EVs have a very large presence at this year's CES in Las Vegas While automakers are showing off new models and technologies, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled an all-new concept car

Apparently, the Mercedes Vision EQXX can travel a whopping 620 miles without stopping to recharge This figure dwarfs the Tesla Model S and the 520-mile Lucid Air Dream

This is enough distance to run from Paris to Berlin or from New York to Cincinnati, Ohio It is also enough to travel the entire length of the United Kingdom (about 600 miles) if the car can travel in a straight line

Since this is a concept, unfortunately this car does not exist in the real world However, Mercedes claims that according to their simulations, the car would need 10 kWh of electricity to travel 100 km (62 miles), which is equivalent to the consumption of one liter (026 gallons) of fossil fuel

The EQXX also has solar panels on its roof, which are claimed to add up to 15 miles of range on long trips For now, however, Mercedes is only promising that solar power will not be added to the main power pack, but will instead power secondary functions such as air conditioning and the infotainment system from a separate battery

Still, things like heaters and air conditioning require a lot of power, so minimizing the impact on the main battery will increase range

The Vision EQXX is powered by the same 100 kWh battery as the Mercedes EQS, but promises to be half the size and 30% lighter than Mercedes' current flagship EV Lighter weight means less power needed to move around, and smaller size means more room for other things

The car itself weighs only 3,858 pounds and is optimized for maximum aerodynamic performance Mercedes claims that the EQXX is more aerodynamic than a soccer ball, with a drag coefficient of 017 A soccer ball is typically around 020

For comparison, the EQS and Lucid Air Dream Edition have a drag coefficient of 020 The Tesla Model S Plaid, which Tesla claims is "the least aerodynamic car on the planet," is 0208

Of course, it wouldn't be a Mercedes without a luxurious in-car experience That's why the EQXX has a 475-inch mini-LED screen with 8K resolution that fills the entire width of the cabin, just like the EQS's hyper-screen, and the EQS's HyperScreen, which is a "high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution, high resolution However, this is one continuous display, not three separate panels

It also has "Hey, Mercedes" voice control, and the interior is made of vegan mushroom leather, which Mercedes claims can be grown with 100% renewable energy

This is clearly a concept design, meaning that the EQXX will not be hitting the road anytime soon We also cannot speculate on the price, although it is definitely in the higher price range of the premium EV market After all, the EQS starts at $102,310 and does not offer as much

Whether or not the EQXX goes into mass production, the features it offers could be included in future Mercedes EVs

In fact, Mercedes claims that some of its features have already been integrated into production This is because range remains more important than all the other frivolous luxuries that electric vehicles offer
