What is the true range of the Mercedes EQC?
The battery of the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 4MATIC has an estimated total capacity of 85 kWh. The usable capacity is 80 kWh. A range of about 230 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. Practical Implementation: The 80/20 Rule Most modern EVs make it easy to implement this strategy. Many vehicles now include infotainment system settings or mobile apps that allow you to set a maximum charge level. The recommended approach is to keep your battery between 20% and 80% whenever possible.It’s best to keep your EV’s charge between 20% and 80% most days. Daily top-ups prevent the need for full charges which helps maintain battery health. If you charge the EV battery up to 100% regularly, it can strain it. Conversely if you regularly let it drop too low, it can cause the battery to wear.When it’s time to charge, it’s often smarter to stop at 80% and then get back on the road, instead of waiting for the battery to completely fill up. Doing so maximizes your use of time. For example, if your EV has 300 miles of range when fully juiced up, that means it can go about 240 miles with an 80% state of charge.The following table shows approximate times to charge the Mercedes EQC. We recommend charging to 80% charge in order to protect the battery and maximise efficiency. Note that the times shown are only a guide, as very rarely will an EV need to be fully charged from 0%.
