Mercedes-Benz has sounded the alarm: electric cars will remain more expensive than similar LPG cars in the coming years. The result is that the German premium barque is yet another to hit the brakes on its plans for massive electrification of the range.

And if you remember, Mercedes’ plans called for the brand to go all-electric by the end of this decade, but with the caveat: “where conditions permit.”
