Mercedes-Benz has with one slightly modified EQs and one Lithium-metal-folding body battery a rangwide demonstration of superlatives delivered: from Stuttgart to Malmö drove the test vehicle 1205 kilometers without a charging stop - and according to the on -board computer would even be Another 140 kilometers possible.
Record trip via A7 and E20
The route led over the A7 in Germany, through Denmark And about the E20 to Malmö in Sweden. Mercedes used the system for planning Electric Intelligence, the topography, weather, traffic and energy requirement for heating and cooling.
With this trip, the EQS exceeded the previous record of the Vision EQXX Around three kilometers and showed: Solid body batteries not only work in the laboratory, but also on the street.
Technology in detail: 25 % more reach with the same weight
-
Lithium-metal fixed body cells From the US manufacturer Factorial energy
-
25 % more energy content With the same battery weight
-
Pneumatic actuators the same cell volume changes when charging/unloading
-
Passive air flow cooling For more efficiency and less weight
-
Development in cooperation with Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains From Formula 1
Mercedes wants that Serial maturity of the solid-state batteries until the end of the 2020s Reach and increase range and charging speed of electric cars massively.
Quote from Mercedes-CTO Markus Schäfer
"The solid -state battery is a real gamuchanger. We want to bring this technology into the series by the end of the decade and offer our customers a completely new level of reach and comfort."
