Automakers are nowadays plagued by supply chain issues mostly caused by the semiconductor shortage and more recently the situation in Ukraine, which has increased raw material prices and affected their availability. Mercedes-Benz is feeling the pressure too with the company announcing recently that it could struggle to keep up with rising demand for its EVs.
Mercedes is currently in the process of launching models to create a parallel lineup of electric vehicles, most of which are bespoke, although some are still based on internal combustion-engined vehicles. The manufacturer already has three crossovers and SUVs and two sedans and it plans to add more, catering for quite a wide range of potential buyers.
