A historic moment in the world of electric cars

' display that spans the entire cockpit... surely this is entirely overkill when the goal is to make the EQXX go as long as possible on a single battery charge?So why do it this way? Why make a car that feels ready to hit the road when a concept like this could have gone so much further and posted an even more headline-worthy distance… maybe even beating"We could have done things like use analogue dials [in place of the Hyperscreen], but that would be cheating" shrugs Sievers.

We crawl out of the Mercedes stand, and people start looking. I assume that it’s the stylings of the silver car that’s causing the gawping, but that doesn’t make a huge amount of sense given I’m at a festival that has literally hundreds of iconic, weird and classic cars from all eras. A few things leap out at me: you can see where the design and engineering teams butted heads on this car. For instance, the central console has drinks holders barely big enough for a thin can of drink, but smoothed so elegantly into the interior that it's clearly a design choice.

That would have been folly for this car, where every component had to be designed without superfluous weight, which is why a mini-LED system was used, as it's lightweight but still creates the rich, colorful and deep graphics on the screen.
