An electric Mercedes-Benz car
Mercedes-Benz is moving away from its ambitious plans for EVs by 2030.
  • Mercedes-Benz said in 2021 it planned to be all-electric by 2030.
  • The carmaker walked back that goal during an earnings call this week, however. 
  • A Q4 statement from Mercedes says EV sales in 2030 will be more like 50% of its fleet.

It looks like Mercedes-Benz won't live up to its goal to be all-electric by 2030.

In 2021, the German carmaker announced plans only to sell electric vehicles — "where market conditions allow" — by 2030. It now seems that market conditions aren't going to allow that.
