The Vision EQXX research vehicle from Mercedes makes it clear how far you can get with an electric car under everyday conditions.
Sent again Mercedes his research vehicle "Vision EQXX" on a long-distance journey on public roads. This time it went from Stuttgart to Silverstone. Without charging, the vehicle, including a few extra laps on the racetrack, covered exactly 30 kilometers in summer temperatures of up to 1.202 degrees. The average consumption was 8,3 kWh. The pure driving time was 14,5 hours, the average speed 83 km/h.
Little energy for the interior of the Vision EQXX
The Vision EQXX, which is 4,98 meters long and weighs almost 1,8 tons, has a battery with a capacity of almost 100 kWh. The drag coefficient (cW) is 0,17. A complex thermal management system for the electric drive unit and the interior requires little energy.
On its first long-distance journey in April from Sindelfingen to Cassis, the EQXX drove 1.008 kilometers and had a remaining range of 140 kilometers when it arrived on the French Mediterranean coast. At that time, the average consumption was 8,7 kWh.
