I charged our MB EQS SUV 4x last fall in Montrose, CO (magic dock). It, too was seamless. I got up to a 148kW rate of charge at around 30% SoC.

@@mailaandjames I cannot wait for NACS either. The Montrose, CO magic docks were in the same parking lot as two ChargePoint DCFC's. However, one of those was off-line and the other had a Leaf charging to 100% with no owner in sight. So, the Tesla magic docks really saved me that afternoon.

Hi, thanks so much for sharing all your information and your journey. I just purchased 04-20-2024 a 2024 EQE 350+ SUV the dealer did not charge The car took delivery with it at about 21% battery went to electrify America. It started charging at about 173 kWh, but then quickly dropped in about three minutes only about 40 kWh. I guess I did not pre-condition the battery is there any advice on how to start a precondition on the way to the charging station I actually couldn't find out how to select the charging station I was going to because all the charging stations in the car navigation just show half baked addresses, I knew the address but couldn't figure out how to select the exact charging station I was going to thanks

Congrats on the purchase. To precondition, go to EQ (top left corner), then “charging”, then HVAC bat. Pre-temp control. Mine’s set to automatic. For charging stations, I go EQ, then “route”, then “charging stations”. You can filter by kilowatts. Hope this helps.

@@mailaandjames thank you for your quick reply

Did you precondition the battery? If not, that’s likely why you only got 91kW of charging speed.

Good point. I didn’t pre-condition the battery.

Thanks for the helpful video. I haven’t used a Magic Dock yet.

Hi, Can you charge at any Tesla supercharger if you have an adapter of your own considering getting a EQE SUV. thanks

Not yet. Mercedes is supposed to release adapters this year. There’s limiting software at Tesla superchargers that’ll prevent you from using 3rd party adapters.

@@mailaandjames OK, thanks again for your quick reply. Appreciate it very much down here in South Florida the electrify America chargers are getting really bad reviews. I don’t know for sure because I do not have an EQ as of yet.

My EQS came with two years of free charging at Electrify America so I don’t think I would want to pay at a Magic Dock when I can charge for free at EA. That benefit will expire in June and I hope that Mercedes will offer a Tesla adapter soon after that. When they do it should be plug and charge, so no need to use an app.

Yeah, I can’t wait. Press release states early 2024 so it should be soon. I know Ford has access to Superchargers now.

Sure did..learned that the Replica's are just as good.. 99% of us are not Rich and can afford over $400 to put something on your wrist to show off... Thanks for nkuwan

Wow, seems kind of expensive for 20% charge about how many miles was added with 20% charge did you take note? Thanks.
