Mercedes EQXX does 746 miles on single charge

Even with the advances made in electric vehicles in recent years, range anxiety will still be putting some off. The fear of getting stranded without juice, or chargers not working, is enough to keep those raised on fossil fuels and forecourts happy with what they know.

In 14 hours and 30 minutes of driving time, the air-con was on for more than eight hours, too, and the average speed was 51mph, which accounted for “increased traffic density in the southeast of England” - and we all know how bad that can be. The EQXX travelled 7.5 miles for every kWh of energy; three miles per kWh isn’t a bad return for the average EV.

Mercedes points to the Vision EQXX’s efficiency of its drive unit as a reason for its remarkable range; because that doesn’t create a lot of heat, the thermal management system can be small and light. Weight is the enemy of efficiency, and the EQXX’s 1,755kg unladen is impressive given most EVs remain in excess of two tonnes. Those attributes works in conjunction with innovative air flow management to both further benefit cooling and aero, which will again have further range advantages.

Markus Schafer, Mercedes CTO for Development and Procurement, said of the EQXX: “Yet again, the Vision EQXX has proven that it can easily cover more than 1,000 km on a single battery charge, this time faced with a whole different set of real-world conditions. As Mercedes-Benz strives to go all-electric by 2030 wherever market conditions allow, it is important to show to the world what can be achieved in real terms through a combination of cutting-edge technology, teamwork and determination.

That’s not all for Mercedes this weekend, either, with Goodwood playing host to some significant debuts as part of AMG’s 55anniversary. The One and its incredible 1.6 hybrid turbo V6 will be going up the hill all weekend, and festival-goers will also be able to see the 843hp GT63 S E Performance and AMG GT Track Series. You know, the GT3 car with the 730hp Black Series V8. Which makes for 2,636hp between three cars.
