    B-Class ED in Georgia

    What is the name of the Mercedes dealer in NJ from which you leased your 2014 MBe? I was told by a Mercedes dealer in Maryland that I could buy the MBE but I could not lease it because I live in Virginia. Does anyone know of MB dealers in other "energy" states that will lease to a customer in...

    Leasing

    A Mercedes dealer in Maryland, the closest dealer to me that can handle the MBCED, has told me that I cannot lease the MBCED because I live in Virginia, but I could buy it.

    2014 B-Class Electric Drive at the Geneva Motor Show

    I drove an 8-hours round trip to test drive the MBCED today in a compliance state; my state is not a compliance state. I really liked it!: the high quality interior, the smoothness, the acceleration, the recuperation paddles, the collision avoidance features. I drove it for 28 miles with lots...

    What kind of range are you getting?

    I have found that not to be true. I have gotten estimates close to the EPA numbers for my 2012 LEAF by doing a normal around-town trip and recording the battery % used and the miles driven and doing a simple calculation: range estimate = (miles driven)*100/(% used). This also can show how much...

    What kind of range are you getting?

    I hope you will do some normal driving for more than 50 miles several times after charging for full range and let us know how it does.

    JESLA full 40 amp Portable Charge Cable

    What are the specs of the charging cable that comes with the MBCED in the US? Does it handle both 120V & 240V?

    152 miles service engine light came on

    It appears that BMW & Mercedes are using the 10 compliance states this year to work out the bugs in their BEVs before selling them in all 48 states next year. I hope Mercedes fixes all the bugs in the MBCED before I order one to replace my 2012 LEAF early next year.

    Keyless-go option

    That is one of my three biggest minuses for the MBCED. The 2nd is lack of a CHAdeMO charging capability and the 3rd is the low efficiency (84 MPGe).

    Car and Driver - BMW i3 vs. Mercedes B Class Electric.

    Several web pages I have read state that the MBCED has a 10-kW charger similar to the Tesla, which also has an optional 20-kW charger. If that is correct, the new Clipper Creek HCS-60 11.5-kW (240-volts x 48-amps) charging station might be ideal for the MBCED...

    And BMW has been having similar troubles with the i3. I am glad that I do not have to decide between the LEAF and the MBCED next year!

    Leasing

    Does Mercedes have a disposition fee when the leased vehicle is returned in addition to the lease-application fee? If so, what is it? Nissan has a $365 disposition fee when I return my LEAF in May 2015.

    Has anyone bought or leased a MBCED with the Range Package? If so, what has been your experience with it?

    Leasing

    Is there any indication of how long it takes to fill an order for a specific build?

    Leasing

    Is a down payment other than the $7500 tax credit required. Is there any indication that the 2015 model will have the CSS Combo quick charger or CHAdeMO quick charger as an option?

    Any delivery info?

    When someone gets a MBCED with the range package, please do some trips with and without it when charging and tell us of your experience.
