Mercedes to build electric GLS at Vance
MERCEDES WILL BUILD EVS IN THE U.S.
Mercedes' long-delayed EQC electric crossover still hasn't made it to our shores. The company has struggled with battery constraints and production issues, delaying its first long-range SUV's entrance into the U.S. market. But that doesn't mean the company isn't serious about bringing EVs to the states. In fact, Automotive News reports that the firm will assemble EVs at its Vance, Alabama manufacturing center.The assembly plant, which currently produces the GLE and GLS SUVs, will start building electric SUVs in 2022. The plan is to make electric versions of both the GLE and GLS, dubbed EQE SUV and EQS SUV respectively. The EQS Sedan, an all-electric S-Class-sized vehicle, will be the first Mercedes EQ product to arrive in the U.S.
