vehicles this Cutting Edge Electric
0:21
Vehicle boasts remarkable achievements
0:24
and sets a new standard for efficiency
0:26
and range one of the standout features
0:29
of the vision EQ XX is its astonishing
0:33
aerodynamics with a drag coefficient
0:39
0.17 this makes it potentially the most
0:41
aerodynamic car ever produced
0:44
considering that the typical car falls
0:49
range the combination of enhanced
0:52
aerodynamics and a 30% lighter 100 KW
0:55
hour battery enables the EQ XX to
0:58
achieve a range of over 620 Mi on a
1:01
single charge to put this in perspective
1:04
you could drive from Los Angeles to New
1:06
York City and only need to recharge the
1:08
car four times the current leader in EV
1:12
range the Lucid air offers a per charge
1:15
distance of 517 Mi while the EQ XX
1:20
features solar panels on its roof and
1:22
back window these panels primarily
1:25
generate 12vt power for the car's
1:27
internal systems although although they
1:30
don't significantly contribute to the
1:32
car's mileage they do help conserve
1:37
energy however it's important to note
1:39
that the EQ XX is unlikely to enter
1:42
production Mercedes-Benz spent 18 months
1:45
developing this concept car with the
1:47
primary goal of inspiring future
1:50
electric Mercedes Vehicles Mercedes-Benz
1:53
has seen a significant surge in EV sales
1:55
in 2023 more than tripling its sales
1:59
from the first quarter of
2:01
2022 this growth aligns with the broader
2:04
trend of increasing electric vehicle
2:06
adoption with ev's accounting for 10% of
2:10
all new cars sales in 2022 up from 8.3%
2:16
2021 simultaneously the solar powered
2:19
industry is on the cusp of substantial
2:21
growth with projections indicating a 37%
2:24
Market expansion by 2030 the rising
2:28
popularity of EVS is a positive
2:30
development for the environment as it
2:32
accelerates the transition away from
2:34
fossil fuel powered vehicles that
2:36
contribute to air pollution moreover
2:39
increased EV adoption is likely to drive
2:41
down prices making these eco-friendly
2:44
Vehicles more accessible to a broader
2:48
consumers while the vision EQ XX may not
2:51
become a common site on the streets its
2:53
innovative technology is already finding
2:55
its way into upcoming Mercedes Vehicles
2:59
the company's current currently

developing a CLA sized EV inspired by
3:03
the Sleek concept car expected to
3:06
deliver similar battery
