- Welcome to another fuel economy test with Azizdrives! Today, we’re conducting a real-life test to determine if an electric car, specifically the Mercedes-Benz EQS 53, is more cost-effective and practical than a petrol or diesel car. This test is designed for everyday users without the luxury of home charging stations. We’ll drive 50 km, charge the car, and see how much it costs, comparing it to traditional fuel prices. Join us for an honest and detailed review of the EQS 53, examining its performance, interior quality, and overall value for everyday users. Can electric cars truly replace conventional vehicles in real-world scenarios? Watch to find out!

I think this car doesn’t deserve the Amg badge.
GT4 RS CIVIC
I think electric cars have their place in the car industry. Nobody can deny that they are nice when you have a house with solar panels and you use an electric car for short trips thru the city. But for example when I'm having a holiday/big trip, please...I'm an engineer...I don't want to do math in my free time..I do it at work.
Bro true, but my free time is sometimes busyier then my work time .. 😅
"you vegan asses" bro really used vegan as an insult HAHA hilarious
Its a common insult?
I like what the fuck part of the video ahhahaa
Kudos, petrol and diesel is here to stay! :D
Nice video as always, but you should have used a Tesla. The mad crying fanboys would have guaranteed for more views 😂
agreed
Ill do another one with a tesla hahahah
@@azizdrives Hahahahahaha
@@azizdrivesget ready for supreme hate :)).

I like his honesty.
IMO Hybrids are the best. You can drive in traffic with the electric motor and on the highway you have plenty of fun. Could you maybe do one of these tests with Porsche Panamera Hybrid? I really like that car, and it would be awesome to see how it does in a mixt drive in the real world. Keep it up!
12:48 😂😂😂😂
best guy ever
Does it deserve the AMG badge? In my opinion, absolutely not... Maybe for driving the kids to school and to the office comfortably it will do the job, but lets be serious now, who the hell is going to wait so long for this shit to charge? It was on 87% and take 26 MINUTES to charge.... if you would go from 0 to 100% the kids will be in University by the time it is done charging 🤣 Not only this but then when something goes wrong with the battery, who will fix it for you?
EV‘s might only be Good for short city trips and use it like a phone, charge it every night provided you have a house, which in Europe is pretty unlikely for the majority.
What surprised me about EVs is that in reality you can only achieve about half of the estimated range. EV's depreciate hard due to their low demand on the market obviously. Lately I hear friends selling their EV's, because of the frequent (and very long) charging. So I researched online and found that electric cars tend to have higher consumption or struggle to reach their estimated range on highways. I found out that there's approximately a 25% range loss at 100 km/h and a 45% range loss at 130 km/h. This inevitably requires more frequent charging (that take a long time) when making long journeys. That's why EV's are the best in start-stop/city traffic situations imo.
As for myself who's mostly on the highway, I’m currently leaning more towards hybrid cars. The reason is that the infrastructure for electric cars isn’t quite advanced enough and the range of an EV is horrible on highway speeds thus you're continously looking for a charger. Also, by utilizing a hybrid system, you’re not dependent on a single energy source. With the hybrid you use electric power for city driving and gasoline mode on the highway. That's why the take on hybrids were wrong where these people bought a hybrid to only end up driving with the electric drivetrain in the city for commutes... Hybrids shouldn't be seen as a tool to transition to a full electric future, but rather a solution where you can use both energy sources at their peak efficiency. That's why Toyota's hybrid was the most efficient car according to a study and are german car makers moving to a more hybrid solution rather than a full transition to EV.
god bless You!

