Momentum is gathering around a new all-electric sub-brand for Mercedes-Benz with a new report out of the US again pointing to a Paris Motor Show debut.

Bloomberg quotes two unnamed sources who reportedly confirm that the three-pointed star carmaker has signed off on the plan, which aims to tackle BMW’s ‘i’ EV and range-extended hybrid program along with the rolling ball of popularity that is Tesla.

This isn’t the first time an EV sub-brand for Benz has been in the spotlight, as the carmaker is heavily tipped to kick-off its new green range with four models.

The C-Class and S-Class would initially carry the green flag for passenger car buyers, while the remainder of the quartet would be SUVs (perhaps GLA- and GLC-Class) with all expected to be in Mercedes showrooms by 2020.

Previously, Mercedes could have been accused of servicing an image-change, but the latest reports suggest the German carmaker believe the financial pendulum has finally swung - that is, electric vehicles can now be profitable.
