I'm not sure if that motor-generator on the C200 EQ-Boost ever reaches 500A.

Driving each of the 4 wheels with a 10 - 15 HP electric motor and a 5:1 gear reduction ... would get you up to 65 mph ... eventually ...

Considering the torque output, just one of those motor-generator units could already be enough to move it. Even though it's not a fair comparison to a 50hp VW EA827 1.6D such as the one an uncle of mine had adapted to a Suzuki Vitara, the motor-generator has a little more than 50% torque.
