MERCEDES EQS 580 SUV ROAD TRIP CHARGING PROBLEMS: TX TO TULSA ROUND TRIP

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarked on a road trip in the Mercedes EQS 580 SUV, highlighting its luxurious comfort and impressive performance, especially its four-wheel steering and smooth ride. Despite initial concerns about charging infrastructure, the reviewer found the EQS to be a capable road-tripping vehicle. Charging experiences were mixed, with one Electrify America station proving problematic due to malfunctioning chargers and another Tesla Supercharger derating. However, the reviewer praised the speed and reliability of Tesla Superchargers once activated, noting the usefulness of the EV Base adapter. Real-world efficiency was impacted by cold weather and new tires, resulting in lower-than-expected mileage, but the reviewer remained highly satisfied with the vehicle's overall capabilities and comfort, deeming it a superior alternative to the Cadillac Lyriq.
