This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending April 16, 2021. Mercedes-Benz finally did the full reveal of its 2022 EQS...
Rivian has announced an insurance program, but it’s quite different than Tesla’s. The Mercedes EQS might leapfrog most other EVs in efficiency. GM and LG announce a second battery plant. And Washington State sets a 2030 end date for gasoline vehicles. This and more, here at Green Car Reports. It’s official: GM is planning a...
Driving range really matters in an EV. Even when that EV is one that very closely parallels the S-Class, the brand’s longtime flagship for conspicuous consumption and twin-turbo V-8s. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS that was fully revealed Wednesday is on a mission to maximize range and not be far outdone by Tesla and Lucid, let alone BMW and...
Rivian is following Tesla not only by launching premium long-range EVs, but by launching its own insurance product. Rivian Insurance for the R1T electric pickup truck and the R1S electric SUV will be offered in 40 states initially (a lot more than Tesla), and will rely heavily on vehicle connectivity, according to the company's website.

The RAV4 Prime was the quickest-selling new car in March, second only to the Chevrolet Corvette, according to iSeeCars analysis. It took an average 10.2 days to sell a RAV4 Prime last...
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 are two new electric cars based on a common platform, but from separate brands. That's why they haven't been shown together until now. First spotted by InsideEVs, a short video ad for Hyundai Motor Group's E-Pit high-power fast-charging network has shown the two models from the corporate cousins together for the...
General Motors is reportedly making plans with the South Korean battery supplier LG Chem for a second joint U.S. battery plant—this one in Tennessee.
