2019 AMG E63S Wagon
Why are they coy about "total" horsepower?
That's works out to ~831 hp, right?
Also they note the battery is 6.1 kWh which is ~1/3rd the capacity of, for example, an XC90 T8 hybrid SUV.
So I guess that extra ~200 hp isn't for getting to the grocery store efficiently but is all about performance?!
470 kW, gains a powerful, electrifying ally that brings a further 150 kW

One more question, do you think the fact that the front engine bay is unchanged implies that the wagon will be available in both this "E" hybrid performance variant as well as the the 4.0L ICE variant?

Because it's not sustained power or even guaranteed
A reply in the AMG forum states there are 4 battery regeneration modes ranging from nothing all the way to full "single-pedal" mode where the electric motor is maximally charging (and implicitly braking) when the accelerator is lifted.

AMG E63 Hammer Wagon. Alfa, Rover, Ferrari, Porsche.
Because it's not sustained power or even guaranteed. This is the dirty secret with these new E Performance models. The total power is only available for 10 seconds. Sustained power is lower. And if the battery charge gets low you are left with only the ICE power. The battery effectively discharges over a full tank, so then if you fill up, but not charge the battery you will also be down on power until you can charge the battery again.

It appears all AMG vehicles are going mild, to full Hybrid, then completely EV.. This sounds like the evolution to what the E53 has going on.
I imagine that full performance mode will be able to be recharged, while driving, when used in short bursts. I also imagine that track day or extended full power usage will require the use of the wall charger. I am also going to guess there will be a very limited range, normal econo car HP, full EV mode. This mode will also require the use of the wall charger.
I’m going to guess “one man one motor” eventually disappears too.
The tech in these cars is advancing so fast. Straight line performance will be amazing. Handling will be interesting until the tech goes to Jenny Craig and keeps it off.

As an Engineer Hydrogen Fuel Cell propulsion makes more sense. Especially since my 2 residences are 1500-miles apart. Will not get excited about the future until flying cars like in Bladerunner 2049 or Westworld.

I wish you can disconnect the battery while you are not using it and leave it home that way you get the best of both worlds. Reminds me of removable batteries on smartphones, lawn mowers etc. (but I guess probably not feasible on a hybrid vehicle plus there might be liability issues).
My 2c is to stick to the mighty V8 until .. … we get better performance than the existing V8 plus the range of about 500 miles and battery charging time below 15;minutes..

I can imagine a C/E/S Class AMG AWD, with a straight 6, larger turbos and plug in hybrid motors at the rear. I can imagine 650hp daily setting and 850hp track setting. I can imagine 21/29 mpg. I imagine it sounding like a straight 6 race car. I also imaging a 1000hp EV with piped in sound of your choice.
