Scheduled for market launch in 2024, the promising Mercedes-Benz EQG electric SUV will be equipped with advanced batteries that will provide 20% more range and faster recharge compared to existing counterparts today, according to Electrek. Recall that the EQG is a Gelendvagen with a purely electric power plant.
Lithium-ion batteries for the Mercedes-Benz EQG will be equipped with anodes made from a silicon-based material that can absorb significantly more lithium ions than graphite, which is now used to make anodes in commercially produced batteries. In any case, this is stated in the company that developed the technology, the North American startup Sila Nanotechnologies.
The synthesized anode material was given the market name Titan Silicon.
For electric vehicles, the manufacturer promises a 20% increase in capacity, that is, any lithium battery produced today simply by replacing a graphite anode with a Titan Silicon anode will receive a 1/5 increased capacity.
The Mercedes-Benz EQG electric car will have a chassis and body from the regular Mercedes-Benz G-Class and will be released simultaneously with its updated version. Mercedes-Benz EQG will be equipped with four electric motors - one per wheel.
Externally, the electric Mercedes-Benz EQG will differ from just the G-class by a light panel with additional DRL light elements in the form of the company's trademark, a square cover of the suspended “reserve” on the fifth door, 22-inch wheels with reduced turbulence and a characteristic “no gaps” appearance.
