2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Electric Drive Vehicle Release Date
It is only a matter of time before Mercedes-Benz perfects the electric vehicle. Every automaker in the nation, whether in secret or in public, is racing to create a fully-electric car that with a range equal to or greater than the standard gas or diesel vehicle. Even companies like Uber are investing in electric vehicle research, using the S-Class specifically. For now, Tesla sits at the top, offering the most functional, affordable, and desirable electric vehicles on the market, but this will all be up in the air with the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class electric drive vehicle release date.

2019 Mercedes-Benz S550 EV
Right now, Mercedes-Benz does not offer any luxury electric vehicles. In fact, it currently doesn’t sell ANY fully-electric vehicles in the United States, unless you count the Smart Fortwo. It does have hybrid options for the E-Class, GLE SUV, and S-Class, but if you take the engines out of them, they will only last a few miles. The S550e, for example, uses an electric motor, but still needs a 3.0L biturbo engine to meet driver’s expectations. We aren’t sure whether to expect a modification of the S550 or something new altogether. Could it be in line with the S600? We could definitely see this happening.
Mercedes-Benz Electric Car Concepts
All of the Mercedes-Benz electric car concepts of the past are evidence of electric car ambitions from day one. Like them, the new S-Class will be unveiled at an international auto show. Specifically, it will appear at the Paris Motor Show in September of this year. It won’t, however be sold to the public until sometime in 2017. Would you choose a Mercedes-Benz over a Tesla even if it cost an arm or a leg more? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
