The EQS is the first Mercedes to be built on a new dedicated electric-vehicle platform. Mercedes said the tech-laden flagship EV will offer a market-leading driving range of 478 miles (770 km).

Electric hypercar maker Rimac plans to build a new campus on the outskirts of Zagreb in Croatia that will have capacity for 2,500 employees -- roughly 2 1/2 times the company's current headcount. Production is slated to start there in 2023 and the automaker has released these renderings of the project.

MG's futuristic electric Cyberster concept will be shown at the upcoming Shanghai auto show. The automaker claims an 800-km (496-mile) range for the roadster and a 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) acceleration time of less than three seconds.

The Mercedes EQS has a full-width dashboard screen with haptic (vibrations and pulse) touch feedback. Users can also change menu levels or activate other functions through different touch pressures via a metallized foam embedded into the screens.
