It depends on your driving style and the weather (temperature ) it’s predicted range based on how you’ve been driving — I get 172 miles on mine currently as I’ve been driving in a less than range-conscious way…

 

[Bedfordblue]

As rdrdrd states, in my limited experience so far hugely dependant on driving style, weather and heating / AC requirements.
I’ve had mine for about 2 weeks and best range I’ve had on a motorway trip (Ave 70mph / not exceeding 75) was reporting around 184m @ 100% SoC. The trip was 160m and at the end I had 37m range left iirc.
I’m hoping for better range as the UK weather gets better!
There’s another thread on here somewhere about real time range calcs, if you have your m/kWh on display you will get a good steer on the range you can expect, I’m seeing 2.5m/kWh so which would range out at 80(kWh battery) x 2.5 (m/kWh) or 200 miles. (Apologies if that’s old news / already known!)
Other posters in warmer climes are reporting higher m/kWh that are closer to (or occasionally exceed) MB range figures

As said above the range shown depends on previous consumption. Your consumption is of course variable depending on route, temperature driving style, etc etc. I personally only look at the amount of battery ie SOC and knowing the journey if a regular route I can guage the likely % SOC when I finish pretty accurately now after 4k km. Certainly colder weather hurts efficiency but in the milder months I was reguarly beating the WLTP figs on certain routes. I would say I live in Normandie and trafic is light with a speed limit of 90k max so driving is smooth.
I always use d auto as well.
I reccomend the mercedes eco coach app for helping acquire good driving habits and also good advice re charging the battery. You can earn points too for use on your mercedes me account or to offset carbon via mercedes sponsored carbon projects.

Hi
Could you give details of the app you mentioned above, only can't find it here in the UK
Thanks in advance

Mercedes me Eco Coach: a personal trainer for eco-friendly driving

media.daimler.com

I was able to download it from the Apple Store I think I may have followed the link from Mercedes’ me home page if you scroll down you get various info boxes and the last one is Mercedes’ apps suitable for your vehicle and it is there.
It has been recently updated and now also tells you the no of kWh you have used over 5 days or 5 weeks or 5 mths so I have used 985kwh since I got the car in sept. Why sets of 5 am not sure 🤔
I would assume you could get it unless there are data protection issues following on from Brexit. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Let us know if you can download it.

 

[Bedfordblue]

Doesn’t seem to be available in the UK App Store, however there is something on the MBUX that monitors throttle, coasting and even driving styles letting you know how many additional miles you gain. Not sure it’s quite the same at the app you describe though.

 

[Thedeanetjes]

Thanks for the link, but concur with Bedford blue, that you can't download it. Shame, as sounded like fun!

 

[Parkwood]

I am so surprised that UK users cannot access the app as it really is interesting it makes no sense why unless it is a GDPR issue though if mercedes me is working I cannot see this is much different but I am not a data protection specialist🤷‍♀️ Having the total amount of kwh consumed is proving very useful for me at the moment as I am considering going to a tri phase set up as when the car is plugged in my house system can get up to a 13kva draw when my supply is only 12kva (herein france you pay for a supply up to a max level and if your system uses more the main disjoncteur will trip.) Looking at the car data with the supply data from the grid is helping me plan a bit more and decide whether to invest now or wait before moving to tri phase (needed for the next level up of 15kva max supply) which could deliver up to 22kw charge. Given my car will only accept 11kw ac it is probably not worth it for that reason but maybe future cars will accept a higher charge.
Back to the app maybe owners need to raise this with mercedes UK and see if they can get it switched on?

 

[Bedfordblue]

So….. the app is now available, or at least there’s an Eco Coach companion app for Mercedes Me now in the UK App Store.
Just downloaded it so will see how I get on

That’s the one I find it extremely useful. Have banked one 5 euro have 72k points so will bank another 5 euro soon😉

 

[Thedeanetjes]

🤙
at the moment in our motorhome, but will give it a trial when we get home. Good to see its arrived

If you are in the Mercedes me app, got to Home and scroll down. In Mercedes Me Apps you will see “store” and “Eco Coach”. You click on it and it will take you to the app store if you haven’t got it loaded already.

Interestingly when I installed it a while back the only two rewards showing were C02 offsetting however fairly recently the same MM Charge rewards have appeared, in this instance £5 for 29k point, which I’ve just achieved.
Unfortunately I think / assume it only works with Ionity in the UK which I don’t currently have in my local area. Hopefully will be able to redeem it over the summer as we do a bit of travelling.

 

[Parkwood]

I assumed it is redeemable against your bill on Mercedes Me but you might be right it is only against Ionity. I have a redeemed voucher but as yet have not paid for any public charging about to make my forst long trip next weekend which will involve using Ionity. will report back. Once redeemed the vouchers have quite a long life span of a year.

hi there
I have had my Eqc 18 months
To be honest been impressed with build quality and range.
At the moment
In the uk I am showing regular 317 miles on a full charge available Dropping to about 250 in the winter.
I Mainly use for a daily 30 mile overall commute into London . I have my name down for the new eqg when it comes out in a couple of years and hopefully range will be even better!

Impressive and a full 63 miles beyond Mercedes’ own max range figures.
Surprised they haven’t offered to buy it back to study the battery.

Currently I achieve below the WLTP regularly and have seen trips well below 18kw/100km whilst using air con as standard (I never switch it off).I run in d auto all the time. Checking the eco coach app over the last 5mths my consumption is 20.9kwh/100km which incls quite a few 4km journeys uphill though coming back puts a reasonable amount back!
I think I am lucky in doing mainly out of town light traffic trips with a 90km speed limit so the car has the chance to run in the most efficient mode a lot but that is no different to fossil fuelled cars and again I did get good efficiency from my diesels but they were more affected by the short trips I make.

Hi



Anyone help please with eqc question. When charged 100% what should the range be approximately.Im only getting 200 on mine.Dealership aren’t much help yet Mercedes in the Netherlands say between 240 and 250.



Thanks



Ian



I've had 1 since May, the range was 240 on eco and 220 on norma[ mode , but reality is you will not get that , if you reset you speedometer th 0 , and drive normal the 220 will really be 180-185 max , and if you experience the issues I've has in the last 3 months , you will wish you bought a mini electric for half the price , mine is currently running at 150 full charge with heaters on , and at first mercedes was trying to tell me that was normal in winter , but I disagreed , they sold me a car with a range of 240 , ok I know its probably gonna be 220 at the best , but 150 with heaters on ??? But when I actually tested the 150 theory I actually only got 116 mile

 

[Bedfordblue]

OP was a while ago now but as it just been bumped, here’s my 5 month comparative average taken from the EcoCoach app.
