Mercedes-Benz Australia is hitting the brakes on PHEV – plug-in hybrid electric vehicle – sales.

In the case of the coming Maserati Gran Turismo probably not… The internal-combustion engine versions of the Italian brand’s iconic two-door are going to be quick, but the all-new model’s battery-powered variant will make them seem slow. They’re due to reach Australia in late 2023.

"On some products, the costs, particularly in advanced technologies, are high," he said in a lengthy interview with Automotive News (free subscription required). It will appear in Europe next year as the Opel Ampera and in Australia as the Holden Volt in 2012. It is simply the cost of doing business. Interesting in any case.
