If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
You might have reached a little far in point 2 with the use of the word mainly. I don’t believe I have read MB claiming Akida was the main reason for extending the battery range, but it has certainly been a good team player. There are lots of things that have contributed to the low energy usage: weight saving materials, new design tyres, the aerodynamic design of the car itself etc.
Hi LM77, just to be clear, that wasn't actually my wording, it was a quote that came from the article in Der Finanz Investor. I don't know what sort of research they undertake to know how factually correct this statement is, but I would think it was very strange if they didn't have some communication with Mercedes on the technology in order to write what they have written.
