Mercedes-Benz AG’s upcoming electric G-Class will offer latest battery technology to bolster the distance the off-road icon can drive on one charge.
Mercedes will incorporate materials developed by California’s Sila Nanotechnolgies Inc. as an option for a range-extended version of the vehicle from around 2025, it said Tuesday. Sila makes a silicon anode material that goes into battery cells, boosting the amount of energy they can store.
