阿諾史瓦辛格是誰應該不用多做介紹
比較不為人知的是他一直致力於解決氣候變遷問題

不過他仍然很喜歡大型越野車
日前他跟Kreisel Electric這家歐洲公司合作打造了一部電動版的Mercedes G-Class
這輛車的電池有80kWh，預計續航力為190miles
馬力約為490PS，極速可達183km/h
比較特別的是這部車聲稱能以150kW的速度充電

Arnold Schwarzenegger will now drive a new custom all-electric Mercedes
G-Class made by Kreisel Electric
Over the past few years, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been on a mission to
address climate change and that’s a big change for a guy who used to
have a Hummer collection and who is credited to being partly responsible
for the commercial version of the gas-guzzling monster.
He still likes big off-road vehicles, but now he managed to get one more
aligned with his new environmentally conscious lifestyle. His new custom
all-electric Mercedes G-Class doesn’t consume a drop of gas thanks to
the latest conversion of Kreisel Electric.
If you don’t remember Kreisel from our previous coverage of the company,
they are a small battery startup launched by three brothers in Austria,
Arnold’s home country. They have been making headlines in Europe for
having retrofitted some popular European-built electric vehicles with
their own battery packs and significantly increasing their range in the
process.
They are now in the process of building a 800-MWh battery factory and
they are rumored to be working with automakers to implement their high
energy density battery pack technology in production vehicles.
Their best way to get the attention of OEMs is to go ahead and build
battery-powered versions of their cars without asking and since the
former Governor of California is a big fan and long-time owner of the
Mercedes G-Class, he worked with Kreisel Electric to build an electric
version.
He was at the Hahnenkamm race in Kitzebuehel this weekend to unveil the
vehicle for the first time:

When automakers build electric cars using the chassis and body of their
existing gas-powered vehicles, it usually means a ton of compromises
since it wasn’t designed to be electric.
Kreisel sees its own battery pack technology as an interesting solution
because its high energy density enables them to simply swap the engine
and gas tank, replace them with the packs, and still achieve a good
weight distribution and range.
In the case of the Mercedes G-Class, they were able to install an
impressive 80 kWh pack in the car for an estimated range of 190 miles.
The battery weighs 510 kg (1,100 lbs) or about the equivalent of a Tesla
battery pack.

The electric motor has a 360 kW (490 PS) output on the road and reaches a
maximum speed of 183 km/h (133 mph). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) in 5.6 seconds or 3 seconds faster than its original gas-powered
version.
But that’s not all that is fast. What is particularly interesting is
that Kreisel claims that the vehicle can charge at 150 kW – a lot faster
than most vehicles available today.
They used the same parts for refueling as for charging:

Schwarzenegger will be taking the car back to California to further test
it and provide feedback. He said during the announcement:
“To me, with the electric version of this fantastic car, a dream has
become true. The initial test drive was a real pleasure: The Kreisel is
incredibly sporty and perfectly benefits from the advantages e-mobility
has to offer. I really look forward to the following test runs and to the
gradual further development in California.”
It’s not available for sale, but it’s part of Kreisel’s continuous
effort tot try to establish itself as a battery supplier for the industry.
