On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Electric, eQE owners report OTA software updates failing mid-installation, leaving the infotainment system in a degraded state or boot loop. The issue appears related to connectivity interruptions during the download phase and inadequate rollback mechanisms in the MBUX software.
Ensure the vehicle is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network and parked with the high-voltage battery above 50% before initiating updates. If an update fails, a dealer visit is required to reflash the MBUX head unit via XENTRY. Mercedes has improved update reliability in recent firmware versions.
Owner tips & cautions
TipNever start an OTA update on cellular — always use home Wi-Fi. Keep the car plugged in during updates. If it fails, a hard reboot (hold power button 10s) sometimes recovers the system before you need a dealer visit.

On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Electric, eQE owners experience significantly inconsistent DC fast charging speeds, with the car sometimes limiting to 50-80 kW even on 150+ kW capable chargers. The battery thermal management system is overly conservative, throttling charge rates based on recent driving history and ambient temperature.
Use the "Route" function in MBUX navigation to pre-condition the battery before arriving at a DC fast charger. Avoid back-to-back fast charging sessions. A software update improves the battery thermal preconditioning algorithm — ensure the latest firmware is installed.
Owner tips & cautions
TipAlways route to your charger through MBUX navigation — the car will precondition the battery en route. This alone can double your peak charge rate. Charging cold after a short drive will always be slow.
