Mercedes-Benz will launch its first EV in PH on September 20

Among the four premium German brands in the country (Audi, BMW, Porsche), it's Mercedes-Benz that's yet to launch an all-electric model. But that's about to change soon.

Mercedes-Benz Philippines has announced they will reveal their first EQ model in the country on September 20. They are still yet to confirm which model, but previous teasers point out that it could be the EQE SUV.

Currently, Mercedes-Benz has the EQA, EQB, EQC, EQV, as well as the EQS, EQE, and their SUV counterparts in their fully-electric EQ lineup in the global market. The launch of the first EQ model in the country should pave the way for Mercedes-Benz PH to bring in more all-electric models in the future.

It was back at the launch of the all-new GLC crossover that Mercedes-Benz PH confirmed they will offer their first all-electric model before the year ends. It's a favorable time for Mercedes-Benz to begin its electrification efforts as full EVs currently get zero import duties and excise taxes for the next 5 years. These are due to the incentives brought by PBBM's EO12 that supplements the EVIDA law.

With about a month to go before we see the first Mercedes-Benz EQ model in the country, watch this space as we keep our eyes peeled for more information.
