Mercedes-Benz EQS580 Battery & Performance
The EQS580 is powered by a large 107.8 kWh battery pack that powers two electric motors, one on each axle. Power output stands at 523 horsepower and a whopping 855 Nm of torque. The EQS has ARAI range of 857 kms, so range anxiety is something will not be on your mind. In real world, a range of 650 kms would be easily achievable. That translates to a Mumbai Goa drive on a single charge. Press that Start button and with READY on the display, you are good to go. The EQS is smooth off the line and driving with a light foot is fairly easy. As you drive on, you kind of forget that you are driving an EV, a reason being even petrol cars today have become super refined. Things change when you hit the accelerator hard. The 855 Nm hits you like bullet and you get pushed back into the seat in a violent manner. 0 to 100 kph comes up in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 210 kmph. There are 4 drive modes to choose from: Eco, Comfort, Sport & Individual. As expected throttle and suspension responses change according to the model selected. Another cool part is that you can choose between two sounds when in Sport mode. You can opt for either Silver Waves or Vivid Flux. The chosen sound plays through the speakers when you accelerate giving you a very sci-fi feeling of a space ship taking off.
