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.

Nice car, but since each one uses up 1/3rd the world’s available lithium, they can only make three.

FOR SOME PEOPLE.............

[Tell It Right]

It's been decades since I tested it. So maybe I'm behind times. But in my then new 1991 Ranger I saw only a 10% reduction in mpg between driving 60 mph vs 80 mph. I'd say about 3/4ths of my driving was on the highway. And I did it for 2 weeks each.

As a college student I was experimenting to see if the gas savings was worth it. But as a full time worker (while going to college) I determined that my time was more valuable than saving 10% in on $1.20-ish per gallon.

OK.... now make them for a $30K MSRP, have rapid charge stations frequently down major highways, and build 2 dozen more nuke plants, and they might have something there.

I had an EE prof that declared in a lecture that there are 3 types of current: Alternating (AC), Direct (DC) and Automotive...lol

my gasoline car goes and goes and goes- and only takes minutes to fill-

[Bob434]

[crusty old prospector]

Probably all downhill from the Alps.

[SkyDancer]

And it takes two days to charge it. (>humor<)

[Terry L Smith]

nope. ot worth going into hock for.

[I want the USA back]

Keep trying. Maybe one day you’ll convince me. Perhaps if you’d let me ask some questions. Like “was that on a freezing cold sunless day? How were the roads? Clear and smooth, or congested and rough. Was that with a new set of batteries, or old?

The essence of good transportation is speed. This is why we’ve always valued fast horses, fast cars, fast aircraft, etc.

Lol

I’ll give German electrics a pass

Don't despair. Rumor has it that they're going to team up with the Britts at Lucas Electrical to get those things fixed.

I’ve done 810 miles (eastern Massachusetts to Montreal,and return) in my diesel.Twice.

And after the trip it took me 4 minutes to “recharge” it.
