All of this may soon be possible as Mercedes ups its EV game and has bragged that its EQS electric sedan will offer a range of more than 700 kilometres on a single charge.

In a recent shareholders' meeting held online due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Daimler top boss Ola Källenius raved about the EQS and how the car will redefine the EV space and offer a complete solution to all range-related anxieties. He confirmed that the production version of the e-sedan will have a range in excess of 700 kilometres and will be developed from ground-up as an EV and won't be a transformation from conventional engines to battery power.

The claimed range could catapult Mercedes EQS among EVs with the biggest range - a title currently held by Tesla Model S Long Range Plus which has a certified range of around 647 kilometres. This is confirmed by US' EPA which recently re-did the range test on the car.

As the battle for longer range hots up, many auto giants are either developing in-house or collaborating for batteries that not only last several years but can also minimize the frequency of a recharge.

The production version of Mercedes EQS, of course, will be tested for range before it can truly be given the crown of having the longest range per charge. With a futuristic design philosophy and the promise of an opulent and tech-loaded cabin, the sedan is hardly going to be affordable but does promise to bring a whloe lot more to the road when it officially hits production phase.
