Mercedes-Benz Electric Vehicle Sales Surge in US as Demand Rises for New EQS SUV

Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle sales surged 284% in Q3 2022 over last year, nearing 15% of the automaker's total US sales.

The German automaker now offers 5 all-electric models in the US market across vehicle segments, led by the EQS SUV.

Through the first 9 months of 2022, the EQS SUV leads Mercedes EV sales with 7,086 units, followed by the EQB with 6,674 units.

Although Ford and GM sold more EVs than Mercedes in Q3, they accounted for just 3-4% of their total sales.

Mercedes' CEO said the brand is "encouraged" by the demand for its EVs, now accounting for 14% of its total US passenger vehicle sales.
