Mercedes-Benz EQS electric car has 100km more range than Tesla’s Model S – does an ultra-aerodynamic exterior and cutting-edge interior technology make this the luxury EV to beat?

• The Porsche Taycan’s range is nowhere close, with a claimed maximum of 462km – some 300km less than Mercedes’ new offering, in showrooms later this year
• The brand says the car will add more than 100km of range in around 15 minutes, though don’t expect the same acceleration as the lightning Tesla Model S
