M-B Vision EQXX : Travel 628 miles on one charge

Featured Replies

There have been rumours of a Mercedes EV which can travel up to 1200km on one charge. I thought it could have been the EQS but obviously not. I'm sure the EQXX will cost an arm and a leg, maybe its a Maybach EQM?

Hydrogen is still the future fuel though, electric is just a stepping stone and wont be around for very long until Hydrogen becomes more reasonably priced and more mainstream.

Not sure where you got that idea. Not true. Electric cars are way ahead, miles in the lead technologically and battery development is at a phenomenal pace. For large vehicles like lorries, maybe, and for shipping yes, but not for cars. The huge amount of infrastructure that would be required to supply hydrogen just doesn't add up. Its volatile, has to be kept at low temperature and as Wing Z alluded to, basic physics stands in its way.  In addition, 95% of hydrogen is manufactured from fossil fuels. 

It does seem fairly certain that unless the fuel of the future is found and at once, there will not be a future.
Of course the other alternative is a complete change in lifestyle, where energy consumption is not the
leading result.
Somehow we managed to survive on this planet until the industrial revolution without destroying
our own environment but we have most certainly made up for it since then, and now we are accelerating
towards certain catastrophe, apparently without a politically acceptable care in the world.
The other prime cause, not very often debated in public, is that there are far too many of us.
The solution to that is even less likely to be looked for, let alone found and it seems that mother nature will
need to cull us, just as we arrogantly cull other animals when it suits us to do so.

I'd like to discuss the other prime cause but its not allowed on the forum. As for overpopulation, true, but world population is actually declining.
