@johnnypovdrives

I asked the chief engineer, they couldn’t use that spot to add the charge port because it would be difficult to reach when fast charging and you’d have trouble opening your door. And they kept it because otherwise it would be too much of a hassle in V Class assembly. But imo the least they could have done, is just glue that door shut. 😄

So I have a 2022 eqv and basically its rhe same then. All the important stuff like range, power etc hasnt veen upgraded at all since they released it. 90% of what you showed was already on the existing model?

@johnnypovdrives

6 күн бұрын

Exactly! I was hoping for some real improvements in range and power, but it’s just a facelift from the 2022 model. Also apparently Mercedes cancelled the development of the next-gen large EV platform the new EQV will be based on… so I’m not even sure if we will ever see a real version 2.0 of the EQV concept. Thanks for watching!

@oliverbassil7943

It's a shame, the eqv was their first ever EV and since then they have made some great improvements on the other models. But it doesn't seem like they are bringing that expertise back to the minibus! I think a Volvo ex90 or Kia ev9 could be replacing it once the current 4 year lease is over

@@oliverbassil7943 True. Really nice alternatives though and I need to do a POV drive with both of them 👌😄

Why do all bloggers never indicate the price when reviewing cars??? Agree that price is the main factor. Just to give an example, a Volkswagen ID4 for 25k euros would be one of the best deals on the market, but for 50k it is absolutely uncompetitively capable garbage with rear drum brakes and an innovative poker supporting the hood.

@johnnypovdrives

2 ай бұрын

Because the price is different in every country. Normally I put the price info for different markets in my video description, not for the EQV because the new price wasn’t available yet at the time. Hope that helps! ✌️

Why are the charging points for so many electric cars in the front wing or grille? This forces you to drive forwards into a charging space. Reversing the EQV into a space might not be as easy as parking a compact car, but reversing out in something that long will be even *more* awkward, and creates a risk of reversing into a moving vehicle in a busy car park. Have car manufacturers decided that drivers no longer have the skill to reverse their vehicles?

@johnnypovdrives

Ай бұрын

In case of the EQV it was a logical choice apparently because of the location of the parts. And they couldn't fit it where the gas filler opening is because the charge port that goes in there is too big + you could possibly be blocked from getting in the car once you plug in the fast charge cable. :)

It’s so luxurious but the only thing missing is a wireless phone charger! 🔌 📱
