Okay, let's get this out of the way: '2025 G580 with EQ Technology' is a terrible name. But Mercedes is ditching its EQ branding convention and bringing back the old letter-plus-a-number scheme that everyone understands, so that's the moniker affixed to the new electric G-wagen. Luckily, Benz had the foresight to bestow the electric G with an alphanumeric that lends itself to shorthand—since there is no gas-powered G580, we can simply use that succinct handle for the EV.
But by deploying a 2:1 gear for rock crawling, Mercedes was able to use smaller motors, with the mechanical advantage helping minimize heat buildup during off-road workouts. You can switch between low range and high range on the move—while coasting in neutral—which is a neat trick, and the neutral mode allows flat-towing a G580, if you're looking for a luxe runabout to lash behind your Prevost.
