The luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz is stepping up its transition to electric cars which would mean that all new car sales will be electric by 2030 and the company have also said, that its customers will have the option of purchasing an ‘all-electric alternative’ for every model made by Mercedes by 2025. 

Mercedes also plans to open nine gigafactories, while working with international partners to make the cells they need to make their vehicles. This is on top of the plans for the launch of nine plants to develop battery systems for their vehicles.

Their strategy of investment in electric follows proposals from the EU’s executive commission to tighten limits on carbon dioxide emissions, the primary greenhouse gas blamed by scientists for global warming.
