STUTTGART, Feb 17 (Reuters) - China's electric vehicle market has so far grown at the bottom of the price range, where Mercedes-Benz does not have a significant product offering, its CEO said on Friday, saying the carmaker must wait for the premium segment to grow. "It is absolutely true that the growth of the electric market in China has been from the bottom. .. segments where we almost don't have anything," Ola Kaellenius said. "Premium and upper luxury is still in its infancy. We have to apply some strategic patience here and look at how this grows." (Reporting by Victoria Waldersee Editing by Miranda Murray)
