Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX
Stuttgart to the Silverstone racetrack in the UK and breaking its own range record by traveling 747 miles in total on a single charge.
Beyond just being longer in distance, this trip to England had a lot more challenges than the EQXX's drive to France. While the earlier record was set in springtime weather that ranged from 37 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, temperatures reached 86F on the way to Silverstone. In total the EQXX drove for 14 hours and 30 minutes, with the air conditioning running for 8 of those hours. The EQXX has a multisource heat pump that helps keep the interior cool with a minimal effect on range, and its compact electric motor is efficient enough that it doesn't generate much heat, so the thermal management system can be lighter and smaller. Cooling is partly accomplished through the car's aerodynamics, including active shutters and a cooling plate in the underfloor.
Now thats more like it, this new battery tech is looking promising
