Mercedes-Benz's Take on EVs

The shift to clean energy has been felt and seen globally, with the car industry headlining this adoption, and many companies in the world have pledged to take on the challenge to bring electrified versions of their cars for all. One of Mercedes-Benz's most significant actions here is to upgrade its existing EV Motor Factory that can handle a yearly capacity of 1 million units. 

One of the earliest EVs from Mercedes-Benz is its EQS, an electric SUV that has proven to be more than an electric car, but a luxurious and performance-focused car that is enough to match its branding. It has also brought massive fame and significance to the company's take on electric cars, with the EQS bringing in a record 30,000 units sold in only three months last 2022.

Earlier leaks and speculations about Mercedes-Benz bringing in its electrified Sprinter van in the US were met with enthusiasm, with many holding high regard for the company's van platform in the past. Now, it is officially here, with the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter featuring a massive 249 miles of range, a high-roof, and a long wheelbase, available in US dealerships starting at $71,000.
