With the advent of the electric vehicle, many manufacturers have developed very specific ranges for their new products, such as Mercedes with its EQ range. But this naming should change soon for more consistency.
In 2019, Mercedes launched its major all-electric assault with the EQC, a moderately successful SUV, but technically, let’s face it, after a few years, it’s now a bit low-key compared to other models. within the manufacturer’s electrical range.
Today, the company with a star is based on the EQA, EQB, EQC, EQE, EQS, EQE SUV, EQS SUV, EQV, EQT, and soon, EQG. great collection of electric cars, But that should soon be turned upside down.
All Mercedes cars will soon be electric
As manufacturers began to market electric models, new types of “sub-brands” appeared. So, EQ in Mercedes, but also e-tron in Audi, ID in Volkswagen, Ioniq in Hyundai or “i” in BMW.
But Mercedes’ EQ range will soon be gone. In fact, according to German media Handelsblatt reported Reutersdue to the fact that The German manufacturer will offer only electric vehicles in the futurethis kind of branding within the brand itself no longer exists.
“With the aim of our parent company Mercedes-Benz becoming fully electric by the end of the decade, we will adapt the positioning of the cars and thus the use of the brand according to the times.”said a Mercedes spokesperson.
EQXX as the cornerstone of the electric Mercedes of the future?
We should have the first edges of this development in 2024, with A new generation of electric vehicles from Mercedes based on dedicated platforms is being developed. These new models should also benefit from research and development around the Mercedes EQXX concept car, as the first variants look simply stunning.
As a reminder, the Mercedes Vision EQXX traveled 1,202 kilometers across Europe, between Stuttgart and Silverstone, taking the Channel Tunnel, improving its previous record. 1202 km was covered at 2:30 in the afternoon, at an average speed of 83 km / h and without any recharging.
This record was intended to prove that good aerodynamic work (the CD was advertised at 0.17) was worth just as much, or maybe even more, than a big, bulky battery. The Mercedes Vision EQXX consumed, on average, 8.3 kWh/100 km for a 1.7 ton car with a 100 kWh battery.
By comparison, the Tesla Model 3 Propulsion, one of the most efficient electric cars, consumes around 15 kWh/100 km on the combined cycle. In the end, especially for models that are more accessible, A smaller capacity battery could be developed.
We could get a first glimpse of the future variant of the Mercedes CLA, which should be electric and which takes advantage of the ideal bodywork (sedan fastback) to work as much as possible on weight and aerodynamics in order to increase autonomy without necessarily having to carry such a large battery as the EQXX.
