Curious to see what sort of car and driving style/test that 630 km comes from as a model S already claims 637 km (not that you’ll ever get that, especially on highway). If it’s 630 km highway that would be excellent. Or if it’s 630km for the same pack size as the e-GMP platform that would be great.

It begs for details. I would love to see 630 KM in a Chevrolet Bolt.

EQS claims 780km WLTP

WLTP is always higher. EPA says EQS gets 563 km. Which is probably much closer to reality

The EQS 450+ (w/o) 4matic is claiming 780km wltp. https://insideevs.com/news/608205/mercedes-eqs-450-bjorn-range-tests/

Yes WLTP and EPA aren't the same thing.

They are very different methodologies.

I am aware. But I responded to a person quoting tesla model S Wltp range with EQS wltp range, so I really don't see the problem

If you Buy and EQS, don't expect to get WLTP numbers.

Based on real world ranges, the EPA estimates are much close to reality.

The context I replied to was another user questioning the newly developed battery tech with the argument that model S already have more range (wltp), then I responded with a model (eqs) that has an even bigger wltp range. Nothing more, I'm not buying an EQS or claiming the wltp range is correct.

Sure, but like both WLTP ranges and the range mentioned in the original article. These 'ranges' should be taken with a grain of salt.

In reality they are significantly less than WLTP numbers.

Still no cars with actual ranges over 600km

Oh nice. Even more reason to question this number then.

I'm sure it's different at highway speeds in the US, but I get wltp range no problem in the summer half of the year commuting to work. No I don't have an EQS

They have a massive battery though. 107kwh iirc. the car weighs 3 tonnes.

Ignore idiot reporters inventing mileage claims. There is NOTHING that the battery guys claimed beyond x percentage of capacity increase. Then just assume that percentage applied to whatever car.

from a scientific point of view that is just extrapolation or gibberish talk. energy density data of the new system is enough as relevant information.
