Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX sets EV range world record to reach Silverstone

Mercedes-Benz’s Vision EQXX has set a new electric vehicle (EV) range world record after travelling 746 miles on a single charge.

The German premium car brand’s zero-emissions concept car travelled the distance in real-world driving conditions on a journey that took it from Stuttgart, Germany, to the UK's Silverstone Race Circuit – where it was welcomed by the Formula 1 and Formula E experts who helped develop it.

The feat ensured that the lightweight and aerodynamic two door coupe surpassed its own 620 miles, which was set in April.
