It included laps of the Silverstone circuit.
During a recent long-distance trip from Stuttgart, Germany to Silverstone, England, the Mercedes Vision EQXX covered 747 miles (1.202 kilometers) on a single charge. This is more than the 626-mile (1.007-kilometer), trip that was made from Sindelfingen in Germany to Cassis in France.
Two-day, 14-hour-and-a-half-minute trip took place in real-world conditions. This included heavy traffic on the road near London and closure of a section of the autobahn. The air conditioner was run by the occupants for more than eight hours during the journey. Even a stop at Brackley’s Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix shop, England was made.
Nyck de Vries, a Formula E racing driver, took his EV around Silverstone for 11 laps. He reached the maximum speed of 87 mph (140 km/h). In the pitlane, the car ran out of fuel.
If de Vries drove the 3.661-mile (5.891 km) Silverstone grand prix layout, it would have taken 40.271 miles. It’s possible that the EQXXX could drive longer distances at a lower speed.
The EQXXX consumed 7.5 miles per kilowatt hour (8.3 kWh/100 km) during this trip. Average speed was 51.57 mph (83 km/h). The previous long drive returned 7.14 miles per unit of electricity (8.7 kWh/100 km).
After the drive to Silverstone and recharging, the EQXX went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. You can see the EV running up the hill.
Mercedes doesn’t disclose the EQXX’s battery capacity other that it is less than 100 kWh. The pack is 50% smaller and 30% lighter than the one in EQS. One electric motor produces 241 horsepower (180kilowatts). A solar panel is located on the roof to power elements such as the HVAC system or infotainment. This maximizes range. The unladen vehicle weighs in at 3,869 pounds (1.755 kg).
