A real range of over a thousand km is great news for the sector; however, the important question is not how far along the production of this technology is. Mercedes-Benz claims it aims to create a compact electric car that can travel 1,000 km with a great battery charge in real driving conditions.
New Electric Model Vision EQXX Consumes Only 10 kWh Per 100 Km Driven
What makes things even more exciting is the efficiency target of Mercedes-Benz’s electric car with great range: a single-digit consumption number for kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers at cruising speeds.
Beating the mark of 10 kWh/100 km is indeed significant considering that the current most efficient electric model on the market, the rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3, has an average consumption of 14 kWh/100 km.
This is one of the lowest consumptions compared to subcompact electric vehicles under ideal conditions. Since the Vision EQXX, with its great range, is described as an interdisciplinary technology program and not just a simple prototype, it will play a huge role in achieving single-digit consumption.
Mercedes-Benz Electric Car Will Focus Heavily On Aerodynamics
According to Markus, the company is evaluating each building block of efficiency and not just analyzing individual elements. The project team is filled with specialists in their respective fields.
In the Vision EQXX, energy efficiency, eDrive system integration, car concept development, software, and design are working simultaneously. Furthermore, to achieve such incredible range and efficiency ratings, the new model will also have to excel in aerodynamics.
According to the CEO, the aim is to surpass the drag coefficient of 0.20 of the Mercedes EQS, which holds the current record among production cars in this regard.
