Who makes EQC batteries?

The EQ line represents a major investment. The batteries the EQC uses are manufactured by a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz's parent company, Daimler AG, that will create the power packs for all-electric Mercedes-Benz models. More Mercedes electric cars are certain to follow the EQC's lead.

What does EQC stand for?

In other markets, it kicks off Mercedes' new electrified EQ sub-brand (or "Electric Intelligence," because you can't spell "intelligence" without "Q"). A small SUV that's about the same size as the current GLC, the EQC delivers 402 total horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels.

How much power does an EQC have?

The EQC would have paired two electric motors with a lithium-ion battery. A one-speed direct-drive transmission was used to power to all four wheels. This powertrain would have provided a total output of 402 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque.
