The alluring Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX electric vehicle has the power to make traditional gas-guzzling cars envious.

With a design built from scratch, the Vision EQXX concept car boasts a remarkable range of up to 620 miles on a single charge, surpassing all other Mercedes vehicles in efficiency. The car features a cutting-edge AI avatar, similar to Knight Rider’s K.I.T.T., but with a more futuristic twist, displayed on a single floating screen. Choosing between the exterior and interior of this stunning vehicle is a tough decision.

 

Verge TS Ultra Motorcycle

Verge TS Ultra Motorcycle

In 2023, the Verge TS series will be introduced in the United States. The high-end Ultra model boasts a top speed of 124 mph and can recharge quickly in just 25 minutes, making it the most impressive bike on the block. With an anticipated range of 233 miles on a single charge, the Ultra generates 201 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 2.5 seconds. The motor is positioned in the rear wheel hub, resulting in a lower center of gravity for the bike and enabling a larger battery to be incorporated into the frame.

The Squad is a small car with a solar panel on its roof, offering up to 19.2 miles of range on a sunny day and up to 60 miles on a full charge. It has two 2kW rear in-wheel motors, powered by four swappable 1.6kWh batteries. Safety features include four-wheel disc brakes, seat belts, and a roll cage. The car’s top speed is just under 30mph, and it costs $6,250

Sony Car

Sony Car coming in 2026
Sony is entering the EV market through a partnership with Honda to create a new electric vehicle brand called Afeela. The Afeela logo appears on a narrow “media bar” screen located on the vehicle’s front bumper, allowing for interaction with people outside and information sharing, such as the weather or the car’s charge status. While Sony previously showcased a car at CES 2020, the Afeela is the first to hit the market. Although pricing has not been announced, the Afeela is expected to hit North American roads in 2026, with Japan and Europe following.

 

BMW concept

BMW concept

BMW’s i Vision Dee is aiming to bring a more personal touch to technology. This concept car uses advanced AI to move beyond the standard functionality of Siri and Alexa, and instead aims to act as both a car and a companion. The i Vision Dee is an electric sports car that features 240 E Ink panels on its exterior. These panels can be used to create a digital face on the car’s grille, which is not needed for ventilation due to the EV’s design, or to switch the car’s colors with the touch of a button.
