The increase in battery production comes after Mercedes-Benz announced it will go fully electrified by 2030 where market conditions permit.

According to reports the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV could be a key model for the German automaker as production of the current EQC ends in 2023.

The EQC is the brand's first EQ family electric vehicle derived from the outgoing GLC.

It's unclear if there will be a second-generation EQC which could mean the EQE SUV may have to pick up the slack before the second-generation model launches.
