Can't wait for the Range Rover Electric? Mercedes throws down the gauntlet with 'uncompromising' G 580It is a truth universally acknowledged that some types of cars are more difficult to convert to electric than others. Lightweight sports cars, for example. But SUVs, tall and comparatively heavy since day one, have proven ideal for the concealment of giant batteries.
If that doesn’t sound like a terrifically large amount then obviously you need to bear in mind that a) the G-Class is roughly equivalent of to a garden shed, aerodynamically speaking, and b) it tips the EC scales at 3,085kg. Which is substantial even for a large electric SUV. As you might expect, this will not prevent it from seeming spirited in a straight line: Mercedes says 62mph in 4.7 seconds is achievable, although that is 0.
Thirdly, it has equipped the G 580 with something called G-Turn, which will allow drivers to spin the car around ‘almost on the spot’. It is capable of this feat because each of the four driven wheels can rotate to the left or right as required, which means that both wheels on one side can be made to go in the opposite direction of those on the other. Like a tank.
