B-Class Electric Drive: Charging -- Mercedes-Benz

[@harinkulasekara8312]

How much would be battery replacement cost of B250e ?

[@zehn916]

How do you check for battery degradation? The leaf has bars.

[@xtrsmith]

My B Class is brand new and I have never seen it read higher than 71 miles at the start of a fully-charged battery on the display despite it being 100% full.

[@xtrsmith]

And that is in E plus driving mode.

[@ReggistarBTC]

That's terrible... Its supposed to be 85miles at least? Any update?

[@GrrMeister]

*4 years ago right 2015 - Well I was in Dortmund in late 2016 as a selected number of high priority customers, and can now reveal that in 2020 Mercedes is launching a Hybrid 'A' & 'B' Class that will cover up to 50 Miles pure electric, and astounding MPG overall. Such is progress. I have a B200CDi AMG (W246) which is fantastic and have achieved max of 74.3 MPG and 143 MPH (Not at the same time) but overall 20k + Miles 52.4 MPG with a lot of high speed/Town and Local Runs.*

Why did Mercedes skip the fast charge option? Seams like a no-brainer. I noticed the RAV4 did the same thing. Both have partnerships with Tesla. Was there an behind the scenes arrangement with Tesla to not offer this feature as it might canibalize Tesla sales? I guess if it was behind the scenes, you won't likely admit it on a public comment on here...The i3 REX looks pretty impressive with its Range Extender....

lol mane

[@CMCNestT]

How much more range can you get with Range charge?

[@mbusa]

***** -- A fully charged B-Class Electric Drive will deliver approximately 85 miles of range.

+Mercedes-Benz USA thats too little:/ I realy like electric cars but their autonomy ar so poor . it's time for a new,more advance, battery production technology ;)

[@arenjay3278]

It lets you charge to 93% of the battery instead of 77%. EPA rating of 105 miles vs 87. More if you drive slower.

[@thatpersonsmusic]

However, in most real world situations, you’ll get around 95

[@black89arrow]

Can i used the provided 120 charger in 240 volt outlet ?!?

[@arenjay3278]

Likely not but a modern charge cord can be used like that and are around $100. In 2017 they worked like that but not in 2014 etc... depends on year of your car.

[@FatherofAlexis]

Mercedes VASTLY undersold & downplayed this car. I've had mine for several years and its performance exceeds specs. I routinely get 100 miles to a single charge. And it only takes 8 hours, not 30 to full charge but even that is from 0% to 100%. They should have highlighted that is does from 15% to 70% in under 3 hours. And mind you this is a low 120 v, you won't notice it on your electric bill. You can do 240v and charge the whole thing in under an hour, that 15-70% in under 20 min. It's incredibly quick (tesla motor) with room for a family and cargo. I've owned a few Mercedes and this one surprised me as my favorite. Went to production before EV's were cool, I guess.

[@LostInIce4]

No quick charge capability?

[@adnanjusic4890]

Yeah there ar phones with quick charge system that cann be fully charged in about 20 mints...instead 2 hours! SO WHY THAT TEHNOLOGY AR NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CARS ?

[@LPyourplay]

+Adnan Jusic it is, just not in the Mercedes

[@adnanjusic4890]

Shame on MB :D

[@gegwen7440]

30 hours for a full charge ! Wow as quick as that, where do I sign.

[@kenny4593]

Only 85 friggin miles? What the hec are yall smoking back there?

[@troyhargrove7297]

My charging flap wont open

[@isaiahatuatasi2232]

Did you figure out how to open the flap?

[@captlarry-3525]

Not smart enough to create an interlock that prevents driving while charging ?yikes !

[@GrrMeister]

*Check out your **_Electric Bill,_** and you will quickly realise this is not saving 'fuel' costs by much, it will on most cases take at least 12 years to recoup additional costs. However 'You are Saving The Planet" so sleep easy ! and you now have a 21st Century Miracle - a Car that can do around 100 Miles on Electric Power, after that Push & Shove !*

[@mykiaslyn]

I don't have this particular electric car... I have a used i3. I've gone from 100$ per month in gas to 25$ a month in electricity. Not sure if it's saving the planet but it's been a blast to drive!

[@MylesV]

I went from $200/month on gas with a hybrid to $30/month in electric with an EV. I wake up with a full charge each morning, 100 miles is more than enough. My car was $12k used so no additional costs over a similar gas car.

[@mxyfn]

@@MylesV are you in the US? I’m looking at one as well as my gas is about $225 month as my daily commute is 60 miles. What year do you have? I thought the range only went to 80 miles. Thanks!

[@theolnypou]

16 cents to go to work and back.
