Thanks for your response. I haven't monitored the battery drain that closely, but it does seem to need charging more often. Can you tell me more about your experience and if the symptoms were the same?

Yep, frequent charging was my first clue. Then the power drops became more frequent until the car basically refused to drive any distance. I’d strongly recommend getting the battery checked at a workshop. Mine was heavily discharged, which caused the system malfunction. It's better to address it sooner to prevent further electrical fault.

I appreciate you sharing your experience; it's similar to what I'm seeing. I scheduled an appointment with a certified Mercedes-Benz workshop based on your suggestion. The diagnostic assessment confirmed the battery was heavily discharged and needed to be replaced. The total cost, including labor, was 290€ Thanks again for your help.

Sounds rough! I had a similar issue with my B Klasse. It started with a battery warning and escalated to the engine cutting out. It felt like the car was running on fumes. Have you noticed the battery draining faster than usual, especially with the EV problem?
