"If you’re worried about ruggedness, Mercedes-Benz says you shouldn’t be. The G 580 with EQ Technology has metal and carbon fiber protection around the 116-kilowatt-hour battery pack. It’s also fully isolated from water, dirt and whatever other muck you run it through. It’s not, however, made using the silicon-anode technology from Mercedes’ partnership with Sila. Those are due to arrive in a “range-extended” version of the electric G within the next few years, according to a Mercedes-Benz spokesperson."
So the tech is unfortunately not ready for prime time :-(

They were testing G Wagon electric with batteries from Sila which would be 1st battery with Silicon based anode. But the release has no mention about the same. That would have provided a denser battery with more range.
