We can no longer say that the electric 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS is good for big screens and nothing else – because it also has a long range. We’re talking an estimated 478 miles per charge, which is more than the Tesla Model S can currently handle. Which is quite exceptional. You could drive from Tijuana, Mexico to Modesto, California and have some battery left.
Range anxiety is a big turnoff when it comes to electric vehicles as most EVs have a range of 200 to 300 miles at mostWith slow charging networks and a still questionable infrastructure, you are only asking for consumers complain. That seems to be to be the reason why Mercedes is going big with the EQS.
Mercedes announced last summer that the EQS was intended to have a longer range than most other electric vehicles on the market, but confirmation came only yesterday, when Mercedes press release dive into the details of the sedan. In addition to the range, there are also many nice details to discover:
- Top speed limited to 210 km / h
- An power up to 385 kW
- 470 hp and 560 pound-feet of torque
- Multiple drivetrain options
- Higher density lithium ion battery with advanced thermal management
- Shorter charging times
- Battery with crash protection
- The most aerodynamic production cwere ever made, with a drag coefficient of 0.20
The European standards for range testing of electric cars, of course, differ significantly from those of the EPA measurements in the United States. actually reach figures remains to be seen. We still expect it to be a more expensive model compared to most other electric vehicles on the road.
Regardless, the EQS promises an almost astonishing level of new technologies that should improve the electric game in a big way – especially if the batteries Mercedes has developed are as compact and efficient as they claim.
