Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius: Committed to brand value, will not adjust prices like Tesla.

Recently, Mercedes-Benz announced that its electric vehicle users will be able to use Tesla’s supercharging stations, and starting from 2025, its electric vehicles will fully adopt Tesla’s North American charging standard (NACS). This means that Mercedes-Benz will achieve interoperability with Tesla in terms of charging, providing consumers with more choices and convenience. However, Mercedes-Benz does not intend to follow Tesla’s pricing strategy, but rather insists on price stability and brand value.

Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Kallenius recently stated in an interview, “For a brand like Mercedes-Benz, you always have to look at the supply-demand balance in each market. However, for Mercedes-Benz, drastic price changes are usually not the right approach.” He believes that ensuring long-term stable residual value and other advantages of Mercedes-Benz vehicles is the highest priority.
