Daimler, which is Mercedes-Benz's parent company, already offers two all-electric cars. One is called the B250E, which has a range of about 87 miles per charge. The other is its Smart Fortwo electric car, which has a city range of 76 miles per charge.
But the company plans to launch at least one new all-electric car by 2018.
According to a Reuters report published in early June, Daimler's chief development officer Thomas Weber said the company will debut a prototype of an electric Mercedes vehicle with a range of 310 miles per charge at the Paris Motor Show in October.
According to a report in the German magazine AutoBild published in December, it could be an electric version of its GLC crossover. However, there is now speculation that the vehicle could be a coupe.
In August, Mercedes showed off an electric concept car called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6. The Vision concept has gull wing doors and incredibly thin headlights. We're hoping the concept the company shows off in October adopts some of these features.
