This groundbreaking battery is not only 30 percent lighter but also 50 percent smaller in size compared to equivalent lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the battery's material exhibits exceptional energy density, reaching up to 200 Wh/kg. This high energy density translates to astonishingly low energy consumption, averaging below 10 kWh per 100 kilometers. The efficiency of energy transfer from the battery to the drive wheels is equally impressive, with an efficiency rate of up to 95 percent. This exceptional power source efficiency is further complemented by the car's innovative construction.
The Mercedes-Benz's Vision EQXX's design draws inspiration from the iconic Mercedes-Benz C111 concept car from 1970, featuring a sleek and compact front end that gradually widens towards the rear. (Picture from: Autocar) |
The car's design draws inspiration from the iconic Mercedes-Benz C111 concept car from 1970, featuring a sleek and compact front end that gradually widens towards the rear. The magnesium rim design incorporates a transparent cover that seamlessly blends the rim bars. Moreover, the use of recycled materials, including composite materials, contributes to weight reduction. The result is a remarkable drag coefficient of just 0.17, emphasizing the vehicle's aerodynamic prowess.
With the impending debut of this visionary concept car at the IAA Mobility 2023 event, Mercedes-Benz reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of electric car technology, promising an exciting future for sustainable mobility. Stay tuned for more updates as we witness the dawn of a new era in automotive innovation! *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MERCEDES-BENZ | CARSCOOPS | AUTOCAR ]
