It was at the 2016 Paris Motor Show that Mercedes‑Benz first presented its new product and technology brand for electromobility. In mid-2019 the time has now come: the EQC (combined power consumption: 22.2 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km) is the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be launched under the EQ brand. There are two electric motors at the front and rear axles with a combined output of 300 kW. What is described as a sophisticated operating strategy enables an electric range of more than 450 km (about 280 miles) according to NEDC (provisional figure).
