The climb to Jebel Shams asks more of a battery's cooling than anything on flat ground does, and the descent runs almost entirely on regeneration. That is easier on the brakes than it sounds — so much easier that the discs corrode from disuse rather than wear out, which is a fault we look for here specifically.
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is the seven-seat EQ, and the extra weight tells on the brakes. We cover EQ high-voltage systems, air suspension that works hard on the Nizwa road, and MBUX coding in Muscat, and tell you plainly when nothing needs doing.
