We get it. You want to save the planet, but you also don’t want to stop for 4hr lunch breaks just so that your car can recharge its batteries. Thankfully, a special team deep inside the secret labs of Mercedes-Benz shares your anxiety and decided to do something about it. Quickly. So, in just 18 months from a clean sheet of paper, we have the Vision EQXX, a statement of the brand’s transformation into a software-driven EV company.
Highlights include a mind-boggling range (based on digital simulations) in excess of a 1,000kms, which should allow you to commute to work and back for a month on a single charge! Its 100kWh battery works along with a completely purpose-built aerodynamic package that includes not just the bodywork, but also the wheels and tires.
Using sustainable materials, 3D printed parts that reduce weight and even a solar powered roof for an additional emergency booster range, the EQXX is paving the way for tech in Mercedes production cars as we speak!
