On January 4, 2021, the Mercedes EQXX concept car was officially released.
In terms of appearance, the EQXX concept car uses a paint color called Alubeam Silver. The lines flow like water droplets from the roof to the tail, and the retractable rear diffuser blends into the body when closed, giving it both a sense of technology and elegance.
As for the interior, environmental protection is the main theme of the EQXX concept car. The door handles are made of biodegradable pure silk from plants, the seats are made from cactus materials and mycelial bodies, and the car carpet is made from 100% bamboo fiber.
The EQXX concept car can run over 1,000 kilometers on a single charge under Mercedes’ simulation calculations. To achieve this range, the EQXX has put a lot of effort into reducing wind resistance, lightweight design, and power efficiency.
The EQXX has a drag coefficient of only 0.17, with a distinct long tail and long diffuser design on the body, allowing air to flow smoothly past the car’s tail. In terms of wheels, the EQXX uses fully enclosed low-drag wheels to reduce turbulence at the wheel arches and minimize airflow disturbance on the car’s side, while the hub material is made of magnesium alloy to reduce rotational inertia and achieve a better lightweight design.
The EQXX uses a 900 V electric platform and a 150 kW motor on the rear axle. The entire system has been optimized for energy efficiency, and the efficiency of electric energy transmission to the wheels can reach 95%.
For the most critical power battery, the EQXX uses a new formula for high-energy density batteries with a volumetric energy density of about 400 Wh/L and a capacity of nearly 100 kWh. Compared with the EQS’s battery pack, the volume has been reduced by 50% and the weight reduced by 30%.
In addition, the EQXX has a solar panel on the roof that can provide an additional range of 25 kilometers.The final measure can enable EQXX to achieve low energy consumption of 10 kWh/100 km and achieve a range of over 1,000 km with energy-saving as its core.