Ah Aziz, you make me laugh. 🤣🦊
Usually, you don't charge an EV full, Takes longer in the last 20% or so and it's not good for the battery if not used directly afterwards.
With an EV like that, you could commute an average distance of 30-40km/day and charge by the end of the week.
Anyways, this is not a representative test by any means.
So you have to wait 26 minutes for charging after a 25 minutes drive 😂 😂 enough time to fart in that vegan leather seats… 😉😃 (and before this ev fanboys write there smart-ass comments: I know at least the leather is real leather)… this car is a waste of leather and a waste of time. You can see the success of this EV when you takes look at the residual values.. just a write/rip off. Not more than a very expensive ideological decision to buy this car… the weight and the torque… how long will the tyres/the brakes last? I respect everybody’s decision to buy a car like this but it is not really a economical or environmental reason… it‘s a ideological one. Maybe the next iterations will improve the suitability for everyday use (inkl. costs)
I just want to mention that for batteries it is way harder to charge from 80 to 100 and usually takes as long as going from 0-80 unfortunately, so ideally like phones you keep the car before going to 100% if you don't do long trips, this way the battery it will be protected and you would not have to wait a million hours in charging stations.
100 percent, but the test was more about cost. Waiting wasn’t really the main objective
@@azizdrives Po e vertet Aziz 🇽🇰❤️
love these type of comparisons!! Real world usage, not what brands want you to think!!
Try to do the same thing with Tesla Model 3. You will be amazed by results. Last year, I had a trip in Europe (around 1,500km) consumed 220 kW for the whole trip with roughly 0.35€ per kW at superchargers it cost me 77 euros in total
''They have to be made aerodynamically''. Like other cars don't need that😆. That's just excuse so that they can take more money and try to have comparable range with ICE engines
Hahah i mean an s coupe is as aerodynamic believe it or not its like 0.01 cv away
I don't give a flying.... which one is cheaper but at least make the test even slightly fair to the EV. 80-100 charge takes forever due to charging curves of these batteries. It's absolutely insane to sit at a fast charger going from 80 somethint to 100% as most of these chargers also charge you for the time spent.
I'm a petrolhead but not knowing this is just plain lazy and knowing it and still doing the test like this is just misleading on purpose.
Alright then explain to me the difference in cost, when it gives it 10% of charge, the purpose of the test was not the time consumption but the cost as you can see even in the title saying is it really cheaper? 12kwh are 12kwh no matter if they are from 30-45% or from 85 - 99%
@@azizdrives You sure the charger was only charging for kWh and not any additional charge for the time you spent plugged in?
Either I'm stupid or you didn't go through the whole cost aspect on the video.
My point is that going from 80 to 100% takes forever.. going from 10 to 30 takes almost no time at all and if the charger is costing additional money for time plugged in this test is kinda giving off a weird result.
99% of ev owners would ever be sitting on a quick charger at +80% if they care about the cost.
I don't even ride an EV and not planning on buying one either but this test seemed a BIT biased 😁
But I can respect the youtube hustle of baiting petrolheads to chant in the comments how bad EV's are
Buy ICE. Problem solved
Hey Aziz Love your videos!
But: in my opinion an elecrtic car is way less expensive!
You drive it during the day. And charge it with „nachttariv“ electricity prices in your rental garage.
And dont forgett to mention the service cost.
I dont know the prices for a Bentley or your M6 v10 but i think they are immense.
You dont have that with a electic cars.
Still enjoy my GR Yaris and whould not buy an EV🤙🏻
Thats literally what he said...if you dont have a place to charge it at home.
Hi friend, thanks for your comment. I get your point. It's like with the nitro reef, but my point was that if you have to drive 300 kilometers to somewhere like Austria or Germany, you need to plan where to charge along the way, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area. There's a lot to consider and plan. I agree, a Bentley isn't cheaper to own than an electric car, but which one makes you happier? Danke für de kommentar
this is the most stupid and pointless clip i have ever seen in my life, no normal person with an electric car would ever do that, eqs owners will charge the battery overnight at home and only charge at ionity on long trips , and when they go a long trip they will use the mercedes me connect card which will offer them prices at a third of what you paid at ionity, and there is one more thing, no one will charge from 87% to 99%, when the battery is cold and anyway after 85% it charges very slow and doesn't charge quickly anymore
Lots of 'no one' excuses. Gas owners dont have such problems, you fill up, and go.
@@garosama4517 with an electric car you save time because you don't have to go and waste time refueling, you just charge it overnight, at the hotel, at the mall, at the restaurant or where at your destination, you just need to get a little carried away and be open minded, because as a daily they are super good
@@victorc.979 lol he literally says that he tests it with a lot of driving and no charging overnight. It doesnt even work for everyone now, how should it work with way more EVs with few charging stations?
I thiking battery is not cheap replacement. 🤔
you actually don't know a lot about E-Cars. I don't like them either but this is a lot of shit you showing for a real and faire compare.
why not? It has 120kw/h of capacity and on a long drive i want it to be fully charged. I don't want to stop every 200 km to charge it to 80%, also i wanted to calculate the cost because it doesn't matter how long it takes to charge, it uses the same amount of energy from top to bottom
Like what exactly?
you never load a car completely full, because the end of the load needs to long.
Lol why dont you load a EV full? Dafuq is this shit
A vegan Amg
it would be nice if you drove this car for a week to compare. Like with every stats. Time wast etc.
I can do that in the future sure
@@azizdrives Really a whole week, if here already after 50 km you get mad 😂😂😂
@@LostVikingLV😂😂😂😂😂😂
But the best electric car is Tesla!
Not even a luxury car like this lol just a Tesla
Yes, yes they are.
no they arent
So true! Thx aziz for keeping me at internal combustions🫡
