BMW on Monday announced plans for a prototype solid-state battery by 2025, followed by a production-ready version by 2030. The batteries will power a new generation of electric cars, based on a dedicated platform, making its production debut around that time.

Hyundai’s Genesis on Monday showed a very understated, production-bound approach to adding a first electric car to its lineup: Electrify its flagship sedan, the G80. Depending on how you look at it, the Genesis outperforms its “electrified” billing but plays a conservative angle in not looking dramatically different as an EV. The... 
A fully electric Toyota pickup won’t be a rival to the Tesla Cybertruck, but that’s beside the point.

With an introduction held at the 2021 Shanghai auto show, Mercedes-Benz announced a surprised addition to its United States EV lineup. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB is scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. in 2022. The EQB is the electric equivalent of the GLB-Class compact crossover (which we believe would have been a good electric car), itself a...
