Mercedes G 580 Edition One retains the iconic boxy shape of the classic G-Wagen, which is great for brand recognition and off road capability, but it's bad for aerodynamics. For electric vehicles, where efficiency matters most for extending range, this design decision is bound to raise questions about what the real world performance will be. Mercedes says the car has a range of around 240 miles, but that seems optimistic, and many EV enthusiasts are skeptical about how that will translate to real world driving, especially down the highway. The question is whether the classic G Wagen styling is worth the potential sacrifice in range, and what this could mean for the vehicle's practicality for long distance travel, or off road adventures far from charging stations.
