The G-Class is not really aerodynamic.
Advantages of the electric drive
Although electric cars have disadvantages: charging and range, electric cars are better than fuel-powered cars in some areas. For example, the power sent to the wheels of the Mercedes G-Class can be adjusted very precisely (by system) and the electric motors offer plenty of power and torque that is immediately available.
The electric G-Class uses four electric motors, one for each wheel. In this way, the systems can not only determine exactly how much power is going to each wheel – it also allows you to power through the terrain with ease. It is also possible to rotate 360 degrees by turning the wheels in opposite directions on each side.
