THE INSANE AMG GT XX CHARGES AT 1,041KW! HOW MERCEDES BROKE EVERY LONG DISTANCE EV RECORD

EV Channels Review

Mercedes-AMG has pushed the boundaries of EV endurance and charging with their AMG GT XX prototype at the Nardo ring. The vehicle achieved remarkable feats, including breaking long-distance records by covering over 40,000 km (25,000 miles) and exceeding the 24-hour record by 1,500 km. A standout achievement was the megawatt-level charging, with the car sustaining 1,041 kW for over two and a half minutes via a single CCS connector, demonstrating the potential of immersion-cooled batteries and advanced thermal management systems. While the car itself is a concept, Mercedes confirms that the core drive units and battery cells/modules will be production-ready next year. The video highlights Mercedes' commitment to developing a robust EV ecosystem, including their own charging network, which is being upgraded to support these high-power charging capabilities. The focus has shifted from range anxiety to charging speed and performance consistency, a transition this record run powerfully illustrates.
