Mercedes-Benz launches direct-to-buyer EQC sales model

Mercedes-Benz is going to sell the EQC electric car in Australia in a new way — one that reduces the role of conventional dealerships but also addresses claimed concerns buyers have with the familiar model. The model is to be exclusive to the EQC and the six other ‘EQ’ electric Mercedes models due here by the end of 2023. For now nine Mercedes-Benz dealers are signed up, in Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Waverley, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth, and Canberra.
