LAS VEGAS -- Japanese electronics conglomerate Sony Group will set up a subsidiary called Sony Mobility Inc. to focus on electric vehicles, the company announced at CES 2022 consumer tech show in Las Vegas.

The company unveiled a new electric SUV prototype, dubbed Vision-S 02, at the event on Tuesday night. Sony first announced plans for electric vehicles at CES 2020, and showed off its Vision-S 01 electric sedan at the all-virtual CES last year.
