Without driving a car, it’s impossible to tell whether it’s going to be good or bad. However, there are certain cars enthusiasts can always be confident in. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class<\/a> is one such car, as it’s consistently at the top of the luxury car segment. So when the three-pointed star decided to make an all-electric S-Class, we were all naturally intrigued. While we haven’t driven this new all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQS<\/a> just yet, the specs, interior design, technology, and preliminary drive reviews are incredibly impressive.<\/p>\n For starters, let’s take range, as it’s the most important figure for all EVs at the moment. The Mercedes-Benz EQS will pack 107.8 kWh battery pack, which gives it a WLTP-rated range of 480 miles. While the U.S. EPA is tougher than the WLTP, it should still have an EPA-rated range of around 400 miles. That puts it right in line with the best from Tesla and even Lucid. Additionally, it gets two electric motors with a combined 516 horsepower. Immediately, that range and power gives the EQS better EV specs than anything from the Germans.<\/p>\n More than that, though, it also gets a class-leading 200 kW max charging speed. Admittedly, very few charge stations can accommodate that sort of charging speed, so few customers will benefit from it right away. Still, when the opportunity presents itself, the EQS can gain about 190 miles of charge in just 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
