Mercedes-Benz Electric Concept Vehicle ‘Vision EQXX’ Incredibly Travels over 1 200km on Single Battery Charge

• Mercedes-Benz showcases the efficiency of its electric concept car, the 'Vision EQXX', with a trip from Stuttgart, Germany to Silverstone in the United Kingdom
• The sleek concept car cuts through the air which helps its efficiency thanks to its aerodynamics and lightweight design
• The full trip was 1 202km and thanks to the concept's 100 kWh capacity it managed to eke out the range on one charge

Mercedes-Benz is intent on showing the world how efficient its slippery 'Vision EQXX' electric concept car is, and a recent 1 200km trip on a single charge broke its previous record.

The trip began in Stuttgart, Germany and ended in Silverstone, England for a grand total of 1 202km, according to Mercedes-Benz.

There are a few factors that helped the concept use just 8.3kWh per 100km, such as its aerodynamic design and use of lightweight materials. It features the same 100 kWh capacity battery as Mercedes' current electric flagship EQS model but weighs significantly less, according to DesignTaxi.
