The new Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV - navigation with Electric Intelligence

While a classic range calculator lives on the past, navigation with Electric Intelligence looks to the future. The energy requirement is calculated for the calculation of the route. Topography, route, ambient temperature, speed, heating and cooling requirements are all taken into account. Other factors include the traffic situation on the planned route as well as the charging stations available there, their charging capacity and payment functions. The calculation takes place in the cloud and is combined with onboard data. Customers do not necessarily have to fully charge at every charging stop, but receive a specific recommendation of the optimal charging time at the charging station. The charging stations are scheduled in the way that is most favorable in terms of the overall travel time: because under certain circumstances, two short charging stops with higher charging power can be more advantageous than charging once for a long time. In addition, the vehicle's charging settings are automatically adjusted by the navigation with Electric Intelligence and optimized for fast charging along the route. MBUX displays whether the available battery capacity is sufficient to return to the starting point without charging. Manually added charging stations along the route are given preference in the route calculation. Suggested charging stations can be excluded. The system calculates the expected charging costs per charging stop.
