    The end is near for the B250e

    Some time ago, I suspected that Mercedes was planning to discontinue production of the B250e. It seems that it's become official: https://blog.caranddriver.com/bye-bye-baby-b-mercedes-spikes-its-electric-subcompact-eyes-more-mainstream-evs/ It was fun while it lasted but there's no doubt that...

    Hi Guys, I'm picking up an Espar D5E diesel heater and with my guru's help, will be installing it later this month. It's the hydronic version that we're going to tie into both the cabin and battery heater lines. If all goes well, I'm looking forward to all that glorious heat without killing...

    B250 Owner's reliability experiences

    Hello everyone. After months of EV research, I've run the gauntlet of Spark, Focus Electric, and have finally decided that the B250ED makes the most sense for us. I've found a low mileage 2014 with under 5K miles with all the recalls up to date. I can't believe that used EV's are available at...
