The AMG EQE53 raises the power level from the two electric motors to 617 horsepower and 701 pound-feet, and the addition of the optional Dynamic Plus package brings total power to a lofty 677 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph take a claimed 3.4 seconds in the standard car and 3.2 seconds with the package, and top speed is governed at either 137 or 149 mph. The torque routes through a single-speed transmission. A lower-powered AMG EQE43 model will be offered in Europe but not in the U.S.
It has a grill (or a picture of one) on the front.
It's electric.
That, alone, is enough to make me not buy it (among, of course, other reasons).

We will all drive electric cars in 20 years. But not yet.

@mik I have zero problem with electric.
I have many problems with the lack of (convenient) infrastructure. Until charging becomes available to people who live in apartments and other places where a dedicated charging solution is not available, it'll never fly.
Unless you can make it as quick as filling 'er up.
That may happen and I hope so.
And of course, I have a problem with the displacement of outrage from "you're burning dead dinosaurs" to "you're strip-mining the Earth for lithium."
Or, of course, "you're burning dead dinosaurs to make electricity."
Other than that, it's fine.

Not me. The closer you get to driving an electric car, the closer I get to buying a 1978 Plymouth Fury.

One of the great thing about Mercedes is that they always look like a Mercedes.
That doesn't. It's got the ubiquitous, boring style that pretty much all cars have.
