Alex, I think you're slightly off 4: 38 - the EQB 250+ actually a marginally larger 70. 5 kWh battery pack, whereas the EQB 300 & 350 4matic both use the 66. 5 kWh pack. I suspect this is because the rear motor occupies some of the space which meant the less expensive FWD EQB 250+ can accommodate the bigger unit. This is why the EQB 250+ can do almost 400km on a single charge, whereas the EQB 4matic taps out at 355km.
Honestly this is clearly targeted towards a entry level MB shopper who likes the idea of an EV. The 188hp is especially low for a car at 2150kg curb. The FWD base model is strange (Even Volvo as you stated has moved away from that) and the pricing is. optimistic. You REALLY have to like that Mercedes badge up front to pick it over anything else in the segment. The EQB 350 also leases somewhat similar to the EQE 350 at least in certain states. no brainer for that one.

Call me a snob but, if its not a C, E or S, it's really not a Mercedes. In the US, the cheap Mercedes models have always been a disappointment. When Honda Toyota or Nissan makes a car that is superior in almost every measure and is more reliable, the 3 point star rapidly loses its appeal.

Obviously, the EQB 250+ is a dud compared to all the other luxury/near-luxury competitors. It isn't any sort of value if I have to buy a new set of tires so that it performs marginally better.
But then again, it's a Mercedes and has a pretty star and price tag.

I love the looks of this but the specs are sub mediocre. I can go get a fully loaded Ioniq 5 with almost twice the horsepower, a bigger battery, better charging speed and more range for less money and I can pick my color. Mercedes needs to do better for the money.

I love the design and profile of the GLB. This EQ version seems a bit more jelly bean, but the biggest issue is the price. For the money would rather have the AMG GLB35 (or 45 if we got that on our shores.

I'd be interested in a video showing the charge curve for this car. 100kW DCFC isn't amazing but if it can hold near the peak for most of the curve then it shouldn't be a problem.

The EQB is absolutely the least desirable EV in the US when it comes to basic specs per, but Mercedes has the brand strength where it doesn t have to be competitive to sell

I wonder why the Electrified GV70 is not mentioned as a competitor. Also gas and electric available, close in price and range. Any particular reason why?

The lever in the center console is to secure your phone in the wireless charger so it doesn t slide around, you pull it out above your phone.

I ve considered a used 350 as price for what you get is the biggest issue here. You can t even find them new around here in central Oregon.

the qi wireless charger holder you pulled out is for cell phone to go under the bottom, and the stick is on top so it won't fly out
