Mercedes G-Class, the electric off-road vehicle will arrive by the end of 2024

Mercedesas we know, he is also working on the electric version of the G-Class whose contents were anticipated by the Mercedes EQG, a concept that we had the opportunity to see closely at the Munich Motor Show 2021. Apparently, development is going on so much that Ola Källeniusnumber one of the German brand, said that the electric G-Class will be launched on the market between mid to late 2024.

Källenius also claimed that he drove a prototype of the electric off-road vehicle inside the test facility they have in Graz, Austria and had a lot of fun driving it.

Driving impressions aside, it is interesting to confirm that the electric G-Class will arrive by the end of 2024. This means that over the next year, new details and spy photos of the forklifts intent on carrying out the classic road tests will most likely arrive.

The concept shown at the 2021 Munich Motor Show featured lines very similar to those of the endothermic G-Class. Therefore, it is likely that Mercedes continues to maintain the classic design of its off-road vehicle in the battery model as well. On the powertrain of the EQG concept it was only said that it was composed of 4 electric motors, one per wheel. This is an optimal solution for an electric off-road vehicle.

There were also the reduced that could be activated via a 2-speed selector. Nothing had been said about power and performance. The concept chassis was longitudinal and cross members, with independent suspension on the front axle and a rigid axle on the rear.

Very interesting information on the future electric Mercedes G-Class arrived during the month of May 2022. In fact, the German manufacturer had announced that it had signed an agreement with Sila Nanotechnologies, a company that deals with the development of the chemistry of battery cells. According to what has been told, some versions of the electric off-road vehicle may be equipped with batteries with silicon anode cells that will offer greater energy density and, therefore, better autonomy.

All that remains is to wait for further news on the development of this new electric model from the German manufacturer.
