sorry but what does it do ?

Basically allows for faster charging, I believe.

You can charge it with three phase altering current. Any battery needs direct current. From the grid you get AC that should be rectified. During this process there is a loss of about 10%. This is one of the reasons why when charging from a DC station you have to pay also this loss (For example when you take 10 kWh from an AC source you lose 10% for rectifying and another 10% from the resistance of the battery and all the cables and components and you end up with app 8 kwh stored in the battery. When charging from a DC source you lose only the 10% from the resistance and from 10 kWh from the source you end up with 9 kWh in the battery).

nothing - in UK. Probably not offered by Merc UK..

22 kW is 100 amps at 240 V:

'A UK home typically has a 60 to 100 Amp supply fuse, not that every home in the street can draw that much simultaneously. Even now your installer shouldn't install a 32 Amp charger on a 60 Amp supply if you already have a 40 Amp shower as you'll overload the supply if you run both together. Even a 16 Amp charger with a 40 Amp shower on a 60 Amp supply would be problematic as you can easily overload the supply.'

What is the highest available domestic amperage?

A dozen houses or so in a local area, plugging in at 5-6 pm, would overload the local substation/transformer. UK is in the literal dark ages - ancient electric infrastructure, 3% electricity generating margin in good conditions - wind etc - and a population doubled in reality in most urban areas in the last 30 years.

11 kW would be a stretch here for more than say 10% EV adoption, and all doing similar charging schedules.

PS the sobering reality of 'higher/bigger is better':

'Thus a higher power charger will potentially cost more money, use more space in the vehicle, be subject to a diminishing number of places where you could use it, lead to reduced efficiency (and thus higher bills and/or more CO2), and could be more of an issue from an interference perspective.'

Faster en route charging is more important than the faster home charging.

The 22 kW is for three phase 400 V. With 100 A and 220 V you will burn the el instalation in your house.

Some cool new colors now also for the EQS
(Vintageblau, Cot d Azure blau, Rubelit, etc.)

but you know me…i would still go with Polarweiss (just because of the nostalgia to the W140/W124), an non-AMG package, colored skirts and 22” wheels

 

[Special]

Perfect

Milan Kundera says kitsch is a product of the fear of failure. The i7 might be mighty ugly from certain angles, but I can live with its bold failures. The EQS is monolithic, prosaic kitsch.

EQSlob.

The shape and design as as attractive as a penis that's in the no mans land between flacid and erect.

Brabus needs to produce a kit for this car ASAP.

This angle is just gorgeous.
The sleekness, the sharp chrome, the coupe silhouette, the color, the big wheels, love it!

 

[martinbo]

The stuff I read in this EQS thread is something else...

 

[Special]

I dont know how much you guys can remember the F125 concept from 2011, but that car had almost the same silhouette (specially the roofline) as the EQS, only with 2 doors less. Short engine hood, short overhangs in the front, coupe roofline, coupe-like quite short boot.

Seeing a few of these in London being used in place of the default S class.

It blends in as something entirely unremarkable, however given the economic shit show that's taking place, perhaps that won't be such a bad thing in the coming years.

As a business, fleet or chauffeur car, the EQS is a lot cheaper than an S-Class. However, airport transfer businesses will likely continue to use ICE for sometime as the ability to refuel anywhere, reliably in 1-2minutes is business critical.

 

[Special]

Interesent comparison, although the angles werent the same, because the eqs looks more higher than it actually is (only 9 mm)
