needs to be plugged in to charge fully.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power. There is no combustion engine. BEVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and need to be charged using an external power supply, preferably a dedicated electric car plug-in charge point.
Mercedes-EQ
Mercedes-EQ is the name for the growing range of fully electric cars. These cars do not have an internal combustion engine (ICE) to power them, instead they have an electric motor.
Due to the lack of petrol or diesel engines, EQ cars deliver an almost silent drive, instant torque and zero tailpipe emissions.
Each Mercedes-Benz electric car has a different all-electric range, this is the number of miles that can be driven before the battery electric vehicle (BEV) will need charging at home, work or at a public charging station.
Not only are EVs kinder to the environment than conventionally powered vehicles, you can also expect cheaper running costs.
