Discounting the impressive Rimac Concept One, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive is arguably the world’s only fully-electric supercar. With prices in Germany starting at an insane 416,500 euros, the SLS AMG Electric Drive has been completely overhauled compared to the regular model.
In fact, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive is powered by four electric motors delivering a total of 740 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. Consequently, the car can sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in just 3.9 seconds.
While these figures are certainly impressive, the SLS AMG Electric Drive does suffer from one major drawback; it’s an electric car. This means it doesn’t have a range which is all that impressive and finding a charging point isn’t as easy as locating a gas station. So if you own an SLS AMG Electric Drive you still suffer limited range and long charging times suffered by all modern day electric production cars.
The following owner of a black Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive recently encountered that problem in Amsterdam, Netherlands when his car was running on just 4% battery. Thankfully, Seger Giesbers from Seger Giesbers Photography was on hand and helped the owner find a charging point and snapped the following pictures for us!
