If you’re looking for a new luxury EV in the Pekin area, consider upgrading to the BMW i7 or the EQS!

Our team has put together a comparison guide outlining the performance specs, battery power, and charging capabilities of the BMW i7 and EQS.

Performance is often one of the very first things that prospective drivers look at when considering an electric car since EVs are famous for their powerful specs and agile handling! While the BMW i7 is powered by a slightly smaller battery than the EQS, it offers much more impressive horsepower, torque, and acceleration, making it an easy choice when it comes to engine specs. Here are the details:

Due to the similar size of their batteries, the BMW i7 and EQS have roughly the same charging times. When using a DC fast charger at a public charging station like Electrify America or Plugshare, you can get up to 80% of your battery charged in as little as 31 minutes! The Mercedes EQ has a slightly longer electric range of 350 miles, but the BMW i7 keeps up with a range of around 300 miles. Both luxury sedans also come with two years of complimentary 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America public chargers, so you won’t have to worry about running out of battery on the Washington roads.
Where the BMW i7 takes the edge over the EQS is with the BMW Flexible Fast Charger, an innovative solution for charging on the go. Every BMW electric vehicle, including the i7, comes with a Flexible Fast Charger included at no cost to you! The Flexible Fast Charger is compatible with any Level 1 (120v) or Level 2 (240v) charging outlet, which means you can use it as a one-size-fits-all solution for all your charging needs.
