Mercedes GLC in the test: The German Vita - with the electric SUV to Italy
Electric on holiday - that was a long adventure. With the new GLC, Mercedes promises a lot of range and space. However, the technology sometimes reaches its limits.
Italians have long been a source of fascination for Germans, with famous figures like Goethe traveling to the country as early as 1786. For decades, Germans have flocked to Italy on summer vacations, often in large groups, and the phenomenon has become a cultural staple. However, electric vehicle owners have previously found it challenging to navigate Italy due to limited charging infrastructure, prompting complaints from industry leaders like former VW CEO Herbert Diess in 2020.
A new Mercedes GLC electric car promises to change that, boasting a range of up to 713 kilometers and rapid charging capabilities. A two-week road trip from Düsseldorf to Tuscany will put the vehicle to the test.
