However, the price of the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 places it among the most expensive electric cars in the country, costing more than many other EVs as well as several petrol and diesel vehicles.
At the same time, charging infrastructure is a concern in India. Like many long-range electric vehicles in India, the availability of reliable fast-charging stations is still limited in several regions. This may affect the convenience of long-distance travel, especially in areas where compatible high-speed chargers are not easily accessible.
While the EQS 580 leads in range, other EVs in India also offer long distances on a single charge, such as the Tesla Model Y Long Range with about 661 km and the Kia EV6 with around 663 km on a single charge.
