BMW will be adding an all-electric version of its large-and-luxurious 7-Series sedan. The Kia Niro gets bigger screens for 2020. And a major battery maker reports progress on the solid-state battery front. This and more, here at Green Car Reports.

The 2020 Kia Niro EV gets larger infotainment touchscreens, plus a slight update to its styling, with a modest price hike—but no changes to its 239-mile rated range or its fast-charging rates of up to 100 kw.
And our partner site Motor Authority summed up the current state of vehicle production, which has ground to a halt at many North American plants.
