Are you looking for an innovative electric vehicle with true luxury-class comfort? The EV of your dreams is waiting here at Mercedes-Benz of Fredericksburg, so come get in the driver’s seat of your own efficient, engaging, electrified vehicle! Whether you prioritize long-range, cushioned accommodations, or lively performance, our Mercedes-Benz EVs have a lot to offer, so take a look at what an EV can do for you.
There are multiple reasons why drivers make the leap from gas-powered vehicles to EVs and it often starts with getting away from gasoline in the first place. When you skip the fuel pump in favor of electric energy, you can enjoy lower operating costs, but that’s not the only benefit of ditching petrol power. You’re also making an environmentally friendly choice, as EVs offer zero emissions as you drive. If performance is a priority for you, then you’ll be delighted with Mercedes-Benz EVs’ lightning-quick acceleration, nimble handling, and surprisingly hushed ride.
Electric vehicles run on battery power, and you can glean many miles from a full charge. When it’s time to recharge those batteries, you can plug in at home or pull up to a public charging station. These charging stations have proliferated extensively in recent years, and it’s easy to find them across the country. You can use the Mercedes Me Connect app or MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) to locate charging stations near you as well. Your Mercedes-Benz EV even monitors its battery’s charge status and will suggest when it needs to be recharged. When it’s time to plug in, you can use a Level 1, 2, or 3 charger, with Level 3 offering the quickest recharge time.
Mercedes-Benz has set the goal to have 10 electric vehicles in its lineup by 2025. It’s well on its way with six versatile EVs already available, and whether you’re interested in a convenient electric sedan or spacious electric SUV, there’s sure to be a Mercedes-Benz EV that suits your lifestyle.
The Mercedes-Benz EQS leads the way as the maker’s pioneering electric car, complete with an extensive all-electric driving range and the plush interior furnishings that drivers have come to expect from Mercedes-Benz. The EQE takes notes from the elegant Mercedes-Benz E-Class, providing a more compact design along with an impressively potent electric powertrain. If it’s an electric SUV you need, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV expands on its sedan counterpart’s interior space for more room for your passengers and cargo.
Can you use an EV for road trips?
Yes. If you have a long trip ahead of you, an EV allows for an efficient ride down the highway. Mercedes-Benz EVs feature long driving ranges to allow you to cover many miles between recharges, and you can even find Level 3 chargers along some highways to enable convenient recharging on the go.
Can you charge an EV at home?
Yes. While can use a typical household outlet, keep in mind that such plugs only yield 110V, and it’s easy to equip your home with a much faster 240V charging station.
What do the different EV charging levels mean?
Your basic household outlet serves as Level 1 charging. It’s recommended to utilize a more practical option, like a Level 2 charger, which provides 240V. Many public charging stations use Level 2 chargers. Level 3 DC Fast Charging is the quickest option available today, and it’s starting to appear at some charging stations to enable quick recharges on the go.
What is regenerative braking?
Whenever you press the brakes or coast in your EV, the electric motor sends electric power back to the battery, converting your vehicle’s momentum to power. This allows you to extend your range as you drive.
Whenever you’re ready to embrace electric efficiency and innovation, come find your EV at our Mercedes-Benz dealership in Fredericksburg. When you visit us at Mercedes-Benz of Fredericksburg, our team will work with your wish list to find the EV that you’ve been waiting for.
