EXCLUSIVE: The new Mercedes-Benz EQG will pioneer long-range battery tech, becoming the first Mercedes to feature new energy-dense battery cells 👀⚡
The new battery has been developed in partnership with US company Sila Nanotechnologies. It features a silicon anode that, in combination with other chemical changes in the cells, is said to contribute to a 20-40% increase in energy density at more than 800Wh/l at cell level compared with the batteries used in the existing line-up of EQ models, which feature more commonly used graphite anodes.
Mercedes-Benz says the new cell chemistry allows it to store “more electric energy in any given space than is the case now”. This will allow it to increase the range of future models without resorting to larger-capacity batteries. The prototype battery used by the EQXX is said to have a capacity of 100kWh, compared with the 90kWh and 107.8kWh batteries currently available forThe basis for the EQG is a modified version of the existing
’s ladder-frame chassis, which has been comprehensively reworked to support the extra weight of the battery., is set to be powered by a quartet of electric motors – two at the front and two integrated into the rear axle assembly, and each with its own fixed-ratio gearbox.
