    We will pick up the P0 production hardware set from the waterjet company today, and send it to the fabrication shop. The first ten production JdeMO v3.0 circuit boards for the Mercedes are in production (100 PCBs have already been received... this step is populating the boards with components)...

    MB/Tesla Motor replaced

    The Tesla motor used in the B-Class ED / B250e is shared with the 2012-2014 Toyota RAV4 EV. As the RAV4 fleet is older, the motor problems are well known. Leaking coolant is known that can enter the inverter and damage the electronics. Bearings wearing out is known (with motor noise). We...

    How many Amps?

    Your Mercedes uses a Tesla onboard charger with any voltage between 100 and 250 volts. The max amperage is 40 amps (which can provide 9.6kW @ 240 volts * 40 amps). I recommend a 50 amp electrical circuit to be installed by your electrician, with a NEMA 14-50R wall outlet / receptacle. Then...

    CHAdeMO port for B-Class ED "JdeMO"

    We started "monkeying around" with JdeMO for the B-Class ED today. I think it's going to be pretty straight forward. Link to photo: http://s565.photobucket.com/user/TonyWilliams/media/Mercedes%20Benz%20B-Class%20ED/IMG_6900.jpg.html?filters[user]=90066677&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

    Adjusting the charge current

    You don't need to set anything in the car to use a 30/32 amp Clipper Creek unit. Just plug it in. The car will pull either 30 or 32 amps (whatever the maximum is from the Clipper Creek). You're wasting your time with menus.

    Which EVSE for the B Class?

    JESLA adjusts from 100 to 250 volts and 12 to 40 amps, automatically. You don't have to know anything about electricity and no installation required. If you have a limitation of wiring, you could just use a 16 amp plug (NEMA 5-20) at any voltage from 100 to 250 volts. JESLA won't overload your...

    Excellent 16 Amp Charging (L2) @ 240v -- recommendation

    You can safely use the 5-20 plug at any voltage up to 264 with JESLA. It will pull 16 amps (80% of a 20 amp circuit). We generally offer an adapter for 20 amp circuits from L6-20 to NEMA 5-20. The adapter itself needs to be clearly marked that it operates up to 240 V and is only safe and...

    Excellent 16 Amp Charging (L2) @ 240v -- recommendation

    William, please just get a 15 or 20 amp plug for your JESLA... you don't need another EVSE. JESLA will not exceed the maximum charge rate of the plug, even though the Mercedes / Tesla onboard charger can pull 40 amps. JESLA will operate at 100-250 volts, so any household voltage will work...
