I guess you will still need a class leading battery capacity to get anywhere near this, and will still be really physically challenging to squeeze 100kWh of cells into a small sedan.
- adrian_b 5y agoThere already are Tesla Model S with 100 kWh battery packs and also many other cars with such a pack, so this should be a solved problem. On the other hand, Tesla Model S consumes about double compared with what Mercedes claims for their future prototype, so there is where Mercedes hopes to improve over what already exists.
