WLTP is always higher. EPA says EQS gets 563 km. Which is probably much closer to reality

The EQS 450+ (w/o) 4matic is claiming 780km wltp. https://insideevs.com/news/608205/mercedes-eqs-450-bjorn-range-tests/

Yes WLTP and EPA aren't the same thing.

They are very different methodologies.

I am aware. But I responded to a person quoting tesla model S Wltp range with EQS wltp range, so I really don't see the problem

If you Buy and EQS, don't expect to get WLTP numbers.

Based on real world ranges, the EPA estimates are much close to reality.

The context I replied to was another user questioning the newly developed battery tech with the argument that model S already have more range (wltp), then I responded with a model (eqs) that has an even bigger wltp range. Nothing more, I'm not buying an EQS or claiming the wltp range is correct.

Sure, but like both WLTP ranges and the range mentioned in the original article. These 'ranges' should be taken with a grain of salt.

In reality they are significantly less than WLTP numbers.

Still no cars with actual ranges over 600km

Oh nice. Even more reason to question this number then.

I'm sure it's different at highway speeds in the US, but I get wltp range no problem in the summer half of the year commuting to work. No I don't have an EQS

They have a massive battery though. 107kwh iirc. the car weighs 3 tonnes.
