The Mercedes Vision EQXX concept recently broke the record of running for the longest time on a single charge by driving from Germany's Stuttgart to England's Silverstone — a whooping 1,202 kilometres without stopping.

The entire journey took 14 hours and 30 minutes, reports British car website Top Gear.

The Vision EQXX's last record was driving 1,008km from Stuttgart to Cassis without a single charge stop in April this year.

The Vision EQXX has a battery capacity of around 100kWh and is built like a spaceship. However, its power is a modest 241bhp, and top speed is a mere 87mph. Its unladen weight is 1,755kg

After breaking its own previous record, the car was charged up again and sent to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England.
