The Most Impressive Mercedes-Benz EV Technologies
June 14 2023,
When we talk about electric vehicles (EVs), few brands have been as proactive and innovative as Mercedes-Benz. Leading the way in luxury EV production, the German automaker offers a diverse range of electric vehicles that rivals or often surpasses any other manufacturer's lineup. The roster includes versatile SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz EQB, EQE, and EQS, along with dynamic sedans like the EQE and EQS. Mercedes-AMG models, including the Mercedes-AMG EQE and the flagship Mercedes-AMG EQS, deliver exceptional performance that electric vehicle enthusiasts will find hard to resist.
These vehicles do not only provide the luxury, connectivity, and safety features characteristic of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, but they also introduce a host of technologies and features designed to simplify the EV experience for owners.
Navigation with Electric Intelligence
The MB Navigation system integrated into these vehicles uses Electric Intelligence to maximize range and minimize range anxiety – one of the most common concerns among EV owners. Unlike traditional range calculators, Navigation with Electric Intelligence predicts energy demand for future journeys and takes into account a variety of factors such as topography, temperature, speed, heating/cooling, and traffic conditions. It also considers available charging stations along the route.
By performing calculations in the cloud and combining onboard data, customers receive recommendations for charging stops that optimize travel time. In some cases, the system may suggest multiple short charging stops instead of one long stop to optimize the journey. Additionally, the vehicle's charging settings are optimized for fast charging along the route.
Mercedes me Charge
Mercedes-Benz goes further to make charging easy for its electric vehicle owners. Through Mercedes me Charge, the process of locating, using, and paying for charging at the majority of Canada's networked public charging points is simplified. A purchase of a new Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle comes with one year of Mercedes me Charge convenience.
Home-charging is also made convenient, smart, and future-ready with Mercedes-EQ. The automaker assists its customers in purchasing and arranging installation of a premium, Canada-designed and built wallbox through dedicated websites with FLO and Qmerit. This wallbox integrates seamlessly with your Mercedes-Benz EV and the Mercedes me connect app.
Mercedes me App
For managing your Mercedes-Benz EV on the go, the Mercedes Me App offers a range of practical features. The app can simulate a virtual battery charge of your vehicle and activate charging remotely. It offers various charging options for virtual real-time recharge. Additionally, it calculates the energy requirement and consumption for electric vehicle routes using historical traffic data and speed profiles.
The app also provides recommended charging options along the planned routes and displays information on charging station locations, plug types, and speeds in over 30 countries. Need to find the nearest Mercedes-Benz dealer? The app has you covered.
