Mercedes EV Route Planning Is Insanely Good! Why We Should Have Listened To It Across The Country

In this episode of the Out of Spec Podcast, I sit down with my fellow EQS team members (Jordan and Sebastian) to reflect on our I-90 Surge experience, driving Mercedes-Benz’s flagship electric vehicle across the country. Over 46 hours and 51 minutes, we pushed the EQS to its limits, relying on its advanced navigation and charging prediction systems while tackling the highs and lows of EV road tripping. We discuss our strategy, the EQS's consistent charging curve, comparisons to other vehicles in the race, and how it handled the diverse challenges of a cross-country journey. From efficiency debates to navigation quirks, and even some lane violation drama, we dive into what makes the EQS a compelling (and sometimes frustrating) choice for long-distance travel.
