Mercedes-Benz EVs haven’t fairly captured the creativeness of rich prospects. As a consequence of a mixture of quirky styling and excessive costs, the German automaker’s EQ lineup has had a tough time convincing patrons. Now, although, the pricing half acquired a giant replace in the USA.

That’s excellent news anyway you take a look at it, and it’d simply assist Mercedes-Benz get some further gross sales till September. Why not the tip of the yr, I hear you asking. Effectively, that’s as a result of the German automaker has determined to pause manufacturing for U.S.-market EVs at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama, plant on September 1st. This doesn’t have an effect on the EQE and EQS fashions exported to different markets, although.
The pause does not have an finish date but, as an organization spokesperson instructed InsideEVs. “Please perceive we’re unable to share a timeline for when manufacturing will resume for aggressive causes. We are going to share extra data when out there.”
The worth cuts are welcome, particularly for individuals who had been on the fence about getting a Mercedes-Benz EV. All this being stated, remember that sellers might nonetheless have a bunch of 2025 fashions sitting on their tons, and a few offers might be had there, too. Additionally, don’t neglect that the depreciation on luxurious EVs just like the EQS and EQE is brutal, with their market worth dropping to only a third after two or three years.
