As we accelerate into an electrified future, the range of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, combining future-focused technology with unrivalled comfort and performance.

 

Let’s take a closer look at how Mercedes-Benz EVs are equipped for now and tomorrow, as well as our current line-up.

 

Innovative EV batteries

 

Mercedes-Benz EVs run on state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery packs built for longevity and performance.

 

The batteries in our all-electric vehicles are covered by an 8-10-year High Voltage (HV) warranty (depending on the model) and allow for ample driving ranges. The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ SUV and Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ SUV, for example, boast an NEDC-tested range of 578km and 564km respectively. Given that Australian drivers travel around 33–38km a day, this is comfortably sufficient for most, allowing them to do everything from their daily commute to longer weekend road trips without interruption.

 

Convenience and savings

 

There are some potential savings associated with leasing or owning an EV. For example, a higher Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold exists for fuel-efficient vehicles resulting in lower LCT amount on EVs. The Australian government introduced a Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption for eligible zero or low-emissions cars purchased on or after July 1, 2022 – you can find out more information or check your eligibility here.

 

Some states and territories also offer discounted stamp duty rates and/or registration charges. For example, in the Northern Territory, from 1 July 2022 until 30 June 2027 you can receive free registration for new and existing EVs.

 

In addition to these upfront and ownership incentives, EVs can also have lower running costs. While the cost of charging an EV varies depending on a number of factors including usage, the Electric Vehicle Council says that taking advantage of lower-cost electricity – whether from daytime solar or off-peak overnight tariffs at home or work – can deliver savings of up to 90% compared to petrol or diesel vehicles. To help estimate the cost of charging an EV at home, check out this calculator.

 

Whether you opt to lease or buy an EV, our EV lease offers and financing products can be adapted to your specific needs. If you prefer to purchase an EV, we’d be pleased to discuss our offers and prices with you.

 

Flexible EV charging options

 

To account for the busy lives of modern drivers, Mercedes-Benz supports various EV charging solutions to suit different needs – including the option to charge an EV at home.

 

Home charging: The optional Mercedes-Benz Wallbox provides fast and convenient charging at home, with a maximum charging power of up to 22kW, six metres of cable length and a type-2 connector.

Public charging: When you drive a Mercedes-Benz EV, you get access to a nationwide charging network through Mercedes me Charge. This integrated service allows for easy location, activation and payment at EV charging stations – including Chargefox stations – to Mercedes-Benz owners in Australia. Whether you’re driving in the city or on the motorway, the nearest suitable charging point will be conveniently displayed in your vehicle via MBUX or the Mercedes-Benz App on your smartphone.

Fast charging: All Mercedes-Benz EVs come with DC fast-charging capabilities for rapid top-ups during long journeys.

 

Select Mercedes-Benz EVs – including the EQA, EQB, EQE and EQS SUVs – receive a one-year unlimited free charging subscription to all Chargefox public charging stations. This subscription encompasses all station types (UR, DC and AC), which is sure to provide greater value and convenience to Mercedes-Benz customers.

 

However you choose to top up your range, it won’t take long before you’re back on the road. Both the EQA and EQB SUVs, for example, can be charged from 10–80 per cent in approximately 35 minutes using a DC fast charger. At home, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox can fully charge a Mercedes-Benz EV in about 5.5 hours depending on conditions, making overnight power-ups convenient and efficient.

1. EQA – the urban explorer 

 

The EQA is a compact all-electric SUV that’s perfect for professionals, couples and young families living in metropolitan areas. Its sleek exterior complements the urban landscape, while its responsive steering and agile handling are ideal for navigating busy streets and tight parking spaces.

 

The EQA 250+ SUV comes with an NEDC-tested 578km driving range, making it well-suited for everyday driving as well as weekend excursions.

2. EQB – a family-friendly SUV


The EQB 250+ SUV is the ideal EV option for growing families looking for space and versatility, without compromising on premium features or comfort.

 

With a third row of seats, this flexible all-rounder can accommodate up to seven passengers. On days where you’ve got more gear than passengers, the boot can be conveniently expanded by folding the third row of seats down. Better still, HANDS-FREE ACCESS allows you to open and close the boot lid with a kick motion under the rear shock absorber when you don’t have any free hands.

 

With a generous NEDC-tested range of 564km, the EQB 250+ SUV is a convenient choice for people who spend a lot of time driving to and from work, running errands or ferrying the kids to school – not to mention weekend road trips and extracurricular activities.

Inside, the optionally available MBUX Hyperscreen enhances convenience and connectivity: three brilliant displays merge into a single high-resolution user interface, putting navigation, entertainment and vehicle controls right at your fingertips.

 

The intuitive layout of the central display – which suggests the most important functions and puts them directly in the field of vision – means you can easily access everything you need without distractions. It’s perfect for busy professionals and anyone else who likes to stay connected while on the move. 

 

The EQE SUV also comes in a Mercedes-AMG variant, the Mercedes-AMG EQE 53 4MATIC+ SUV. Equipped with a powerful, high-performance battery and state-of-the-art electronics, it offers enhanced performance and a dynamic driving experience.

First-class entertainment, exquisite sound systems, seamless connectivity and intuitive operation are part-and-parcel of the EQS, but each model has its own unique characteristics. The Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan, for example, is a great option for drivers looking for a smooth, agile and responsive drive – whereas those of us who need a little more space might opt for the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, a standard seven-seater with three rows of seats and an EASY-ENTRY system that ensures relaxed entry and exit from the vehicle.

 

The latest addition to the EQS family is the long-awaited all new Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV.

For drivers who like to venture off the beaten track and need a vehicle that’s as capable on challenging terrain as it is on city streets and highways, the Mercedes-Benz G 580 is a compelling proposition. It blends serious off-road ability with smooth, responsive electric performance, making it well suited to both everyday driving and more demanding road trips.

 

Marking the most significant evolution of the iconic G-Class to date, the G 580 preserves everything drivers love about the original – its unmistakable boxy silhouette, rugged styling and renowned off-road capability – while introducing a state-of-the-art electric powertrain. This impressive combination delivers enhanced stability, instant torque, and a commanding 432kW and 1,164Nm of torque. With an NEDC-tested range of 567km and a dedicated off-road driving mode, it’s truly the car of adventurers.
