The Mercedes-Benz G-wagen retains its square shape and strong proportions even as an EV. With four motors and a 116.0-kWh battery, the G580 with EQ Technology has an estimated 240 miles of range, and it launches as a $180,000 Edition One model. It may never see a dirt road, but the electric G-class has serious off-road capability, including two-speed, low-range gearing for the motors.
Off-Roading with the EVMost important for the G-class's reputation, if not its actual usage, the EQ G-class still offers off-road capability. The torquey motors deliver all the grunt you could need with the hit of the accelerator for steep hills and sandy washes, and using the selectable low-range gearing–an EV first—unlocks the G-steering function which makes the G-wagen rotate around its own axis. It also offers an off-road crawl function, a fording depth of 33.
