Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+

Why #78

• Small 7-seat option, but slow charging and poor efficiency.
• Strongest on efficiency (82) and practicality (71); weakest on charging (17).
• Sits below #77 Volvo EC40 Twin Motor mainly on charging (43 vs 17).
• Beats #79 Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan 350+ on practicality (71 vs 32).
• Sales floor applied: US sales not reported (under 2,000 in Jan–Sep 2026) costs 5 overall points.

Heads-up: Being phased out in the US.

Arizona ownership (energy only)

Arizona 5-year energy cost assumes 12,000 mi/yr, mostly home charging on APS R-EV overnight (11pm–5am weekdays) at $0.0847/kWh (APS R-EV tariff), ~10% charging losses, and compares energy only to a 28 MPG gas car at $3.50/gal. Insurance, maintenance, purchase price and resale are excluded. Arizona summer range = EPA range × 82.5% (Recurrent Auto ~17–18% loss at 100°F; AAA found 8.5% at 95°F).
