We can no longer say that the electric Mercedes-Benz EQS 2022 is good for big screens and nothing more, because it also has a wide range. We are talking about an estimated 478 miles per load, which exceeds what the Tesla Model S can currently handle. Which is quite exceptional. You can drive from Tijuana, Mexico, to Modesto, California, and you still have a battery left over.
Autonomy anxiety is a major setback when it comes to electric vehicles, as most electric vehicles have a range of 200 to 300 miles. at most. With slow charging networks and still questionable infrastructure, just ask consumers to complain. Which it seems for being the reason Mercedes is growing up with the EQS.
Mercedes announced last summer that it intended the EQS to have a longer range than most other vehicles on the market, but confirmation did not arrive until yesterday, when Mercedes released a Press release diving into the details of the sedan. Along with the range, there are also many neat details to discover:
- Top speed limited to 130 mph
- An power up to 385 kW
- 470 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque
- Multiple drive train options
- Higher density lithium ion battery with sophisticated thermal management
- Shorter charging times
- Accident-protected battery
- The most aerodynamic production cit is never done, with a drag coefficient of 0.20
Of course, European standards for testing the range of electric cars are significantly different from U.S. EPA measures; real they remain to see the rank figures. We still expect it to be a high-end model compared to most other electric vehicles on the road.
In any case, the EQS promises an almost astonishing level of new technologies that should improve electric gaming, especially if the batteries Mercedes has developed are as compact and efficient as it claims.
