2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC S-Class https://youtu.be/Gu5p77gfwWc

It’s striking, but not surprising, how closely the EQS mirrors the S-Class driving experience. It’s heftier but roughly equivalent in power, and sports an air suspension carried over from the gas-powered S.

The powertrain mimics an S-Class in thrust, though it’s entirely from another engineering planet. A skateboard jammed with CATL batteries generates 107.8 kwh of energy, and sends it to a rear 245-kw motor in the EQS 450+ or splits it between that and a smaller 140-kw front motor in the EQS 580. The former’s rated at 329 hp and 419 lb-ft of torque. It weighs 5,597 lb minus passengers (a grand more than an S450, give or take), and takes 5.9 seconds to reach 60 mph. That’s nowhere near as quick as a Model S Long Range, much less a Plaid, but is in the neighborhood of a base S-Class (at about 5.0 seconds), down to the 130-mph top speed.

The 5,888-pound EQS 580 hits its stride more quickly. Rated at 516 hp and 631 lb-ft of torque, it takes 4.1 seconds to reach 60 mph—quicker by a few tenths than an S580—and hits an identical 130-mph top speed.
Speed doesn’t compare with the Model S, and while Supercharging’s a killer app for Tesla drivers, Mercedes makes do with a pervasive virtual network of Electrify America and ChargePoint stations. Driving range hasn’t been EPA-rated, but the 485 miles on the Euro WLTP cycle should convert to 400 miles or more, compared to the Model S’ 412 miles and Lucid’s Air-y 500-mile promises. The EQS’s 9.6-kw onboard charger takes almost a dozen hours to repack the pack on Level 2 stations, or 31 minutes to reach an 80% charge on 110-kw fast-charging (it can accept up to 200-kw charging, where offered).
