MERCEDES EV ROUTE PLANNING IS INSANELY GOOD! WHY WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Podcast team debriefs their I-90 Surge experience in the Mercedes-Benz EQS, highlighting its surprisingly effective route planning and charging prediction system. Despite initial skepticism, the hosts found themselves increasingly trusting the car's navigation, which proved to be a robust and user-friendly system for long-distance travel. The EQS's flat charging curve was praised for offering a consistent and comfortable charging experience, even if not the absolute fastest. While acknowledging its less-than-ideal exterior styling and the occasional navigation quirk, the interior comfort, quiet ride, and advanced features were deemed superior to competitors like the i7, making it the preferred choice for road-tripping. The team concluded that the EQS is designed for the average consumer who prioritizes ease of use and comfort over hyper-optimization, a strategy that proved successful on their cross-country journey.
