    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Thanks. [edit:] I had a question here then "if you go 65 mph on level ground in temperate (let's say 70 F, no rain) conditions with a small amount of air conditioning or fan for fresh air without cracking the window, approximately what range what you expect to get?..." However, Tony Williams...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    I think the simple answer to your question is yes, a used B-Class ED is one of quite a few options I am considering, once I give the leased Leaf back within the next 2-3 months. The more complicated answer: - Noting that I retain a cheap (~$2k) used gasoline vehicle for longer faster trips...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Thanks, I am interested in comparing real-world range, though I am not sure the EPA numbers need to be dismissed outright in trying to get a sense of this (I've always found the EPA Leaf numbers to be more or less in-line with what I get). As basic as it may be, assuming the number you cite is...

    Maybe a useful point in looking at this is here: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/PowerSearch.do?action=Cars&path=1&year1=1984&year2=2016&vtype=Electric&pageno=1&sortBy=Hwy&tabView=0&rowLimit=200 2016 Mercedes-Benz B250e Automatic (A1), Electricity kwh/100 miles: 40 (combined city/highway)...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Thanks for the points Stretch2727. With respect to the EPA numbers, I think you make some good points, but I think a part of the point of my starting this thread is to ask "is that what's really going on here?" I don't know the answer, but to make a couple of points: - In the first year or...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Hi and thanks for the points: Can you say roughly at what speed? I know in my 2012 Leaf I probably started out with something roughly akin to the EPA rating (seventy something miles) but this was generally if I stuck to something like 45 mph, no heat, relatively level ground, and traveling...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Thanks for these prompt helpful answers. I was a bit surprised they didn't come with mph (i.e.: range @ x mph) but Stretch2727 did say they seem to get roughly the same on highway as in stop/go. I am a bit skeptical about this (my 2012 Leaf definitely is very different from this), but...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    Hi - Does anyone know if or when the EPA will issue range data for the B-Class Electric when charged to the full 31.5 kWh usable, 90% SOC area that Tony Williams has talked about? At the EPA site I see only a range estimate of 87 miles and this note in the spreadsheet for the 2015 model...
