When it comes to car shopping, you'll encounter various price tags, but none is more critical than the out-the-door price.

MSRP includes the vehicle's base price, factory-installed options, and delivery fees. However, it’s merely a suggestion by the manufacturer, giving dealerships some wiggle room for negotiation.

Unlike traditional used car transactions for crossovers or pickups, buying a used electric vehicle (EV) presents a unique opportunity to save money compared to purchasing a new model. MotorVero offers insightful guidance for those considering a shift to electric. Used EVs tend to be available even when the general used car market is inflated, with a 24% price decrease observed in 2024 compared to 2023. This significant drop is partly due to the steep depreciation rate associated with EVs, much like that of European luxury cars.

In a groundbreaking move to accelerate electric mobility, Mercedes-Benz has partnered with PowerX to establish a high-power electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Japan. This strategic partnership aims to address the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure, contributing significantly to the expansion of electric mobility solutions and promoting sustainability.

Industrial production in March 2024 recorded an increase of 0.4%, aligning with market expectations and driven primarily by a significant rise in manufacturing output. Utility production, which grew by 2%, and mining, which declined by 1.4%, effectively balanced each other.
