A HUGE factor is your local climate. If you are in costal California, the EPA range is accurate and the 2024 range is appropriately conservative and easy to exceed. However, I live in the north central USA and when the temperature gets below freezing the range starts dropping. When it gets below about 15F it starts to drop off a cliff, and when it’s below 0F it’s in a neighborhood of a 40% loss in range compared to 65F. The heat pump works well until it doesn’t.

Also note that the EPA published range is for mixed everyday city/suburban driving. If you hit the interstate and set the cruise to 75mph you will not get the EPA range. The EQB is a fine car for living in a metropolitan area, or as a 2nd car that stays close to home. It’s not a great car to drive between metropolitan areas or for road trips.

We use our EQB as 2nd car, and it works fine living in the suburbs where we only charge overnight at home and the car has never left the 60mi radius of our house. We’ve been putting about 14K miles a year on it and typically charge to 80% most of the year, except for December-February when we charge to 90%. During the really, really cold spells we charge to 100% because the loss in range is so significant. Grated, we also do nothing to try to conserve energy by turning the cabin heat down and will pre-heat the car every time we use it, even when it’s not at home and plugged in.

 

tl;dr answer: Yes, the stated range is pretty accurate, but there are a ton of variables.

Long answer: In ideal conditions I've gotten close to 300 miles with my 2023 EQB, but in the dead of winter I recharge every other day regardless of miles driven and I'd estimate it would run out after 150 if I pushed it. So...highly variable. The stated range is 232, and during the long shoulder seasons here when it's always nice out I easily surpass that on every charge (or, more accurately, am on pace to achieve that based on charging to 80% and not going below 20%).

...but then there are all the variables. I don't accelerate rapidly very often, and I don't drive super fast on the highway either. However, I do live in a hilly place with temperatures that change quickly. I use pre-entry climate control to warm the car up in the morning, which as I've learned has a HUGE impact on range. If I just go outside when it's 15F and fire it up it'll drop 20-30 miles the second I get out of the driveway, whereas with PECC on it'll drop maybe 2 miles...and if it's plugged in while warming up it'll pull straight from the grid and drop 0 miles, maybe even gain a couple. That's with the departure time programmed, so the car decides how much time it needs to be ready. It ranges from a few minutes to ~45 minutes when it's really cold.

It's been a great car so far. I have a few little complaints but if I could go back in time 18 months I would do it again.

 

I have been very satisfied with my EQB300's range and am able to get 250+ miles total range. Though usable would be 200 miles as I have never charged over 90% or let it fall below 15%.

Have 18" wheels and 7 seats and is a late 2022 mfd car. I have to say I am mindful of aggressive accelerations and just try to keep up with the traffic. No use of the heater, only the aircon. Charging pattern is typically 30%-70% on my 11 KW home charger.

 

I don't have experience with the EQB yet - I collect it on the 25th - but my B250e (2016) shows the temp is a real killer: even on short journeys on cold winter days, the battery uses 10+ miles range to handle a 6 mile journey, as well as losing range overnight. (This is typical for lithium batteries - you may notice the same effect on your phone.) Using preheat does improve this, but doesn't remove it.
In winter, my range drops by maybe 40% compared to summer usage.

 

Echoing what everyone else said because it's all pretty consistent with my experience as well. I have a 2023 EQB 300 and am in NY. The colder months are certainly a pain with regards to the range but that's all EVs.

My range in winter at 80% charge max is around 160-180 miles. (Same experience last year and this year)

Admittedly, I have a bit of a led foot so that doesn't help

Otherwise, I'll get 230-250 the rest of the year. It's really only winter that's the killer.

 

Mostly used as a commuter so range doesn't really factor here either in Long Island, NY. I generally find on average the car uses around 31.5kWh per 100 miles as reported by the Mercedes Me app. I then use this figure for longer distance trips and it's worked quite well. I just wished the car would report kWh instead of battery percentage but have been using the published figure of 69kWh as 100% and like others here mostly driven between 20-80% so range isn't a big factor. We don't really use it for long trips although we do take it through the city and into NJ occasionally on a 150-160 mile round trip without charging but then we start at 100%. I have to say the estimate has been reliable and I've driven down to ~15 miles remaining without encountering any issues. On trips where I expect to get low, I check miles remaining against estimated range and ensure we have a buffer of at least 15-20 miles. Three are luckily enough charging stations around if I lose that buffer I can charge up. These days we don't really bother with the range unless we are in long trip and even then like I said I just use it to see if we need to charge along the way or not.

 

A few months later...

The EQB 250+ is a front-wheel drive car with one motor, and the EQB 300 and 350 are 4-wheel drive cars with two. All three models have the same batteries (I think 74kWH) so the 250+ has a longer range (250+ miles vs. about 205).

 

All three models have the same batteries (I think 74kWH) so the 250+ has a longer range (250+ miles vs. about 205).

I believe the EQB 250+ actually gets a bigger battery
EQB 250+ 73.9 (Nominal)/ 70.5 (Usable) - EQB 250+
EQB 350 69.7 (Nominal)/ 66.5 (Usable) - EQB 350

 

EQB 280 miles

 

The official number for the 2025 EQB 250+ in the US is 251 miles, but of course it's just an estimate.

I haven't taken my new one on a road trip to see how far that drops on the highway, but my guess is it'll be about 175.

Meanwhile, the new Tesla Model 3 gets 363.
