Mercedes-Benz Korea sanctioned over misleading EV battery claims - Lemmy.zip

cross-posted from : https://lemmy.zip/post/60481861 [https://lemmy.zip/post/60481861] > The nation’s antitrust watchdog also ordered the carmaker to rectify its deceptive marketing practices. According to the authority’s investigation, the carmaker concealed the actual battery supplier for several models — the EQE and EQS EVs — and promoted as if all of the vehicles were equipped with batteries from CATL, the world’s largest battery maker. > Mercedes-Benz Korea and its German headquarters were already aware of the battery suppliers, but deliberately deleted information on Farasis in its sales guide here, according to the FTC investigation. The local subsidiary received education materials on the battery suppliers for each EV lineup from the German headquarters in May 2021.

I don't think it'll ever be financially possible for me to buy an EV (at least not a new one), but the EV6 GT was the one I wanted. I think killing the tax credits for EVs may be the final nail in our own coffin and the air's going to get real stuffy. #climatechange #climateemergency #automotive
