At one point it was mooted that Mercedes will be free of  fossil fuels by, a now impossible, 2015 but a move in that direction is  in the works and the &#8220;AMG Performace 2015&#8221; motto is now geared more  towards big reductions in emissions.<\/p>\n<p>A limited supply of the E-CELL  line, featuring high voltage (400V) liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries,  will be ready for 2013. They will boast 526 horsepowers thanks to 4  electric engines which combined can achieve an equivalent maximum of  12,000 RPM with top speeds of 155 miles per hour. The cars also do 0 to  100Km\/hr in 4 seconds, well in line with other non-zero emission cars.  The one &#8216;advertised&#8217; limitation, that of range, is around 90 miles on a  charge for the first of Mercedes SLSs. This will improve in future  generation green cars.<\/p>\n<p>This Mercedes SLS is certainly a car with luxury  specs but one with a giant step towards the green future where charging  stations will be the norm instead of gas stations and the moving part  monstrosity that is a combustion engine will be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mercedes SLS AMG E-CELL is a prototype and one of the cars in line to take Mercedes-Benz and it&#8217;s subsidiary Mercedes-AMG into its promised fully electric line.
