The all-electric Mercedes G580 (Electric G-Class) is a sight to behold — but is this legendary icon actually a terrible EV? After a full week and 750 miles of real-world testing, Imogen delves into its huge battery, low efficiency, limited range, lack of towing, tight interior space, and sky-high £175k price tag.
Yet despite its shortfalls, something about it is alarmingly tempting. This episode breaks down why the Electric G-Class may struggle to satisfy both EV buyers and G-Wagen purists. The question is, is it worth it, or just a beautifully luxurious guilty pleasure?!
