VW has it too. It is hidden in the emblem on the back which flips up when reverse is engaged.

Yep, that is definitely not right... I think a trip to MB is in order...

I frankly do not see the point of E+... It does not do anything that the driver himself can not do...

Proper adjustment would be to just be able to see the side of the car when your head is next to the glass... Likewise for the right side when your head is in the middle of the car...

There is a reason why they call it a Guess O Meter!

They measure power draw from the wall and drive until the car stops. It is basically miles divided by power.

How do you figure 10%... The Leaf is 6 Kw and the MB is 10 Kw...

That is exactly how the EPA calculates their efficiency numbers (Mpge)... And it does not surprise me at all that the Spark is more efficient than the Leaf... As Car and Driver discovered in their wind tunnel tests, the Leaf is actually not very aerodynamic... It was last in the field that...

I prefer the way Nissan does it with the switch option to not lock, lock always, or unlock after done charging (for use with public charging stations)... That said, it is very easy to defeat the lock on the Leaf...

They are also less efficient than regular LRR tires...

It is not automatic braking, simply distance variable regen... The car does not have automatic breaking. And, yes, it can be turned off. Only the models with regen paddles have it.

Yep, if the CHP stops you, you'll get a ticket the same as if you didn't have them at all. A friend did that on his PiP and got stopped and ticketed. He went to court and the judge refused to dismiss it. And it is an expensive ticket... $812 in the case of my friend...

That is no longer necessary on the 2015 B. It went to a full connectivity wireless fob. Whether or not, and when, it will filter down to the ED remains to be seen...

The big deal breaker for me would be the "$0.25/mile over 30,000 miles..." There is no way that I could live with such a low mileage allowance of 10,000 miles a year...

I'm going to assume you mean motor since EVs don't have an engine...

It defaults to 8 amps but can be set to 12.

It can be an instant ticket, depending on the whim of the officer! They MUST be on the vehicle or you are considered to be in the car pool lane illegally and it is a big fine! A friend of mine did it with his Volt, got ticketed by the CHP, and the judge refused to dismiss it. With fees, it...

The whole range. In fact, there may be some things that the ICE got that the ED does not...

The whole idea is that anyone can charge their ED at any dealership, regardless of where they bought it, so this dealer was not exactly being magnanimous...

FYI: "The Kia Soul EV has received its official EPA ratings. The all-electric range is 93 miles – putting it higher than the Nissan LEAF’s 84 miles, the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive’s 87 miles, and the BMW i3’s 81 miles. Interestingly, in the city, the Soul electric vehicle’s city range is...
