Scott VS silicon valley! Can Mercedes EQS choose Tesla Model S?

As we all know, in the future, electric vehicles will be the trend. Although Tesla is currently in a leading position in the electric vehicle industry, Mercedes-Benz, as an established automobile manufacturer, will naturally not fall behind, so EQ series came into being. The compact electric SUV EQC is coming soon. So what kind of car is EQS mentioned by Uncle Che here? EQS should not be understood as an electric version of the S-class sedan, which is expected to be available soon. The most noteworthy thing for the people who eat melons is that the EQS goal is Tesla Model? S, a bit like "Detroit vs Silicon Valley". Although Mercedes-Benz does not represent the traditional American automobile manufacturing industry, Stuttgart vs Silicon Valley is better. If you didn't like electric cars before, it may be time to start paying attention.

Mercedes-Benz EQS has a cruising range of 435 miles.

At the recent shareholders' meeting, Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, discussed many topics, the most prominent of which was the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and how car sales would plummet under this impact. However, Ola Caglini, CEO of Daimler, is optimistic about this. After briefly denying COVID-19's influence, he brought some very exciting news. He announced the details of the Mercedes-Benz W223 S class and asked everyone to pay attention to EQS. Che Shu believes that the biggest highlight of this car is that EQS is an electric car built with a new design language, not based on the current S-class hybrid version.

This may also be the reason why EQS was so proud and excited to share it when it arrived at the exhibition hall-it will provide a cruising range of up to 700 kilometers (435 miles).

In order to better understand how awesome this mileage is, Uncle Che moved out of the big electric car Tesla Model. S. recent models? S Endurance Plus has just passed the 400-mile mark in the US Environmental Protection Agency test. In the EPA test, what is the model number? S has a cruising range of 647 kilometers (402 miles). It is worth noting that the EQS mentioned by Caglini Uss has a cruising range of 435 miles according to the WLTP standard. Although the WLTP standard is much more accurate than the NEDC standard used a few years ago, it is still looser than the EPA standard used in the United States.

Generally speaking, the EPA's rating of vehicles will be slightly lower than WLTP, so we may not see the official rating of 435 miles in the official cruising range, but the EPA's rating of EQS is much higher than that of 402 miles. There is nothing wrong with the S-Life Plus version.

However, the market for luxury electric vehicles is far more than these two manufacturers, so the war between Mercedes-Benz and Tesla should not last long. Because Jaguar will be ahead of a new competitor, jaguar XJ? EV took part in the competition. We don't know the specific performance of this car yet, but we can feel the strength of Jaguar, so its performance will naturally not let you down. It will be another brand-new competitor in this market.

Che Shu concluded

If you love a car, you may look down on it and think it is not pure enough. In the second industrial revolution, the innovation and use of internal combustion engines enabled people to successfully manufacture cars driven by internal combustion engines. Today, the internal combustion engine has been developed for more than one hundred years. With the continuous development of battery and fast charging technology, major established automobile manufacturers have begun to invest in the research and development of electric vehicles, and perhaps the latest automobile industry revolution is quietly coming. Although electric vehicles are still facing various charging facilities and battery usage problems, Uncle Che believes that in the near future, even the people who hate electric vehicles the least will turn to electric vehicles. It's only a matter of time.
