According to a report by Reuters<\/em>, Mercedes-Benz\u2019s newest electric vehicle (EV) platform known as MMA (Mercedes-Benz Modular Architecture), which will launch with the next-generation CLA late next year, will offer 30% to 35% more driving range per kWh compared to the brand\u2019s current EVs.<\/p>\n

The new CLA is expected to go on sale in early 2025 and will be offered with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which is a first for any Mercedes-Benz EV, said Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kaellenius in an interview with the news outlet.<\/p>\n

The use of LFP batteries will allow the German carmaker to offer a lower-priced model in a competitive segment that is currently dominated by Tesla. Many Chinese EV brands also use LFP batteries in their models to keep pricing attractive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Efficiency is really the new currency when we go into electric vehicles,” said Kaellenius, who added that the new CLA has a targeted energy consumption of 12 kWh per 100 km and 750 km. The former is an improvement over the 17-18 kWh per 100 km with the current EQA350. At these levels of efficiency, the fully electric CLA\u2019s energy consumption should be the electric equivalent to a car that consumes one litre of petrol per 100 km, Kaellenius explained.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the challenge facing EV makers is extracting the most range from smaller and more affordable battery packs. Batteries are the most expensive component of an EV, so designing a vehicle with the most efficiency is crucial, especially when driving range is a critical point of contention for EV buyers.<\/p>\n

With the Vision EQXX, Mercedes-Benz has demonstrated its efficiency prowess when there are no limitations, as the prototype vehicle consumes as little as 8.3 kWh per 100 km. With a battery capacity of 100 kWh, the driving range is over 1,000 km.<\/p>\n
