There was an interview with a guy from Mercedes/Actros truck division. He said, BEV for long haul trucks will be no problem, we just have to make the battery big enough to handle 4-5 hours, because then - legally in the EU - the driver has to have mandatory rest period which will be enough to...

I also thought that there might be niches, but where are they? 1. Shipping? Should be a hybrid solution with batteries and synthetic fuels. 2. Airplane? Would you seriously considering sitting in a plain with a leaking tank full of explosive hydrogen?

And the 19kWh, 19%, might be optimistic. This professor from my other post said, in all this H2 studies, he did not find losses occurring in H2 "gas" station.

H2 economy is insane! The efficiency "well to wheel" is horrific, so even all H2 is produced by renewable we need like 3-4 times as many renewables as we need with BEV. These renewable sources have to manufactured, maintained and replaced regularly all consumes additional energy. What are these...

Did you open it up to see how big the battery is? What range does it has???

All.

And then there is OTA!

I configured one to see what I can get for how much money. The base price of the longest range model EQS 450+ is exactly the same as my 4S. But I spent quite a bit more on options for my Porsche, then what I would for the Mercedes. Well, the only problem now is I cannot buy one over here!

Looks like:

with 120kWh and only 2150kg, that's nice!

That's why I never even considered the TS after my test drive at Hockenheimring. It was brutal and had zero use for my daily driving needs. So considering all the problems with oversized engines in cars which cannot handle it (chassis, BMS, cooling, tires, etc) Porsche doesn't see T as a...

Really? Reading all this I am not convinced that they figured out how to make a battery with a BMS that can handle their oversized electric motors.

As much as I agree, if it sells well in China, all is good in Munich! ;)

...need to pass more stringent tests than previous models, "because Tesla wants to deliver a perfect vehicle." :CWL: Meanwhile yesterday in front of me:

Exactly, just switch off all recup options and let the car roll as much as possible...

True, not quite dense enough to be super easy... You are missing something like ENBW, a large grid operator installing DC chargers... It's certainly not a sports car, but 0-100 km/h in 6.2s is also not a slouch. Time will tell and we see, if the faster model has similar efficiency and range...

Hi said in the video, that he just could not get the consumption over 16kWh/100km on highway speed. I cannot get that low with my Taycan over here... Looks I cannot judge, need to see the actual car. Gray exterior, black interior and most strange features disappear...;) Isn't the Ionity...
