What is the service B on a Mercedes EQC?
Mercedes-Benz Service B builds upon the work completed during Service A with additional checks and replacements to keep your vehicle at peak performance. This service is typically required one year after your Service A appointment, around 20,000 miles or two years since your purchase – whichever comes first. Mercedes-Benz Service B is recommended every 20,000 miles or 12 months after you’ve had Mercedes-Benz Service A, whichever comes first. The specific amount of time that you can go between service intervals will vary depending on the Mercedes-Benz vehicle you drive.For the average driver, it’s recommended that you book your car in for a service at least once every 12 months – or every 12,000 miles (whichever comes first). For drivers who cover a lot of miles (15,000+ per year), it’s worth having a car service every 6 months.
Is the EQC expensive to maintain?
Maintenance and Repairs Electric vehicles generally have lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts. However, the EQC does require specific considerations: Battery Replacement: While the battery is designed for longevity, eventual replacement is a significant cost to factor in. Mercedes has had a difficult time getting shoppers interested in its EQ brand of vehicles. The vehicles’ exterior design, lack of range, and lofty price tags have made them a tough sell. This has led to large discounts and poor sales.Therefore, Mercedes-Benz’s luxury positioning and its costly long-term maintenance fees are parts of its weaknesses in attracting a larger group of consumers in the EV market. Mercedes-Benz underwent several large-scale recalls in its history due to emission scandals and fire risks in its EV model EQS and EQC.Expensive when new, the EQC is much more affordable as a used buy, due to the ravages of depreciation. Most car buyers are either pro-EV or anti-EV, with very few in between. If you’re in the former camp, we think that the Mercedes EQC is worth considering, as long as you’re aware of its limited practicality.

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%. 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.
