Mercedes has just pulled off what might be the biggest leap forward in EV technology we’ve seen yet. A Mercedes EQS with a solid-state battery drove nearly 750 miles on a single charge across Germany, Denmark, and Sweden—and it still had range left over. This wasn’t a lab test or a concept car experiment. This was a real-world EV range test in a vehicle you could recognize on the road today, and the results could change the future of electric cars forever.

For years, automakers have promised that solid-state EV batteries would be the holy grail: lighter, safer, more durable, and able to store more energy in the same space. Now, Mercedes and its partner Factorial Energy have delivered the first real proof that this technology is more than just hype. The Mercedes EQS solid-state battery breakthrough offers 25% more usable energy than a traditional lithium-ion pack without adding weight or bulk. That’s how this luxury EV managed to travel farther than most gas-powered cars on a single charge.

This podcast breaks down why the 750-mile Mercedes EQS solid-state EV is a gamechanger. We’ll explore how the trip was planned, why the technology matters, what it could mean for Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, and other automakers, and whether this is the end of EV range anxiety as we know it. We’ll also dive into the challenges—cost, mass production, and charging times—that still stand between this achievement and mainstream availability.

So is the Mercedes EQS long-range solid-state battery the breakthrough that finally convinces the skeptics? Or is it still too early to say until we see production models? Watch the full podcast, hear the story, and then share your thoughts in the comments—because this could be the moment that defines the future of electric mobility.
