The EQT by Mercedes-EQ (combined power consumption (WLTP): 18.99 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions (WLTP): 0 g/km) as a small van combines the equipment level of the T-Class with the advantages of all-electric drive.
The electric small van will be orderable in the near future. Prices start at around 49,000 euros for the EQT with 90 kW electric motor and standard length. The EQT is 4498 millimetres long, 1859 millimetres wide and 1819 millimetres high. A long-wheelbase variant will follow this year.
At market launch, an electric motor with a peak output of 90 kW (122 hp) and a maximum torque of 245 Newton metres is available. The lithium-ion battery sits in the underbody in front of the rear axle and has a usable capacity of 45 kWh. At work, at home or at public charging stations, the EQT can be charged with alternating current (AC) at 22 kW, using the onboard charger. The process is even faster at fast-charging stations with direct current (DC), depending on the SoC (State of Charge) and the temperature of the high-voltage battery. The EQT is equipped with an 80 kW DC charger, in which case the charging time is 38 minutes from 10–80 percent SoC. For AC and DC charging, the EQT has a CCS charging socket and a CCS charging cable as standard.
The MBUX includes the adaptive software, the operating concept via the 7-inch touchscreen or the touch control buttons on the steering wheel, the smartphone integration of Apple Car Play and Android Auto, the hands-free system via Bluetooth connection and the digital radio (DAB and DAB+). MBUX is optionally available with an integrated navigation system and intelligent voice assistant “Hey Mercedes”.
With MBUX, customers already have access to digital extras such as Live Traffic Information. With Mercedes me, the EQT becomes even more intelligent. All the users have to do is link the small van to a Mercedes me account in the Mercedes me portal. This allows customers to receive important information on topics such as the availability of charging stations, charging power, costs or plug type. In addition, the Mercedes me app or the media display in the vehicle can be used to display the current remaining range as well as public charging stations in the vicinity or at the destination.
Mercedes me Charge gives Mercedes-EQ customers access to public charging points from various providers across Europe with just one contract. In addition, after storing the desired payment method just once, they benefit from an integrated payment function with simple billing. The Mercedes me App shows the precise location, current availability and prices at the selected charging station. At the charging station, authentication takes place via the display in the MBUX multimedia system, the Mercedes me App or the Mercedes me Charge charging card. Everything else is managed automatically via Mercedes me Charge.
