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 assist the ICE and improve fuel economy by harvesting and storing energy that is normally lost when braking.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
HEVs combine an ICE with an electric motor and battery pack that is charged through regenerative braking to offer all-electric driving for short distances.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)
A PHEV uses a similar setup to a HEV, but has a much larger battery pack to offer a more substantial all-electric range. You will need to plug in to fully recharge.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)
BEVs only use an electric motor and battery pack for power, producing zero tailpipe emissions and impressive all-electric ranges. There is no combustion engine, so you will need to plug in to recharge.
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.
