IS AN EV CHEAPER OR MORE EXPENSIVE TO FUEL UP - I COMPARE A GAS CAR TO ITS EV VERSION AND GUESS WHAT?

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ against its gasoline-powered S-Class counterpart in a cold-weather range and cost comparison. The EQS, despite its rear-wheel-drive configuration and extreme cold, performed admirably on mountain passes, though its range was significantly impacted. A critical issue arose with frozen windshield washer fluid, forcing an early abort of the full mountain ascent. The S-Class, while offering all-wheel-drive capability and no range anxiety, delivered disappointing fuel economy, especially in city driving. Ultimately, the EQS proved more cost-effective to 'fuel' for the tested distance, even with fast charging costs, costing $21.48 compared to the S-Class's $24. However, the reviewer highlights that home charging would reduce the EQS's cost to just $7.92. The EQS is praised for its refined, silent, and luxurious interior, while the S-Class is noted as being better looking. The reviewer leans towards the EQS for its ultimate wafty luxury experience.
