To be honest the range was much better than I expected. That’s around 485km on a full charge. That’s pretty much the same as a V8 twin turbo car. However I’m sure that range will drop rapidly if you drive like 160-200kmh on the autobahn for a longer time. And that’s exactly what these big limousines are built for.

What happened after you stopped the Murk, is that the battery at the chemical-physical level "recovered" a bit. That's not a hidden reserve. Regarding the battery's expected lifetime, completely running it down to 0% charge in reality (rather than specifications) likely counts as much more than one discharge-recharge cycle.

Yes, that's funny. Over 50 years ago, a stand-up comedian in my country emigrated to Germany because "we" did not think he was funny. "There" he was experienced as very funny and when he died he almost got a state funeral. So, now let's go to Germany, where these two are driving these cars. In the ICE alternative for these cars, on the German motorway ("Autobahn"), their drivers would be on the left-most lane only, drive 250 km/h as long as possible, blink their high beam lights when a slower car is in their way, slow down when there is a speed limit (e.g imposed to suppress noise towards a domestic area near that road), and as soon as the limit is lifted accelerate again. They might have removed the 250 km/h limit one way or another and chances are they want to race another car in their league. As these cars are expensive relative to modal, the drivers think they "own" the road and everybody has to move to the slower lane for them. It's the German form of "polite" that feels very aggressive when you did not grow up in that. E.g. in the wider "Ruhr" (river) area, there is a lot of wealth and you'll frequently be blinked by drivers of supercars trying to do 300 km/h or so. One of the airports in the Ruhr region, decades ago, had to modify the setup of their Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar system for low flying aircraft (like helicopters) because every time these supercars drove by, they popped up as a helicopter or so, in the ATC system and ATC agents tried to contact that thing. To no effect. Because the German motorways are rather crowded, have maintenance works that reduce the numbers of cars that can pas a section per minute, there are traffic jams frequently. Travel from, say, Hamburg (DE) to the Basel (CH) border - about 800 km - and you would be slowed down by some 20 road maintenance stretches, some of which come in clusters. Whatever speed your car can do, you will end up nearer Google Maps's assumption of 8 hours for the trip that probably applies the "German advised maximum speed of 130 km/h" than a lot faster. (Google should give me an option to set the maximum speed I want to drive, where allowed.) Experience with the AMG badge leads me to assuming the driver goes about as fast (aggressive in another culture) as possible, accelerates and slows down maybe every minute, and when possible tries to race another "fast" car. In the beginning of the video, the Wh/km of the AMG is some 3.6 times as bad as a Tesla on a hard day - both in an English polite driving style. There are lots of exceptions to this prejudice, though, where people peacefully drive these cars in a modal mode. It's a bit like trying to get as fast as possible as far as possible with a Bugatti Veyron. That at 400 km/h burns through its tank of fossil fuel in 12 minutes (= 80km/100 litres = 80km/1000 kWh = 12.5 kWh/km as 1 litre equals 10 kWh). Imagine you started with new tyres. So you fill the tank again and start your next stretch at 400 km/h. You cannot complete the 12 minutes because your tyres are wasted after 20 minutes at that speed.

@@jeremybarfour-awuah4179 interesting, how do you know what I can and can’t afford?

You set up Daniel quite well. Smash around Merc at the start and jumped in Bmw. Cheeky Bugger 😅

I really want to see someone do a review of an electric car in town on the school run, then to work then back to get the kids. Then to football training, ballet, swimming and all the rest ha ha. That’s a true test…

That i7 looks really nice wow

Yep. But still 6.5/10 for me.

They should have a timer. Once it's almost dead just cut power 50% ,limit speed to 35mph( so people don't kill themselves) and start a 3 minute countdown, that's gonna at least prepare drivers for the complete shutdown . They can pull over in the last 5 seconds, or hurry up to a charger.

Ive driven my car without a working alternator (battery only)...got pulled over for driving without headlights....I shut them off to conserve...LOL

It seems BMW built the i7 for the studio execs in LA. I see them all over the place in Studio City. From Sherman Oaks to Glendale you cant miss them all. That ultra-wide screen is fantastic

screens are hideous. Just an excuse for these manufacturers to cut costs. Its just plastic, a nice metal button or knob would be nice with an integrated screen.

Would be nice if the lucid air was also in this range test

I saw one today I'm sure it gets more but not sure what percentage of their claimed ranged.

I'm not in the market for an electric car, but if I was, I'd definitely be grateful for these videos when I had to pick one.

What! for the price of a small semi Oop North?

How I missed that video?!

Matt was the AA van a diesel? Or did it have an ICE generator onboard?

EQS has such a unique look in person. I7 isn’t nearly as bad in person either

Both do have unique looks. It's all based on personal taste I suppose. I've seen the EQS at a Target and a Saltgrass and I saw the i7 on the freeway and at At Home. The i7 gets my vote because it's a bold look and you can point it out as a BMW from anywhere. I also own an M550i and really enjoy BMW performance, design language, and the features.

i7 despite it's polarizing design has incredible road presence. EQS on the other hand looks weak and silly.

Iam a merc fan and I own a gla but I have driven both the i7 and eqs amg I wud rate i7 the best car electric luxury sedan back seat with theater seats are out standing front design looks awesome…

I think in the current situation that electric cars are more practical for city driving and day trips, for longer distances it still makes more sense to have an ice

Have you done petrol range test to compare the difference between an ev and petrol same make and model

This is why I love my Lucid Air, with its long comfortable range. No need to charge to 100% or run it down to zero before charging. On a recent 1,600 mile trip i averaged 3.4m/kw. for a reasonable 380 miles at 80mph driving.

That i7 with the optional rear screen and seating upgrade is simply stunning. Absolutely love it. Im actually more impressed with it after watching this video. That Merc seems like they have ploughed £100k into making the front screen and skimpt on everything else can't believe the poor build quality in a £180k motor is simply pathetic, and yet still putting in faux leather interiors in there is simply criminal at this price level.... Can't imagine who would buy one?!

Mercedes have done that for years. It’s why the S Class in my mind was over rated, cheap artico leather and plastic all over. The G11 onwards was a superior vehicle

I love your Chanel and I went on a train and you sponsored the train I was so excited

As a taxidriver for me the main thing I like is the adaptive cruise controll. That makes the Drive so much more relaxed en comfortable. I would never turn that one off. Lane assistent on the other hand really sucks.....😂

I imagine the Mercedes would’ve traveled an extra mile or two if Matt didn’t mess about while he was driving it
