I'm considering importing a Mercedes EQE from the US to Europe and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this or knows what's technically possible.
Specifically, I'm trying to find out:
Can the vehicle region (MBUX, navigation, voice control, etc.) be changed to Europe?
Is it possible to upgrade or unlock the AC onboard charger for 3-phase charging (11 kW / 22 kW)?
Can the charge port (CCS1) be converted to CCS2, for compatibility with European charging infrastructure?
Any input, experiences, or recommendations for workshops would be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I would not even think about trying this. These cars, as wonderful as they are, are so complicated (and a bit buggy) that they have trouble operating flawlessly in their native regions. Further to that, the dealers are not nearly up to speed with knowledge on how to serve "local" EQ's yet. It is unlikely a dealer would try to hack the various systems to make your imported car local to Europe, even if some of this can be done. You would have to get a 3rd party coder...and there are no guarantees.
I have read more than one post online over the last couple of years where an EQ moved from one region to another suffered a hobbled and, in some cases, totally non-working MBUX navigation system.
This would be a financially high risk move, in my opinion, with a high likelihood of failure.
I think it would be a better move to find a newish, but highly depreciated EQ in Europe. Many are coming off their initial leases now.
I imported a Volvo from the US to Europe in 2002 and had to spend $800 on the headlights alone to convert them from DOT to European standard (e.g. they had to be fully replaced).
