The VISION EQXX was designed to be a preview of the German automaker’s ultra-efficient EV future. Throughout the road trip, the EV took advantage of its innovative thermal management system to achieve an average consumption of 8.3 kWh/100 km in the face of heavy traffic and summer temperatures.

“The journey continues – even further, even more efficient! Yet again, the VISION EQXX has proven that it can easily cover more than 1,000 km on a single battery charge, this time faced with a whole different set of real-world conditions.

“As Mercedes-Benz strives to go all-electric by 2030 wherever market conditions allow, it is important to show to the world what can be achieved in real terms through a combination of cutting-edge technology, teamwork and determination,” says Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG.

Following a trip, the VISION EQXX was taken to HPP headquarters in Brixworth for an overnight stop and full recharge in preparation for its next outing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
