Mercedes-Benz EQXX Drives Over 621 Miles / 1,000 Km On One Charge...The manufacturer said it could do it and now it’s actually done it, with range to spare, even after over 11 hours non-stop driving.

55 mph (621 miles divided by 11.3 hours). 621 miles is pretty impressive! Even if that's cut by 10% for driving 80 mph we're talking about 560 miles on a charge.

I wonder how much wattage is coming in from the solar panel? Hard to imagine it being more then 500 watts (with at best 5 peak solar hours in a day that's 2.5kWh). For reference, the Mach-e gets 2.4 miles per kWh. Even with the BMW topping that at 7.14 miles/kWh, I guess an extra 20 or so miles.

I guess it better be all that and a bag of chips with the yuge cost.

... the photovoltaic array doesn’t actually add electricity into the main battery pack, but the 12-volt battery instead.

ANY use of heater, air conditioning, etc substantially reduces the mileage. We just drove from Sacramento to La Quinta and back. Air conditioning on most of the time. Witnessed high end electric SUVs plugged into charging. It took us a few minutes to POUR energy into our SUV. The electric SUV owners did not look too happy waiting, and waiting, and waiting. If they used the ‘fast’ charge, does the manual have a warning that it cuts into the total life of the battery?

“How long to charge it?”

How old are you?

Pretty cool, but there isn’t enough cobalt, lithium, and rare earth metals for everyone to get an electric car. But then, the eco-nazis don’t want you to have a car.

So after 400 miles, how long did it take to recharge for the next 400 miles?

On road trips, I commonly drive 1,000+ miles in a day, just stopping to gas up, grab fast food, and keep rolling.

Wind resistance goes up with the square of the speed. I suspect it would be a lot more than a 10% reduction in range.
