GLC350e Availability ?

It's time to replace our ML350. We'd like to get a BEV or PHEV. We'd had a GL550e in Europe for a week and really liked it but our local dealer said that MB aren't making any PHEV's available in the U.S. including the current 550e and soon to come 350e. Is this the case throughout the U.S.?

Thanks,

C350e is to be here as a 2017 model. I think this will be true for GLC.

I hope the GLC has a bit more battery than the C. A friend has a C that only gets about 10km on battery. She'd like to have had enough to get her through most days which she figures is about 25km.

Thanks. We test drove a Volvo XC90 plug-in hybrid today and were quite surprised how nice it is. $83k though so not much below a mid range Tesla X which is what I think she really wants.
