Genesis GV70 Electrified vs Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Genesis GV70 Electrified has the higher published DC fast-charging figure at 240 kW, which is roughly 41% higher than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV at 170 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Genesis GV70 Electrified finishes in about 18 minutes, which is 14 minutes quicker than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV at 32 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has a WLTP rated range of approximately 555 km, which is roughly 100 km more than the Genesis GV70 Electrified at approximately 455 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV consumes 202 Wh/km, compared to 208 Wh/km for the Genesis GV70 Electrified. That means the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has approximately 96 kWh of useable battery , while the Genesis GV70 Electrified has approximately 80 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Genesis GV70 Electrified has the higher published DC figure (up to 240 kW) while matching the quickest published 10-80% time at approximately 18 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV is the more efficient choice at 202 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV has a WLTP rated range of approximately 555 km, which is roughly 100 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
