The Intelligent Energy Recovery Feature Explained in Detail
⏰ 2-minute Read – Mercedes-Benz continues to lead the way with innovative technology in electric mobility that enhances efficiency and driving dynamics. One such feature in the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan is the Intelligent Energy Recovery system.
Designed to optimize battery performance and improve driving range, this system utilizes advanced recuperation technology to harness energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and deceleration. But how does it work, and what benefits does it offer?
Understanding Intelligent Energy Recovery in the 2025 EQE Sedan
The Intelligent Energy Recovery system in the 2025 EQE Sedan allows drivers to regain energy when slowing down, helping to extend the vehicle’s range. This process, known as recuperation, occurs when kinetic energy from the vehicle’s movement is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery. Unlike traditional braking systems that dissipate energy as heat, the EQE Sedan’s regenerative braking system ensures that every bit of energy is used efficiently.
To give drivers complete control over this function, Mercedes-Benz has integrated steering wheel paddles allowing on-the-go recuperation levels adjustment. The system offers three distinct settings:
- Normal Recuperation: A balanced setting that saves energy without drastically altering the driving feel.
- Increased Recuperation: A more aggressive energy recovery mode that enables one-pedal driving, where lifting off the accelerator can bring the vehicle to a stop without needing to use the brake pedal.
- No Recuperation: Allows the car to coast freely when the accelerator is released, similar to a traditional internal combustion vehicle.
For an even more seamless experience, the D Auto setting activates Intelligent ECO Assist, automatically adjusting recuperation levels based on driving conditions. This smart system determines the most efficient way to manage energy recovery in real time by analyzing factors such as traffic, road gradient, and navigation data.

The Benefits of Intelligent Energy Recovery
Mercedes-Benz has engineered this system to provide several key advantages:
- Enhanced Driving Efficiency: By optimizing energy recuperation, the EQE Sedan can extend its electric range, reducing the need for frequent charging stops.
- Greater Driver Comfort: The adjustable recuperation settings allow drivers to tailor their driving experience, whether they prefer smooth coasting or one-pedal driving.
- Seamless Integration with ECO Assist: The Intelligent ECO Assist feature ensures that energy recuperation is adapted dynamically for the most efficient performance in any driving scenario.
- Reduced Brake Wear: The system slows the car using electric recuperation instead of traditional friction braking, so brake pads experience less wear, leading to lower maintenance costs over time.
