Mercedes: EQXX is master of efficiency 🎥
REACH RECORD With the Vision EQXX study, Mercedes presents the electric sedan of the future. Thanks to optimized efficiency in all areas, the car covers distances of 1000 kilometers on one battery charge.
The EQXX weighs 1750 kilograms. Its electric motor with around 150 kW (about 200 hp) drives the rear wheels.
Electric cars with maximum efficiency are also suitable for extended road trips. This eliminates range anxiety and thus increases the acceptance of electric drive. Mercedes-Benz is now doing further pioneering work with the new Vision EQXX sedan study.
Based on internal simulations, Mercedes assumes that the technology carrier can travel more than 1,000 kilometers in real road traffic on a single battery charge.
All components have been improved
In addition to increasing efficiency, the conservation of resources and the best possible environmental compatibility were also development goals. These were achieved by improving all components of the electric powertrain and using lightweight and sustainable materials.
The newly developed 100 kWh battery is said to be significantly smaller and lighter than batteries currently in use. Added to this are further efficiency measures: from particularly low rolling resistance tires and sophisticated aerodynamics with a drag coefficient cW of 0.17 to the use of state-of-the-art electronic control systems.
Vision EQXX shows the future of the electric car
Mercedes is not yet naming any driving performance figures. The large and comfortable vehicle weighs 1750 kilograms and has an electric motor with around 150 kW (about 200 hp) that drives the rear wheels.
Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz: "The Vision EQXX model shows how we envision the future of the electric car. In just one and a half years, we have developed the most efficient Mercedes ever - with energy consumption of less than 10 kWh per 100 kilometers. It underscores where our entire company is headed. We will build the most desirable electric cars in the world."
