The Mercedes S500e has to be one of the poshest plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) on the market. All-electric range is not bad for a car of this size at about 30 miles. But then as you’d expect from sophisticated package like this, the V6 petrol engine takes up a lot of the charging duties as you drive.
Charging the Mercedes S500e is simple enough when using a 7.4kW home charger, taking just over two hours from empty to full.
