Mercedes car electric no local
broadcasts, almost silent driving, and brand new driving sensations. Battery
electric propulsion: The drive system of a battery-electric car includes an
electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, a power electronics, and a charger. The
vehicle is powered by the electric motor, which is powered by the inverter. The
battery is charged both externally on the power grid and by energy recovery
during travel.
In total, two electric motors drive the
EQC. Distributed between each axle, they develop up to 300 kW of power and 765
Nm of torque. Managed independently, they have distinct features. The first, at
the front, is optimized for energy efficiency while the second, at the rear,
serves as support during more dynamic driving phases. In terms of performance,
the Mercedes EQC boasts a maximum speed of 180 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1
seconds.
Totaling 80 kWh of «useful» capacity, the
Mercedes EQC boasts more than 374 to 414 km of range in the WLTP cycle with an
average consumption of 22.2 kWh/100 km.
Supplied by Deutsche Accumotive, a subsidiary of the Daimler Group, the battery is integrated under the floor. Composed of six modules – two with 48 cells and 4 with 72 cells – it totals 384 cells and weighs 650 kilograms. Note that the pack has a thermal regulation system to maintain its performance in hot or cold weather. And to optimize the range, the EQC also includes several types of equipment to limit the consumption such as the heat pump or a function of pre-heatAir conditioning allows the driver to set the desired temperature remotely via a mobile app or the main touch screen.
In practice, the Mercedes EQC can be
recharged in two ways:
• In AC via its 7.4 kW onboard charger.
In this case, allow 10 to 12 hours for a full charge
• In DC with Combo up to 110 kW in 40
minutes for 10-80% load
The Mercedes EQV allows more than 400
kilometers of range in a single charge, presented as a concept in 2019 at the
Geneva Motor Show, the Mercedes EQV was revealed in its final version in August
2019, the Mercedes EQV is characterized by its EQ markings, its distinctive
light signature, and front shield. Offering up to 5.37 m in length, it can
accommodate up to 8 passengers depending on its configuration and a space of 1030
for luggage storage.
Integrated in the front of the vehicle, the electric motor has 150 kW of power, or 204 horsepower, and 362 Nm of torque. And if Mercedes does not give any indication as to the 0 to 100 km/h, it announces a top speed of up to 160 km/h and the presence of different driving and regeneration modes.
Offering 100 kWh of capacity, including
90 kWh of useful capacity, the battery of the Mercedes EQV is integrated under
the floor so as not to impact the interior of the vehicle. Pending official
approval figures, Mercedes communicates on a theoretical range of 405
kilometers with a load and on average consumption of 27 kWh/100 km.
On the Mercedes EQV, the charging door is placed on the left side of the front bumper. With a capacity of 11 kW, the onboard charger on board the EQV allows a complete recharge in less than 10 hours. Thus It is completed by a 110 kW connector to the standard Combo. On a fast terminal, the manufacturer communicates on a load of 10 to 80% in less than 45 minutes.
