Ultra Luxury With Zero Emissions

The Maybach EQS's electric powertrain is standard with all wheel drive.  The driving range on a charge is 370 miles and this ultra-luxury EV is expected to have superior acceleration and power.  The cabin of the vehicle is very high tech with impressive displays and also luxurious with faux-fur carpets.  The exterior is sleek and stylish with flashy 24" wheels.  It is expected to go into production in 2023.

Mercedes' 5 New EVs

Mercedes premiered five new electric vehicles at the IAA Mobility 2021.  Besides the 2023 Maybach EQS, there is a new electric G class concept, the EQC.  There is also a new compact crossover, the 2023 EQB.  Also unveiled are a production-ready electric E class sedan, the 2023 EQE and the 2023 Mercedes-AMG EQS.  

Zero Emissions Plans

All of the major German-based automakers are intensifying their electrification agendas. For Mercedes Benz by 2025, all newly launched vehicle architecture will be battery electric.  For VW, 70% of its European sales will be zero emissions by 2030.  And, BMW expects a 50% reduction of its vehicles' CO2 emissions by 2030.  Clearly, European automakers are accelerating their commitment to the production of zero emissions, electric vehicles.
