2024 EQBs - all using upgraded battery?

Hi - I know the EQB250+ is using a 70.5kW battery useable, but have the EQB 300 and 350 also been upgraded to 70.5kW useable (from 66.5kW)?

Seeing a lot of conflicting information online. Mercedes Canada website shows that all models are using 70.5kW useable.

Can anyone confirm?

I am not entirely sure of this but it is only the 250+ that has the 70.5kW usable battery - likely being able to use a larger battery pack due the space available in the absence of the rear motor. Had it also been the 300/350, their EPA range should have gone up by around 5% - 6%, which is not the case.

That's weird because in Canada they are definitley advertising all 3 models as having the 70.5kw pack. It can be seen here: https://www.mercedes-benz.ca/en/vehi...eqb/suv#models

Could be country specific. Though not sure what incentive MB as to purposefully give a smaller battery as range is definitely not it biggest strength. See page 36 here:
https://tools.mercedes-benz.co.uk/cu...eqb-SR1123.pdf

One thing I did notice on the Canada website is that the EQB 350 seems to have a range very similar to the 250+, not the 300. So, likely MB may have made some tweaks for the 2024 model. Best would be to confirm this with your dealer or MB USA/ Canada/ NA.

Eg the MB website in Singapore clearly lists the 'Usable energy content" as 66.5 for 300/350 and 70.5 for 250+.

Maybe someone with a 2024 300/350 can help clarify.

I'm taking delivery of an EQB300 tomorrow. Any idea how I can verify the battery size? OBD scanner?

Drove the 2024 EQB300 yesterday and drained it to 0% (at least that's what the dash was showing ...). Charged it to 80% overnight. My Tesla charger says 54.7kW/h was transferred. Simple math - that's about 68kW/h of useable capacity.
