The Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept car has driven the longest electric vehicle or EV distance ever on a single charge.
The German luxury automaker said that its electric concept car has successfully traveled more than 1,000 kilometers or 621 miles running its battery for a single charge.

Mercedes-Benz EQXX Concept: 1,000 KM on One Charge
As per a news story by The Verge, the Mercedes Vision EQXX traveled the long roads of several locations in Europe, such as Italy, Switzerland, Cassis, and Germany.
The luxury carmaker did not give specifics, but it claimed that its new electric concept vehicle has been driven for "over" 1,000 km or roughly around 621 miles without needing to top up its battery along the way.
It is worth noting that Mercedes went on to disclose that the Vision EQXX still had about a 15% of battery charge level when it arrived at its destination. With that in mind, the EV could still run for about 140km or 87 miles if it needs to go further.
That's still the case considering that Mercedes also revealed that the EQXX has been on the road for 11 hours and 32 minutes without any complete stops, according to a recent report by InsiderEVs.
The German carmaker also shared that the concept car averages an epic consumption performance of 8.7 kWh per 100 km or 7.1 kWh per 62 miles during its more than 1,000 km trip.
