At Pebble Beach today for the Monterey Car Week and 2016 Pebble Beach Concours D?Elégance this weekend, Mercedes unveiled a new all-electric luxury-class coupé concept: the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6.
While Mercedes is about to unveil its plans for a series of new electric vehicles potentially under a new brand, it doesn?t look like the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 will be in those plans, but it?s instead a concept to feature future designs and technologies that could potentially make it to Mercedes production cars in the coming years.
And it bodes well for some features important to electric vehicles?

The all-electric vehicle is powered by a 80 kWh battery pack, which Mercedes says could achieve an NEDC-rated range of 310 miles (500 km) or over 200 real-world miles, and ?four compact permanent magnet synchronous electric motors?. The automaker says it can accelerate from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds and achieve a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
The most interesting part is the vehicle?s charging capacity. Mercedes says that they could push DC charging based on the CCS standard to its limit of 350 kW, which could add over 60 miles of range for every 5 minutes of charging.
Again, while we can hope to see some of these features in Mercedes? upcoming series of electric vehicles, this Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept is described as a ?visionary design show car? and it shouldn?t be expected to make it to production.
