- Mercedes expressed interest in producing electric cars in CKD in Egypt, saying that this country constitutes a promising market in the region, due to a large population, the emergence of a middle class, a rate motorization which is still very low (100 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants) and the age of the local car fleet.

- Mercedes is today one of the major producers of electric vehicles in Europe, offering a wide range of models equipped with this type of engine, such as the EQA (segment C), EQB (segment C), EQC (segment D), EQE (E-segment), EQV (E-segment), EQS (F-segment), as well as the e-Citan, e-Vito and e-Sprinter, not to mention the new Smarts which will be launched in a few weeks and replace the old EQs Fortwo and EQ Forfour.

- Mercedes wants to establish itself in Egypt but it is not yet known which model the German manufacturer wants to produce there. The EQ range seems ill-suited to production intended for Egypt and emerging countries close to Egypt, due to very high prices for local consumers.

- There are therefore several possible scenarios: either produce a brand new 100% electric entry-level model, but nothing like this is planned today at Mercedes, or produce the future Smart in Egypt in addition to China, but it would require Geely's agreement, or produce existing models and try to export them in the region (to Israel in particular). None of these scenarios is preferred today.
