The new Mercedes-Benz EQS has been confirmed to offer up to 350 miles of range on a charge, according to the EPA.
The flagship Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 with its 107.8 kWh battery pack can travel 340 miles (547 km) on a charge while the entry-level EQS 450+, which is fitted with a single electric motor, is rated at 350 miles (563 km) on a charge.
These figures compare well against the competition. The sportier Porsche Taycan 4S Performance Battery Plus is rated at a max of 227 miles (365 km) per charge while the Audi e-tron GT is rated at 238 miles (383 km) per charge. Admittedly, those models aren’t as focused on luxury as the EQS. As for the homegrown Tesla Model S Long Range and Lucid Air Dream Edition, they are rated at 405 miles (651 km) and 520 miles (836 km) of range respectively.
