Most of them, yes, but you might need to download the appropriate app for some of the chargers. Some are just contactless wit a debit/credit card, but others you need to register.

Before the EQC I ran a 2015 W212 with adblue for almost four years with no issues whatsoever. The adblue and dpf were fine and caused no problems at all. I was doing 10-15k a year. I've just remembered, I had one problem with the EQC in the first year, which was sorted under warranty. One of...

When the family is with me and a full charge is necessary, it has been Dominos, so it cost me more than a tank of juice!

I appreciate the irony, but it makes absolute sense to me, having experimented with electric. As I said, I'd prefer petrol, but the E200 is underpowered and I can't afford the E43/63, so I'm hoping I can stretch to an E400, but I think E220 is more likely.

Right, the EQC is coming to the end of it's lease and goes back at the end of next month. So my thoughts on EVs in general and the EQC in particular. The EQC is a beautiful car to drive, it's comfortable, smooth and powerful. It's a clear step above the W212 that it replaced in almost every...

Premium Plus certainly feels like the right way to go, but what does the Plus add on to Premium? I started an EQC thread on here and it has been moved to the appropriate EQ forum, although I haven't updated it since a month after I got the car. I'll put on an update with my thoughts later...

My EQC company car goes back in 6 weeks and I've decided to replace it with a diesel used E class (read into that what you will!). I would have prefered petrol, but I can't run to (or justify) an E63/E43 and the E200 just strikes me as underpowered. So I'm looking at an 18/19 E220d (pr even...

I'd also point out that I've just had the first EV service at MB Leeds and it was £236, so not the massive saving you'd expect. I think the £236 paid for a quick health-check and topping up the washer fluid. I can see how I may come across as entirely negative about the EV experience, but I'm...

As I say, I know I can increase range by driving more gently, lower top speed and reduced acceleration, but I really want to drive my EV as I drove my ICE cars. Whilst the weather has been 30C, I've managed 3.3m/kwh ( even saw 3.9 on a mostly downhill journey, but 2.8 on the way back), in...

Just for balance, I'll throw in my two-pennorth regarding EVs. I have had an EQC for just ofer 12 months after replacing my E220 diesel, it is leased and I've done 11,000 miles in the year. My reasons for going EV were varied; almost no income tax as it's a company car, I can charge at work so...

I've just sold a VW Up! on motorway.co.uk and got £1500 more than WBAC offered, easy and painless with no 'punters' coming to the house kicking the tires and trying it on. I'm not saying it's the most lucrative way to sell, but it was painless and I was happy with what I got. It was a 2012...

I've been giving some thought to my strategy of car-buying too. I'm currently driving a leased EQC, but the public charging network is putting me off electric, worthwhile experiment though it's been. To be fair I've still a year to go on the lease, but I'm thinking of going back to petrol (or...

I joined a few years back when I bought my first E220, but since I know next to nothing about repairing cars, I have very little to contribute, even more so since I'm now driving an EQC, but I loiter regularly and read what you lot are up to.

I have the new touchscreen in the EQC, but fortunately, you can control pretty much everything with the steering wheel controls as well, so it's not too bad.

I've looked at a few EV tarrifs and they all seem to even out the overall cost. Whilst you get several hours overnight at (eg) 5p/kwh, they are 18-20p/kwh the rest of the time. Non EV tariffs tend to be more like 14-15p/kwh all the time. I suppose it depends how much electricity you use...

Apologies, I've been incommunicado for a while since my last post. The car does indeed have active park assist, although I've only tried it once into a bay and it needed two attempts! Is the lte module for the moble internet connectivity? If so, then yes it's there, but the car suggests I...

Well, the Eqc was eventually delivered last week (almost three months late) and the W212 has now gone. First off, the E Class went to WBAC as I couldn't be bothered dealing with tyre-kickers. Long story short, their first offer was £10k and after discussing damage to two alloys and numerous...

I use Prestige in Ossett, both for servicing and ancilliary stuff (they recently replaced the heated seat pad) and I've been very happy with them. I owuldn't hesitate to recommend them. Much more cost effective than MB Leeds.

Afternoon Eman, I've ordered an EQC which is due in 4 weeks, I don't suppose you have any incredibly useful tips so far? The venture into this whole new world is exciting but daunting, how's the range anxiety? I'm currently looking into a home charger, BP Pulse maybe?

Absolute piece of cake. It's the first time I've ever done it as I prefer to buy cars cash so I was a bit nervous about it, but it couldn't have been easier. I just signed up to the finance as you would if you intended to use the finance, agreed monthly figures etc. Then on the day we...
