Mercedes electric car sales doubled in Q2 2022.
Sales of fully electric Mercedes vehicles increased by more than 90% in Q2 and 134% in the first half of 2022.
In the second quarter of 2022, Mercedes EQ sales almost doubled to 23,500 units (+90%), and deliveries of xEV models (PHEVs and BEVs, including smart) reached 65,400 units (+2%).
Mercedes-Benz deliveries of passenger cars reached 490,000 units (-16%) between April and June as COVID-19 lockdown measures, and a shortage of semiconductor components constrained supplies. Customer demand remained strong across all regions and segments, particularly for Top-End Luxury and electric vehicles.
In Europe, sales reached 154,300 vehicles (-10%) with Germany accounting for 50,600 units (-4%). Almost every third vehicle sold in Europe in the first half of 2022 was an xEV (30%). In France, 39% of customers and in the Netherlands, 43% of clients opted for a BEV or hybrid Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Mercedes is hoping for an increase in EV sales as EQE production is underway, and the EQS SUV sales will start in the second half of 2022.
Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, said: Customer demand remains high. This is an honour and obligation for us. We are making every effort to fulfill customer expectations, despite the current supply restrictions. The electric ramp-up is gaining traction: Sales of our fully electric vehicles increased by more than 90% in Q2 and even 134% in the first half of 2022. It shows that we offer compelling electric vehicles that our customers desire.
