Mercedes-Benz will be an all-electric brand by 2030

While electric is the future, ICE vehicles are not going to be out of production, but markets that support electric vehicles will see more penetration.

Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to go all-electric by the end of the decade and shifting its focus from electric-first to electric-only. The world’s luxury carmaker is accelerating towards an emissions-free and software-driven future. By 2022, Mercedes-Benz will have battery-electric vehicles (BEV) in all segments the company serves. From 2025 onwards, all newly launched vehicle architectures will be electric-only and customers will be able to choose an all-electric alternative for every model the company makes. While electric is the future, ICE vehicles are not going to be out of production, but markets that support electric vehicles will see more penetration. Ola Kallenius, CEO of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG said, “The EV shift is picking up speed - especially in the luxury segment, where Mercedes-Benz belongs. The tipping point is getting closer and we will be ready as markets switch to electric-only by the end of this decade.”
