Mercedes Vision EQXX

Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX demonstrates its beating efficiency in real world driving, over 1,000 km on one battery charge and average consumption of 8.7 kWh/100 km.

Successful first road trip takes electric vehicle efficiency to a new level.

The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX has now taken to the roads of Europe and has demonstrated its outstanding range and efficiency. Travelling from Sindelfingen across the Swiss Alps and Northern Italy, to its destination of Cassis on the Côte d’Azur, it effortlessly covered more than 1,000 km in everyday traffic, on a single battery charge.

The journey started in cold and rainy conditions, and was undertaken at regular road speeds, including prolonged fast-lane cruising at up to 140 km/h on the German autobahn and near the speed limit elsewhere. The battery’s state of charge on arrival was around 15 percent, amounting to a remaining range of around 140 kilometres, and the average consumption was a record-breaking low of 8.7 kWh per 100 kilometres.
