Yesterday, in the Artipelag art museum, Mercedes-Benz celebrated the world premiere of the new, fully-electric EQC. The first Mercedes-Benz model under the product and technology brand EQ was unveiled to over 600 invited guests. As a purely battery-electrically powered vehicle, the EQC stands for an impressive combination of comfort, quality and day-to-day suitability. In visual terms the crossover SUV is the front-runner for an avantgarde electric look. Not only the protagonist itself, but also the location for the world premiere was a statement for sustainability. The Artipelag museum is surrounded by forest on the banks of Stockholm’s skerries, and embodies the link between art and nature – it is an extraordinary and apt location for the departure into a new era of mobility at Mercedes-Benz. The first Mercedes-Benz under the product and technology brand EQ combines power consumption: 22.2 kWh/100 km and CO2 emissions: 0 g/km.
The new EQC features the innovative multimedia system MBUX – Mercedes-Benz User Experience – which has numerous EQ-specific functions such as the display of range, charge status and energy flow. EQ-optimised navigation, driving modes, charging current and departure time can also be controlled and set via MBUX.
There are well over 200 operators of charging stations in public places in Europe. Mercedes me Charge also allows access to the quick-charging stations of the pan-European network IONITY. Especially over long distances, the short charging times make for a pleasant journey. By 2020 IONITY will construct and operate around 400 quick stations along the main traffic arteries in Europe. Quick home charging allows the new-generation Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, the EQC can be charged up to three times faster in the home than from a domestic power socket.
