Battery electric vehicles, more commonly known as all-electric vehicles, are powered by a rechargeable battery that stores electricity. Their electric motors convert this electricity into mechanical energy that drives the vehicle. All-electric vehicles capture and store electricity through recharging and regenerative braking, instead of burning fuel to generate power. 

The electric era is here, and our vehicles can help you seamlessly make the switch. They feature: 

- Powerful and very efficient drivetrain that delivers an enhanced driving experience (e.g. maximum torque from a standstill).                      

- Reduced noise, vibration and harshness compared to internal combustion vehicles, and pre conditioning (heating and cooling) as a standard feature. 

- Battery certificate* that guarantees the battery’s maximum capacity as a standard service. 

Every all-electric Mercedes-Benz is fitted with a wide range of safety features. These include Automatic Crash Shutdown, which disconnects the battery and the High-Voltage System in the event of a crash. Also, the battery is secured by a Penetration Protection and Scraper Shield made of special plates and deformation structures to help ensure it remains intact in the event of a collision. Plus, the vehicle’s Protection Zone Concept places all the high-voltage components in the least accident-prone positions within the vehicle.

Subject to mileage limits for vehicles used in commercial applications**, the Owner Protection Plan for EQ provides 5 years unlimited kilometre coverage, including coverage for the 12-volt battery for 3 years unlimited kilometre coverage. The EQ Owner Protection Plan also covers the High Voltage (HV) Battery for 8 years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, with some models covered longer*. All precautions, which are usual and reasonable, have been taken to ensure the quality of the materials and workmanship in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, if any manufacturing defect arises and is presented to one of the Company’s Authorised Mercedes-Benz EQ Retailers or Authorised Mercedes-Benz EQ Service and Parts Centres within the protection period outlined in the terms and conditions, and upon examination of the vehicle, if the defect is confirmed and caused by defective material or workmanship, Mercedes-Benz Australia will repair the vehicle and/or replace (at its election) the defective part at no cost to you**.​​

*The High Voltage (HV) battery for the EQE and EQS is covered for 10 years or 250,000km, whichever occurs first.
