Thoughts on Mercedes' electric vehicle line (the EQ)?

[Anonymous]

Just found out yesterday Mercedes is finally entering the electric vehicle market, with their EQ line.

I'm especially interested in the EQC, which starts at $69K. It's modeled after the GLC obviously, which is a great car. The interior looks gorgeous.

I applaud competition but would want to wait and see some test results.

We're watching this too and preparing to buy one in a year or two. DH says they are already on the road in Europe.

Apparently the test results are quite good.

I commute in such a way that I can't take public transportation, so I've been looking at an electric car as the better option for the environment. I love Mercedes and would definitely buy one once they come on the market here.

keep in mind the the fuel you buy for a car is only part of the environmental impact. take a look at how they mine the materials for the batteries in electric cars. there is no magic transportation bullet.
