We know that other manufacturers have raised the bar up to 800-volt electrical systems, but the EQXX experiments with a 900-volt system that runs and works.

This is not going to translate into a production model, for the record, but is indicative of what you can expect out of the brand in the post-2024 debuts.

My criticism of this particular car is that the lighting designs (and lighting designs only) remind me of the Kia EV6.

car is about efficiency. if it's light and with that aero, it could still be very quick.

besides this isn't a production vehicle.

Dropping it like it's hot. This is a precision 180 turn after the EQS. Positively gorgeous.

~100kwh and ~900vdc can enable a lot of performance options, so I wouldn't worry about all-out performance that much regardless. Not that every EV out there needs to be faster than F1 cars to be enjoyable :P

I wonder if going forward, the design of EV vehicles will focus more on efficiency instead of 0-60 times.
I think most of the buying public would prioritize vehicle range over launch times for their real world EV purchasing decision making process.

Yes. I am aware of that as well. That does look better than the EQS

Front and back look like they are plucked from completely different design studios.
