The world’s most expensive electric scooter will cost more than $125,000. Why is it so expensive? Because it comes with a Mercedes.
We write about a lot of special-edition cars. This is one of the oddest.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS City Edition is as much an electricity package as it is a car. Mercedes will build just 150 City Editions and sell them only in the greater Los Angeles area.
The company hasn’t announced pricing for the model. But it’s based on the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4Matic, which starts at $125,950.
It will likely cost a bit more than that, primarily because it comes with a home charging unit. The ChargePoint Home Flex charger costs $749 on its own before installation. The City Edition comes with a $1,000 voucher to help pay for the installation.
It also includes $250 worth of credit for use on ChargePoint’s network of public chargers. And, because public chargers aren’t always located exactly where you need to go, it includes an electric scooter. The Unagi Model One Voyager electric scooter includes one year of complimentary insurance and maintenance.
We just learned there’s such a thing as scooter insurance.
The car itself is an EQS 580 4Matic with 516 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and Mercedes’ unique door-to-door Hyperscreen entertainment system. It’s available in Diamond White or Twilight Blue with striped walnut wood interior trim. White models get a choice of Macchiato Beige or Space Grey leather upholstery. Blue versions get Neva Grey or Sable Brown leather.
