Mercedes-Benz EQS, Solid-state battery

Mercedes EQS Solid State Prototype Hits The Street With 621 Miles Of Range
In the case of the EQS, the battery allows for a range of up to 621 miles (1,000 km), which is 25% more than a lithium-ion battery of the same size and weight. In particular, a regular EQS 450+ with a 118 kWh battery pack has a range in excess of 497 miles (800 km) under the worldwide harmonized light vehicles test procedure.
