The E-Cell Plus was originally presented at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show together with the E-Cell and F-Cell models, which displayed different powertrain configurations.
The near-series Mercedes-Benz Concept BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS electric car combines pure electric mobility in the city with an extended range for long-distance driving.
This is made possible by the combination of the battery-electric drive with a combustion engine. The range extender gives the BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS a total range of up to 600 kilometres, with 100 kilometres thereof solely under electric power and thus free of local emissions.
The concept vehicle can be recharged simply and conveniently at a common household outlet. With a charging capacity of 20 kW, the Concept BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS can be recharged within around half an hour for a 50 kilometre range.
The liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries used as an energy source have an energy content of up to 17.50 kWh.
