    Next EV?

    Both work, but thanks for asking! :) The e-golf does have fast charging and some pretty cool safety features. I did make contact with the sales person at MB who handles lease return purchases. But the e-golfs were selling fast (saw 3 leave the lot to new homes in the 2 days I was there, and...

    Next EV?

    Drum roll please... My next E.V. is an e-golf! A bit early, but the deal was just too good to pass up. With nothing else fitting the bucket list, the e-golf is the closest to my perfect E.V. with good range, fun to drive, great safety features and non leather seats. The next few years should...

    How To See Battery Charge State On iPhone?

    The charger we bought for the home, from JuiceNet, has a great app that not only shows the charge progress but also allows us to set when the charging starts. Of course, this will only work at home. Chargepoint app shows progress as well when charging on their network. Welcome to the b250e...

    For real? GOM says 129/119/109

    The car remembers very little. Drive mode, shift mode, inside air circulation - all those need to be reset each and every time the car is started as the reset to the default.

    Are you planning to buy a Model Y to replace your B Class?

    jeffray, I had an e-golf in 2015, and loved how it drove. It ended up being declared a lemon due to many issues that VW bought it back. My understanding is that 2019 may be the last year for the e-golf, with all the different i.d. vehicles about to come out.

    Rattle

    Had this issue, and dealer took care of it. After transporting the car from one state to another, rattle is back. Going to the, new, dealer this week.

    Next EV?

    Thanks, Charles. Leaf is not my cup of tea, no pun intended. Looking at trying to purchase my current B (if the dealer will cooperate when it gets closer to November). Looking online, there are a fair number of 16-17 used B's to be had and far less than my cars purchase price on the MBFS site...

    Next EV?

    Four months to go... Here is what I know so far: 1) MB will not extend the lease unless I have an order for another MB. The EQ is too big and expensive 2) Finally sat in a Tesla 3. Lovely car, but sits low and while I may get used to it, my body thinks over wise 3) The kona EV looks nice, no...

    Next EV?

    That is great new, JeffRay. Indeed perfect timing. Mine is coming up this Nov. as I had hoped that the M3 would be the next car. It sits too low for me. :( Once / if inventory levels of the Kona EV even out, will test drive that one. Not willing to pay "ransom" for it. As it gets closer to...

    Next EV?

    I keep seeing Tesla 3 on the road, and now that the base model is around the corner, giving it some thought. What is holding me back is how much I am loving the higher seating in the B and worried I'll miss it.

    Next EV?

    Thank you for the kind answers. The EQC may be too big a car for me. The Kona is a wait and see what options they offer. Happy holidays to you all.

    Next EV?

    In less than a year (10 months to be exact) my lease will be up and a new EV will be welcomed home. The question is, of course, which one. Was hoping that the Volvo XC40 electric would be out in time, but found out that it is two years away. The MB C is too big, as are the I Pace and E-Tron...

    Rear Head rests

    KazeGo, There is a thread on here somewhere about this topic, and it seems that some have had success with "whacking" the headrest all the way down. Try as I may, have not been able to achieve this, so YMWV.

    When we can choose 200+ mile electric vehicles

    While the Tesla Y may fit my needs, there is little chance it will be ready when my current lease is up (11/19) The Kona is an option, but not a fan of the exterior styling. If Volvo gets the XC40 in EV in time, with non leather seat option, I'd jump on that one. Otherwise, not much else coming...
