So I bought my car in late December 2015 ... I don't know if I have CarPlay or not, the whole system is just COMAND, is this possibly a $350 upgrade that I would have to do? Anyone know when this option was made available? Updated: I wrote December 2016 which is obviously impossible. But...

So I called my electric co and had it changed from a tiered rate plan, to the Time of Use plan. Which at their rates is $0.12 / kWh from the hours of 10pm to 8am. Have to wait till the end of Feb before the new rate plan will kick in though. Wondering if those who are using TOU rate plans...

Interesting, so I was watching it today and I was averaging about 2.4 mpkWh (lots of hills where I live, and somewhat steep grades at times). Why are you multiplying that number by 1.2 btw? And is there something specific about the car using regen? I use D- a lot so it regens the battery, but...

How are you guys measuring your per kWh efficiency? I'm seeing people post things about mpkWh of 2.5 - 3 but no idea how you get these numbers? And someone said they were doing 115mi during the summer? I live in CA which its always summer (except for actually getting what we'd call winter of...

So far looks like JuiceBox is winning the day. And since it is a portable charger, are you guys taking this with you on any trips where you might not find an actual charging station? After my 110mi trip and finding a 240v outlet, I want something fairly compact that I can put in the car when I...

Awesome story @vin, it's exactly the feeling I had going down that hill, but even though I had made it to a charging station it was broken, and all hope was lost. Reading that story though, I'm wondering, is the "reserve" on the B-class enough for another 10 miles? Not that I'm looking to try...

Yeah, had mbrace so the tow was free, and he took me home, so no loss in sleep. I did actually check PlugShare and it didn't show any problems with this location. Probably due to the 2 fast charging stations that appeared to be working fine. And misreading the hills, I went from 20% -> 2% in...

The trip up was fairly easy, stopped off at about the 45mile mark, plugged in and let it charge using range plus for about 3 hours which brought it back up to about 92%. The rest of the trip I had range anxiety due to lots of uphills and the GOM? fluttering between a 10 mile diff with battery...

Any word on if you'll bring something like this to iOS? Thanks!

Been thinking a lot about what EVSE to buy for the car. Wondering if there was any way on the B to schedule it to start charging at a specific time? I know the Tesla's and some other EVs have that, but unsure where this option might be hiding no the B. If not, I'd likely be looking at getting...

Just got a 2016 b250e and loving the car, quick little devil. Taking it for a much longer haul tomorrow (105mi) and so the range anxiety is high for the trip. Planning a stop over at some midpoint to charge for an hour and get some lunch. If I drive this thing 45 miles, I'm assuming in a 240V...
