"Besides the slippery shape and relatively trim weight [of 3900 lbs], the car's claimed powertrain efficiency of 95 percent (up from 90-or-so percent for Benz's EQS production sedan) also contributes to its impressive range" of 747 miles on single charge.

"At the end of the day, our overall energy consumption - in air-conditioned comfort - worked out to the equivalent of 262 mpg in a gas car." There are no plans for production.
