Mercedes-Benz is bringing an ultra-efficient EV to CES 2022 with world-beating range, but you can't buy one.
Ahead of CES 2022, Mercedes-Benz unveiled an electric concept car that pushes the limits of efficiency and range.
One specific area of focus was aerodynamics, because the less energy a car needs to expend punching a hole through the air, the farther it can go. The EQXX’s flattened nose and elongated tail give it a coefficient of drag of 0.17, beating Mercedes’ own EQS, which is currently the world’s most aerodynamic production car. Even the 20-inch wheels were optimized for aerodynamics, while the Bridgestone Turanza Eco tires were designed for ultra-low rolling resistance.
Mercedes also tapped its Formula One powertrain division to help design a compact drive unit combining the electric motor, transmission, and power electronics. Mercedes said this unit can transfer 95% of the energy from the battery pack to the wheels, making it vastly more efficient than any internal-combustion powertrain. However, with an output of 201 horsepower, it’s not exactly overflowing with power.
