Behind the EQA index lies an electric version of the new generation GLA model, and the cars seem to have the same body and differ only in design.

As seen in the pictures released by Daimler, the prototypes of this electric model are currently traveling on the snow-covered roads of Sweden.In winter tests, engineers devote special attention to thethermal management of the battery and the cabin, as well as to cold charging. In particular, the traction battery is closely monitored: before starting mass production, companies want to make sure that it remains working even in severe frosts. Testers also check how quickly the interior warms up and how much time it takes to charge the car with everyday use in the winter.
