The company is aimed to produce fully **electric-based cars** with the best design in the world. **Highlights** \ ``` 62 miles of electric drive consume as little as 10 KW energy Single charge started from Sindelfingen, Germany to Cote d’Azur on its first drive Car making companies Mercedes Benz and Tesla are in neck to neck race for the best cars ``` **Also Read: [Apple's Electric Car Plans May Face Two Major Suppliers Compete in the EV Business.](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1477/apple-s-electric-car-plans-may-face-two-major-suppliers-compete-in-the-ev-business)** A giant car-making company Mercedes has completed the first drive of 1000 Km in its [electric vehicle](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2275/starting-price-for-the-mercedes-benz-eqe-electric-vehicle-is-76-050). The drive started from Sindelfingen in Germany to the Cote d’Azur on a single charge. Speaking to the carmaker, **CTO Markus Schaefer** told efficient design was key to maximizing an electric car’s range. The **Chief Technology Officer** (CTO) said on Thursday that Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE) is objected to producing [electric cars](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85538/explore-top-10-electric-cars-in-usa-market) which will consume as little as 10-kilowatt hours of energy per 100 Km. He further said “First we optimise efficiency, and then we can see how many battery modules we put in the car,” Schaefer said in a media roundtable that people should also have the option to choose the battery size and different availability of electric supply based on their needs. Nowadays many car-[making companies](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/40051/is-geopolitics-making-companies-more-greedy-is-the-race-to-be-ahead-of-china-driving-income-inequality) are tending toward [green energy](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81323/adani-green-energy-group-bags-world-s-biggest-solar-bid) because these days pollution became the biggest enemy for the [environment](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/308/need-to-create-a-supportive-work-environment-for-women) and bioenergy will prove the best option for the [automobile sector](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/audio/1009/ratan-tata-revealed-its-life-journey-in-automobile-sector). Carmakers from **Mercedes-Benz (MBGn.DE**) to Tesla (TSLA.O) to China’s Nio are in a neck-to-neck race to produce the best range of cars that dispel consumer anxiety over the lack of widespread [charging infrastructure](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96049/which-organization-has-released-the-handbook-for-electric-vehicle-charging-infrastructure-implementation) for [electric vehicles](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/3601/xiaomi-unveiled-first-electric-vehicles). Schaefer further said “There’ll be a further increase for some time before a fall. Which will happen once charging infrastructure is as available as petrol stations,” he said. After telling me about this, he declined some of the comments like what range Mercedes was targeting in future models. **Also Read: [Surge in Electric, Hybrid Vehicles as India Sees shift in Mobility: Deloitte Consumer Study Says](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1387/surge-in-electric-hybrid-vehicles-as-india-sees-shift-in-mobility-deloitte-consumer-study-says)** --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/1562/mercedes-benz-s-electric-drive-of-1000-km-completed-on-energy-efficient-design Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
