They are way better cars and ... moreEVs are short-term show-off products that end in the trashyard after a few years because their battery degrades and nobody wants to risk buying a second-hand car with a battery that could die in a matter of months. Moreover, the batteries' disposal is difficult since it contains toxic elements that can harm the environment.

Whereas normal cars remain vintage cars for decades to come and their life-cycle is infinite as long as spare parts are available. Much more sustainable in my opinion.

In 5 years, yes. You know what's gonna happen after that? Battery will degrade by a noticeable amount and you better have a 10 year warranty at least. If you bought a new car that is, imagine how expensive and wasteful it's going to be when selling used electric cars in 10, 15, 20 years.

EV with a gearbox?

They are way better cars and there are plenty of affordable options. Also a 40k ev will be cheaper to own in a 5 year period than a 30k ICE. Or just keep your mind closed and let the evolution leave you behind

here is simple thoughts ... why forcing electric while ice still much cheaper ??? and advertises in the name of environmental friendly ... while the things are not publicly announced are ... harvesting enormous exotic materials for higher profits ... and stopping the sell of fossil fuels and more affordable ice vehicles

MB also claimed a record cx for the cla, a proven scam... Hords of audis and bmws, even alfas, can't support low drag claims with their top speeds. One of the very few cars with low drag appears to be the last Octavia model (besides Tesla 3, Prius, Ioniq, which can't be verified, having a top speed limiter).
Even if true, it's useless if it can't really be bought.

A tank with liquid fuel gets lighter with fuel consumption, reducing the fuel consumption to the end of the trip because the car get lighter. Because batteries weigh the same during the trip the efficiency is constant and bad, at the end of the trip you carry a dead horse, dead batteries. The same bad efficiency when you recharge only 20-30%, the rest of 70% battery weight proportion is a dead horse in your car you carry all the time. Scam in marketing, it does not work. Electrical engines are far superior to internal combustion engines but fuel tanks are far superior to electrical batteries.

Again, 500kg wasted on storing energy, an IC engine with large fuel tank fully filled weighs around tenth of that.

It is mighty impressive when it comes to efficiency and drag.

And the weight of the long range is 1786Kg, so it's not too far

just another supercar concept. all those super-efficient car concepts coming close to cumbustion engine vehicles in terms of range are super flat. what about a family car with a lot of space in it? is that possible? i don't want to drive a formula 1 car in my every-day life!

TBH, 1 755 kg is pretty hefty considering the size and material used to manufacturer this vehicle.
Tesla model 3 is around 1600 kg with glass roof, without anything carbon made etc.
Sure, it has a much smaller battery ... wait they use new batteries in some new models, so it's maybe even slightly lighter ... but overall, when you consider what Tesla is capable of on """"economy"""" EV Model 3 Long range, Mercedes does not look all that revolutionary.

Regenerative braking. is possible a motor like generator in driving? a dynamo… a electromotor generator…
