Mercedes-Benz’s all-electric G is here, with four motors, plenty of torque and a complicated name. In what could be the start of Mercedes moving away from their EQ branding, they have decided not to call the electric G-Class the EQG. Instead, they opted for an awkward in the middle naming convention of Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology. Very catchy.
In the transition to using electrons for propulsion, Mercedes have fitted a total of four electric motors to the G580 which all combine to generate 579 hp and 859 lb-ft. That’s a lot of torque, torque which should come in very handy considering the hefty 7,716 lbs of weight this G wagon is lugging around.
