Overview
- Mercedes-Benz confirmed the EQE and EQS, in both sedan and SUV forms, are back in production and open for U.S. dealer orders after a months-long hiatus.
- U.S.-spec production and ordering paused on September 1, 2025 as the federal $7,500 EV purchase credit expired at the end of that month, though some output continued for export.
- The EQE and EQS SUVs are built in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, reducing tariff exposure compared with the Germany-built sedans.
- For 2026, outlets report performance tweaks and included NACS adapters for Tesla Supercharger access, alongside lower MSRPs on select trims.
- Mercedes’ electric CLA is beginning U.S. deliveries, and spy shots indicate a 2027 EQS update in testing with anticipated efficiency and charging improvements.
