Mercedes-Benz booked impressive electric vehicle (EV) sales in the third quarter (Q3) of the year or the last three months, spanning from July to September 2022.
In the same period, the German-based luxury car maker has already introduced its all-new all-electric SUV, the EQS.
Mercedes-Benz EV Sales Reaches 30,000 in the Third Quarter of 2022
As per the latest news story by Electrek, the renowned luxury carmaker has sold roughly 30,000 EVs from July to September.
It is worth mentioning that Mercedes-Benz also achieved impressive all-electric car sales in the second quarter (Q2) of 2022.
In fact, according to a report by Inside EVs, the German automaker sold 23,500 electric cars from April to June. And as such, Mercedes has successfully doubled its EV sales in Q2.
And this time, it looks like Benz is moving forward with more impressive EV sales as it expands its all-electric offerings.
Electrek notes in its report that the luxury carmaker sold roughly 115% more electric cars this third quarter than it did in the same period last year or 2021.
Not to mention that the overall vehicle sales of Mercedes had shot up by around 21% in the last three months.
The latest report from Electrive did the math and revealed that the Q3 EV sales of the renowned automaker are more than twice its deliveries in the same quarter last year.
It also turns out that its EV sales already hold roughly 5.8% of its overall vehicle sales. Meanwhile, its plug-in hybrid and Smart EV offerings capture around 14.7%. And the rest are still fuel-powered cars.
Strong Overall Vehicle Sales Amid Raging Supply Chain Mess
The news outlet says that the German automaker seems to be managing the raging supply chain mess better than other carmakers out there.
The board member of Mercedes, Britta Seeger, says that they "continue to see robust demand for Mercedes-Benz," which ended up allowing the giant car maker to achieve its "strongest sales quarter this year."
Seeger further adds that strong sales prevail despite that "challenging business environment - primarily defined by ongoing semiconductor shortages."
