Notably, Mercedes makes some EVs in the USA already. It has a production facility in Alabama. On top of that, the automaker says that dealer inventory is high right now and demand is weak. All of that combined leads to the decision that’s made today. Essentially, if you want a new Mercedes EV, you’ll have to buy one that’s already in stock.

Mercedes-Benz has temporarily stopped deliveries of its electric EQ models to the United States as high dealer inventories and reduced consumer appetite pressure automakers already facing policy headwinds.
