Mercedes-Benz USA announced new subscription for faster acceleration of EVs
Mercedes owners who subscribe to Acceleration Increase will have access to their vehicle's full performance. Mercedes claims that subscribers to Acceleration Increase will noticeably improve the acceleration of their Mercedes vehicles, particularly the amount of time saved between 0.8 and 1.0 seconds (from 0 to 60 MPH).
The motor's characteristic curve, torque, and maximum output can also be changed with Acceleration Increase option. The maximum motor output (kW) of owners' Mercedes-EQ vehicles can be increased by up to 24% by fine-tuning the electric motors. The subscription also increases the torque, allowing your vehicle to accelerate noticeably faster and with greater force.
The new subscription will be available for purchase for four Mercedes-Benz models. For example, it will be possible to increase the output power of the EQE 350 4Matic from 215 kW to 260 kW. Thus, the electric car will be able to reach 60 MPH in 5.1 seconds instead of 6 seconds.
