In September of last year, the German luxury manufacturer Mercedes Benz unveiled the EQS, its top-of-the-line electric sedan. Ever since then, the model has remained as the most expensive yet efficient electric vehicles in India. Although the model has a starting price of Rs. 1.55 crore, some individuals in the nation have not been deterred by this price.

The new EQS 580 4MATIC sedan comes equipped as standard with a massive 107.8 kWh battery cell. The EQS EV sedan has the largest battery pack presently offered in any electric vehicle in the nation. The EQS has one of the best EV ranges in India thanks to this sizable battery capacity. The EQS, according to the manufacturer, has an 857-kilometer driving range and can be topped off and refilled for another 300 kilometres in just 15 minutes after it runs out of fuel.
Mercedes-Benz worked to make the sedan’s architecture as efficient as possible. It is extremely streamlined and has a very low drag coefficient. The lowest value of any production car in the world, cd- 0.2, translates into better driving range efficiency.
