Mercedes EQ
All-electric mobility means no local emissions, virtually silent movement and superlative response. In short, an all-new driving experience and a forward-looking form of mobility that is reminiscent of the pioneering achievements of 130 years ago.
Dynamic, almost silent and local emission-free.
Mercedes EQ Features
Charging system
Thanks to an intelligent charging system, the battery can be charged using all conventional charging options. This includes domestic sockets, wallboxes, alternating current charging stations (AC) and rapid charging stations (DC).
The on-board charger is integrated into the vehicle and manages charging via the public power grid. It transforms alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) voltage. Alongside the option of charging at a “normal” mains connection (AC), it is also possible to charge the vehicle at DC charging stations (rapid charging stations).
High-voltage lithium-ion battery
The high-voltage lithium-ion battery is the central energy store for the electric drive. Both the range and the performance are directly dependent on the capabilities of the battery.
The battery is charged externally on the power grid. In addition, energy is recovered by way of recuperation during braking procedures and in overrun mode. The battery is installed in the underbody for a dynamically favourable low overall vehicle centre of gravity
Recuperative brake system
For additional range: there is great potential to reduce consumption by increasing recuperation in overrun mode and braking phases.
This takes place via intelligent, efficiently optimised distribution of the deceleration torque. When you press down on the brake pedal, the electric motor initially takes on the task of decelerating the vehicle, acting as an alternator. You can also influence recuperation performance using the shift paddles on the steering wheel in several stages.
Electric motor
One electric motor at the front axle and rear axle respectively converts the electrical energy from the high-voltage battery into mechanical energy, and delivers impressive forward thrust from the first rev.
To reduce electrical consumption and to improve dynamics, efficient distribution of the drive forces is steplessly regulated between the front and rear axles.
THE JOY OF ELECTRIC DRIVING
Experience an entirely new sensation of sheer driving pleasure. After all, nothing compares with the feeling of gliding almost silently through urban or rural traffic, the instant response of the electric engine and unique acceleration from stand-still. And all of this is free of exhaust fumes and local emissions.
Mercedes-Benz intends to design and manufacture ten EQ models by 2022, all of which will be based on a single platform developed specifically for electric drivetrains, and which can be configured for any type of vehicle owing to modularization.
