Crossing the US-Canada border
In July, I plan on making a long road trip in my EQS SUV - from California to Vancouver, Canada, then across BC to Calgary, Alberta - then returning to the US (via Montana). A couple of questions:
- When I cross the border from the US to Canada, will my MBUX speed display automatically change from miles-per-hour to kilometers-per-hour? If not, then is there any way to change from miles-per-hour to kilometers-per-hour manually, while I'm driving in Canada? (Yes, I know that it's possible to get this 'coded', but that's not what I'm looking for.)
- There are no "Electrify America" stations in Canada. Are there any other major charging stations in Canada on the Mercedes charging network (that will be used automatically when I route using MBUX)? Are there other charging networks in Canada that I should be aware of (that perhaps require the use of their own app)?

Try planning out your route and stop with https://abetterrouteplanner.com/. It will identify charging locations, and you can then research them to see if an app would be needed or just a credit card.

Speculation is fun, but in this case I was hoping to hear from someone who has actual experience crossing the US-Canada border in an EQS.

OK, I see it now. (I had to scroll down to see the "Units" menu.)
This gives me exactly what I wanted: The ability to see km/h on the display when I start driving in Canada.
Now for the second part of my question:
There are no "Electrify America" stations in Canada. Are there any other major charging stations in Canada on the Mercedes charging network (that will be used automatically when I route using MBUX)? Are there other charging networks in Canada that I should be aware of (that perhaps require the use of their own app)?
