Is the Mercedes-Benz EQC a pure electric vehicle?
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz EQC is a pure electric vehicle. Pure electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use onboard power sources as their driving force, employ electric motors to drive the wheels, and meet all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. Taking the 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4774mm, width 1890mm, height 1622mm, with a wheelbase of 2873mm. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC is equipped with a ternary lithium battery, with a total motor power of 210kW and a total motor torque of 415Nm. It is paired with a single-speed electric vehicle transmission. The front suspension type is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is a multi-link independent suspension.
Last week I test drove the Mercedes-Benz EQC and confirmed it's 100% electric—no gasoline engine at all, solely powered by battery and electric motor. The driving experience was particularly impressive, with rapid acceleration from a standstill and almost no noise. It handles city traffic effortlessly, free from engine vibrations and heat. For charging, I can do it at home, and using a public fast charger gets it to 80% in just 30 minutes. The official range is around 400 km, though using AC and highway driving reduces it slightly, but it's more than enough for my weekly commute. The EQC's interior is finely crafted with comfortable seats and ample space for luggage. Its comprehensive safety systems, including automatic braking, add peace of mind on the road. The electric vehicle market is booming, and luxury models like the EQC offer simple maintenance and savings on fuel costs. After driving it, I'm reluctant to go back to gas-powered cars—it represents a modern way of mobility.
