Are these pictures above what you’re looking for? I think the reason for the difference in total miles is that one from last reset.by the way, I had 20 miles of interstate driving last evening and the range went from 525 to 524. I drove it 2 miles this morning to get lunch (city) and the range decreased a little. That typically happens but if I drive it for several more miles the range increases.

Thanks for providing this. Something isn't hanging together. It is showing an average efficiency of 322 Wh / mi which would translate to 3.1 miles / kWh which with a 118 kWh battery would translate to a range of 366 miles and that was at a pretty low average speed of 23 mph. For reference the EPA rating is 371 but I would expect it to be better during the summer than the EPA rating. The estimated remaining range is 323 miles with 63% battery which would be like the 500+ mile figure you have been quoting. Which would be like 4.34 miles per kWh. Which would be pretty high for an EQS 580. Would be interested to hear if you charged it to 80% and drove it to 20% what the miles difference would be.

I almost always charge it to 80% unless we are getting ready for a long trip. I then charge it to 100%.
I am almost positive that driving in the city I do get over 4 miles per kWh.

Again, something is inconsistent then because that is not what the display is saying. This isn't about you. The car is providing a range calculation that is inconsistent with it's stated efficiency. The question is why and which one is more right. For example if the displayed range calculation included you sitting around in your driveway listening to the strereo with the A/C on full blast it would be lower than the running around town efficiency. Of course in that case you wouldn't get the claimed 500+ miles range either. Which is why I said do you own efficiency calculation by keeping track of the miles that you can go on 60% of the battery. Of course this assumes that the car gives an accurate estimate of the battery's percent charge.

I don’t know what else to tell you. I’ve been charging once every two weeks on average to 80%.
Maybe J-Boxer can shed some light here.

Here is what to do. Reset the display with miles since reset that has the Wh / mi on it. Charge it to 80%. Drive it to 20%. Take a phote of the display. If it says 300 miles or more then you are getting 500 miles + range.

I will do so. However, we are heading to Oak Brook, IL early Friday. It will likely have to until after we return Monday. The trip will be basically all interstate driving. I’ll charge it to 80% after we return and drive it to 20%. So this will take quite a while.
I am going to charge it to 100% Thursday evening for the trip. It will be interesting to see what sort of range I get on the trip.

Yes it will. Actually even more so. Again would be interesting if you reset the display for this trip to see your efficiency and range.
I forgot to reset the trip odometer until 27 miles into the trip. There, add the 27 miles to 696. The total trip was 723 miles. The majority of the time I was going 70 mph. In construction zones I had slow down to 55-60 mph. Once in a while I speeded up to 80 to pass some trucks, etc. There was also a little city driving in Oak Brook, IL. Here is the photo I took when we got home late yesterday along with a photo of the range from Oak Brook to Des Moines. As you can see, it reads 415 miles if charged to 100%.

you actually need to login to Mercedes me app on your phone and then go trip data and take screen shots and it shows the all those information as the digital gauge cluster date are real time and changes over the times !

Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I don’t see anything like that on my iPhone. Are you sure that you’re not talking about the average speed, etc. on the driver’s display screen in the car?

This includes a a 2.3 mile round trip to Panera this morning. Additionally, I forgot to reset the trip odometer until 27 miles into the trip to Oak Brook, IL.

Rather than continuing to report the guess o meters range estimates it would have been more interesting if you computed the range like people have computed their gas mileage for years.
What did people do? The filled their tank, reset their trip odometer, drove x number of miles, filled their tank again and noted the number gallon's that they put in. Divided the miles they drove by the gallons they put in to get their true MPG.
In this case you would charge to a given percent (the higher the better for this test), reset your trip odometer, drive x miles (the further the better for this test). Record the remaining charge. Subtract that remaining charge from the initial charge. Take the number of miles that you have driven, divide it by the amount of charge used and multiply that by 100. This will give you your true range.

I can tell you that I charged the car to 91% at Geneseo, IL on the way back home to a Des Moines suburb (198 miles). I still had 44% of charge left.

Ok that helps. So if you charged to 91% and then drove 198 miles and had 44% leftover your efficiency would be 4.2 MpkWh and your 100% range would be 421 miles. What was the average speed that you drove and the outside temperature associated with the drive?

The average speed was about 65 mph. It ranged from 55 in a few construction zones to about 72 most of the time. The outside temperature was 84 degrees.
