Mercedes-Benz has teased an all-electric prototype dubbed the Vision EQXX that promises to be the most efficient electric car ever as well as the one with the longest range. The car manufacturer shared teaser images and preliminary details about the prototype during its 2020 strategy update presentation. During the presentation, it suggested it could travel from Beijing to Shanghai, a journey of roughly 750 miles (1,207 km), on a single charge.
The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX is being
developed by a team based in Stuttgart that is receiving support from the AMG
High Performance Powertrain group in the UK that has motorsport experience with
electric motors.
Engineers behind the project have revealed
the key to the Vision EQXX’s range will be efficiency rather than a massive
battery pack. The Mercedes Vision EQXX is tipped to be a one-off prototype
rather than a production model. With that being said, the automaker has
confirmed that things it learns from the prototype will filter across its range
of electric production cars.
