The first blessings of the new investment on the battery side will be used for the Mercedes EQG, which is approaching the dynamics of mass production step by step.
One of the legends that was kneaded with the dough of the future during the electrification process will be the Mercedes G-Class. We are approaching the mass production process step by step for the project, which was introduced as a concept through the “EQG” project in 2021. New frontiers will be discovered on the engineering side for the Mercedes EQG, which is expected to reach the end user with the technical qualifications and move to production by 2025. The model, which will be carried into production with the protection of the legendary genes, is waiting for us with first-class personnel in order to support the talents in the field with electrical infrastructure. In the new information about the model, it is noteworthy that a first-class component will be included in the battery in order to meet the expectation on the range side.

Mercedes EQG will be the test bed of new technology
America-based company “Sila”, which Mercedes invested in an important cooperation in 2019, will be the name behind the chemical component in EQG’s battery. The model, which will be the first to be developed with a battery to be developed with a combination launched as “Titan Silicon”, will have few advantages in parallel. Thanks to the silicon-based anode component, 10 times better energy capacity than the graphite base can be achieved at this stage. Parallel to this, there is an improvement of up to 40 percent in energy density.

If everything goes as planned, it will be possible to achieve a 20 percent better range at the same capacity in batteries with “Titan Silicon” material compared to today’s structures. In battery charging, it will be possible to reach from 10 percent to 80 percent in less than 20 minutes at lower charging speeds. The new base chemical component could bring advantages not only on the range and charge, but also on the weight side. According to the brand, up to 15 percent lightness can be achieved in the overall weight of the vehicle. The total area occupied by the battery cells will also be reduced by 20 percent. Sila emphasizes that the production process of the silicon-based structure also brings up to 75 percent more carbon emissions than graphite. EQG will be the first to use the new architecture, which is expected to be ready for commercial use by the second half of 2024. This means that we can conduct the first experiments on how the technical qualities are reflected on the streets with the electric G-Class.
