The year was 2013 when Mercedes took its first (albeit shy) step toward performance EVs by introducing the SLS AMG Electric Drive. However, only nine cars were ever sold to customers, therefore making it even rarer than the Audi R8 E-Tron of which fewer than 100 examples were built. Fast forward a decade later, the peeps from Affalterbach still don't have a full-fat AMG EV as the EQE 53 and EQS 53 are not considered bespoke AMGs.
