EV or PHEV? What’s the Difference?
EQ is the electric mobility brand for Mercedes-Benz, made up of electric, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid cars. The EQ brand isn’t just about the luxurious cars, but also the innovative technology and convenient services that come with them to enhance your overall ownership experience.
When we talk in ‘range’ and ‘charge time’, it’s always worth remembering that both these elements will be subject to things like weather, driving conditions and voltage values. Watch the video for useful hints on how you can maximise the driving range of your Mercedes-EQ.
EV
EQ is our growing range of fully-electric cars.
Zero local emissions, an almost silent drive and impressive responsiveness creates an all-new driving experience for Mercedes-Benz.
PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid)
PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid) cars offer drivers the best of both worlds, you can drive all-electric in the city or use the economical combustion engine for longer trips.
With a combination of combustion engine and electric motor, a Plug-in Hybrid offers you flexibility and a dynamic control of how you want to drive and when.
Unlike petrol or diesel-powered engines, fully electric cars use electric motors powered by the electricity in their battery so you can drive CO2-free. The battery can then be re-charged in a number of different, convenient ways. To drive a full electric Mercedes-Benz is to drive with your finger on the pulse. The surge of pleasure you feel when your foot touches the pedal and the instant reaction of a car that thinks like a driver. It’s the same luxury, safety and quality you expect from a Mercedes, with all the advantages of electric.
To use your electric drive, you simply plug your car into a source of electricity to charge, but if you run out of range you can easily switch to the combustion engine and recharge when it’s next convenient for you. Another added benefit of PHEV is the responsiveness – the electric motor boosts the combustion engine when you accelerate for a more refined and responsive drive.
