Mercedes EQT

The Mercedes EQT is Mercedes‑Benz’s compact electric people carrier that grafts the brand’s usual refinement onto a practical, family‑friendly van body. It makes school runs feel a little more upscale — quietly electric, sensibly packaged and unexpectedly pleasant to live with, especially if you like your practicality with a touch of luxury.

The Smart attracts with its power and charging. I ended up choosing the ID7, though. The decision was influenced by it being European and by my three years' experience with the ID4. The ID4 has been an excellent vehicle.

Range is completely wrong compared to what’s shown. In reality you can only rely on about 60% of the distance. The boot only opens for whoever has the key? That’s a massive headache for my work.

It is a super comfortable car with a charging from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes. This car is also a very economic car as it is fully electric.
