Soos reeds op 17 Desember 2024 hierna berig is oor dié topklas voertuig, is hier nou meer inligting beskikbaar, asook terugvoering oor plaaslike toetsritte afgelê.
All-electric Mercedes Benz G580 - Eerste plasing.
Baie interessante aspekte rondom die herlaai van die vuurwa met 'n geweldige groot EV battery, is ook beskikbaar gemaak na een van hierdie toetsritte.
One of the key objectives of the evaluation was to assess the vehicle’s DC charging speed to determine its real-world performance.
To put the EQG’s charging capabilities to the test, we visited the Zero Carbon Charge station (now known as Charge.co.za) near Wolmaransstad on the N12 past Klerksdorp.
The authentication process at Charge’s station was seamless. With the Charge app pre-installed (available on Android and iOS) and a payment method linked, all it took was scanning the QR code on the charger to initiate the session. Within 30 seconds, the EQG reached the 200kW mark and maintained this speed for two minutes before stabilising between 180kW and 200kW for the next 15 minutes. By then, the battery had reached 60% charge, with 53kWh (approximately 180km of range) transferred.
For everyday commuting, the EQG could be even more cost-effective. With an 80% urban and 20% road-trip driving split, and the ability to charge at AC slow chargers in malls, office parks or even for free using home solar power, the EQG could be a viable and economical daily driver at a fraction of the cost of its petrol sibling.
Só, nou weet ons ook sommer ons plaaslike herlaai fasiliteite in afgeleë areas, lewer puik resultate.
Dit maak dat EV's dus met gemak al meer en meer dwarsoor Suid Afrika gebruik sal kan word.
