Ladies and Gentlemen,
Electric engines have been already used in passenger cars: in the electric adjustment of seats, in power windows, in windscreen wipers and so on... To propel a car fully with electric engines seems to me an exaggeration... All-electric cars don't seem to have a heart in terms of the internal combustion engine to me...
Crude oil is the only fortune that the Arabic world and Russia have, for example tourism is peanuts... In Europe and in America you cannot afford to finish feeding the Arabic world and Russia... Furthermore without refinement of crude oil you won't have asphalt for underneath your EVs and you won't have plastic which is the last result of science... I would be also very curious of the real efficiency data of internal combustion engines where the heat of combustion is turned immediately into movement...
A couple of years ago, a major competitor of the Mercedes EQS made my wife and me enthusiastic about and clap our hands for this electric vehicle and we also declared our request that we want to see more fully electric cars... Now that the Mercedes EQS is ready I discover weaknesses of this concept and I think the capability of such cars to reduce the global crude oil consumption is frightening... Next time I will be more careful of when I clap my hands for something...
Of course, the Mercedes EQS is a beautiful car but to me it contains too many adventures...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
