Arnold Schwarzenegger has a way of standing out. But this talent of being a cut above the rest is displayed by his G-Wagen as well.

How Climate Conscious Arnold Schwarzenegger Gave Mercedes Its Best Idea in Years

Fame and fortune are synonymous with a plethora of things ranging from the fruit
of hard work to a garage of high-end cars. But in 1984 pop queen Madonna
poignantly summed up all of humanity and its stage in her iconic lyrics “We are
living in a material world, And I am a material girl“. And in 1998, Adam Sandler
gave it a more inclusive touch as he added, “And I’m a material girl… or boy“.
However, it was only Arnold Schwarzenegger
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger] who did justice to
Madonna’s iconic lyrics, all the while making sure humanity is not reduced to a
few cents as he brought the best of both worlds in his Mercedes G-Wagen.

To find a G-Wagen in a celebrity’s garage is almost as normal as finding an
“I’ll be back,” punchline in Schwarzenegger’s movies. However, there is one
crucial detail that separates the G-Wagen in the Austrian Oak’s garage. A detail
that shows how despite having a fairly large body surface area, not a single
cell in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body is representative of mediocrity. The detail
in question is the electric motor that makes his G-Wagen an EV.



To convert his 2016 G-Wagen into an EV, the Austrian Oak had to provide a fancy
amount to Kreisel, known for all things electronic.

And if this cost him a couple of million and a 190 miles restriction, then be
it.

The Austrian Oak was the first to turn his Mercedes beauty into an EV. And this
concept of making one of its best sellers thrive on powered batteries instead of
fuels intrigued not just environmentalists but Mercedes itself.


HOW ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER TURNED INSPIRATION FOR MERCEDES

Mercedes and G-Wagen have always been the definition of opulence. Its cheapest
costs around $140,000 and the one with the highest tag price has a stomach for
18 mpg combined, making it not the most efficient model. Thus, Schwarzenegger’s
G-Wagen EV served as the beacon of hope for the brand that was slowly losing its
charm to rise back up.

The EV G-Wagen soon became a class in its own as Mercedes ticked the
environmentally friendly box. So much so that the brand is currently testing a
zero-emission G-Class. While it is unclear when this roaring beauty will be out,
you can be assured that Arnold Schwarzenegger definitely has it on his wishlist.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
