The 80 kWh battery pack has a modular design and consists of 384 lithium-ion cells.[11] It can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 40 minutes, via a DC fast charger.[12]
Steering wheel paddle shifters allow for the selection of varying levels of brake energy regeneration.[13]
Equipment
Standard equipment includes 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic collision avoidance, and two 10.25-inch interior displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment system.[14] All models feature the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system, which features a voice-controlled smart-assistant that can be activated by saying "Hey Mercedes".[15] It can display charging information and energy consumption figures.[16] The navigation system can also suggest routes that include charging stations, depending on the remaining charge of the battery.[17]
