Mercedes-Benz: All-Electric Vehicles

There are thousands of electric car charging stations all across America, and more are popping up every day. But if you’re unsure what’s near you, head to the ChargePoint website. Here you can see all of the charging stations in your area and plan possible trips to see where you can recharge along the way.

We recommend installing a Level 2 charger in your home which will allow you to charge much faster than a traditional household wall outlet. The ChargePoint Home Flex is the wallbox we’d recommend. Please go to their website to purchase one. In addition, we recommend using Qmerit for installation.

Every electric vehicle is different. For example, the EQS can go from 10% to 80% in just 31 minutes using a DC fast charging unit (maximum 200kW), and chances are, you will never have to go from empty to full to get where you need to go. In most cases, people charge at home and at work, when their car is parked and they’re busy doing other things.

Mercedes-Benz all-electric vehicles undergo rigorous safety testing, just like their gas-powered counterparts. They are tested in extreme heat and cold, are extensively crash-tested, and are built with inherent safety measures to minimize risk in the event of a collision.

The common myth is that electric vehicles can only go a short distance. What’s important to remember is that you can typically do all your daily driving (and more) on just one charge. But if you do want to road trip, Mercedes-Benz has partnered with Electrify America for two years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions. Electrify America has a nationwide network of more than 2,600 DC Fast Chargers and are expanding more as time goes on. To get a better idea, try planning a trip using the trip planner on the Electrify America website.

Yes. In fact, they perform even better in areas like torque and acceleration. Because the drive system is electric as opposed to mechanical, the reaction is instant, without the lag of a typical gas engine. At the same time, electric vehicles are quieter and smoother for a more pleasant driving experience.

Is there a federal tax credit for buying electric? 

There is. For more details, see your certified tax professional or read about the new credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act, passed in 2022. 

What about local incentives? 

Many states offer their own incentives, including rebates and other non-monetary incentives like unlimited access to the HOV lane, which saves you time in traffic. To see your state's incentives, visit www.afdc.energy.gov/laws/state. 

Do I have to pay for electricity like I pay for gas? 

Yes, but it's much cheaper. Electricity in the United States purchased for your home through your utility is typically around 12 cents per kWh. If you drive 15,000 miles a year, that's about $540. A year of gas, on the other hand, can cost around $1,400. On top of that, the price of gasoline can fluctuate wildly, whereas the price of electricity is relatively stable. To see the average price of electricity in your state, visit the website for the Energy Information Administration. All new Mercedes-Benz EV customers also get 2 years of free, unlimited 30-minute charging sessions through Electrify America. This enables cross-country travel essentially for free.
