I wonder if the inadvertent application of the cruise control combined with the collision prevention assist front radar caused the car to take control of the acceleration. I have a feeling that that it will never happen again as long as no driver will grab the wrong levers.

So this range test was done on an extended range charge? Then I could understand the 9 miles while still reading 100%. Did you ever really hit a turtle mode? I would expect the E-Cell gauge to show a minimum if the car was in turtle mode.

Good information. Was this a standard charge? It is interesting that you got 9 miles covered before the battery percentage moved from 100%. . Did the E-Cell gauge dip down at the end of the run?

So the battery is 100% healthy. And you are driving carefully. Three 23 mile trips per full charge. You are coming up 3kWh per trip short of the 90 mile range that others are regularly getting. Each cold start and climate control use during the trip on 20F days could account for that much...

Here is another possibility to consider with the sub 0C overnight temps. You are only charging at work so the car is not plugged in overnight. I wonder what and when the battery heater is doing. See if you can take note of the battery percentage toward the end of the trip home when everything is...

The cabin heater is a 6kW PTC element high voltage electric. The AC compressor is an HV 5kW electric and is used for cooling the car and can be used for cooling the battery through a dedicated chiller in the HV coolant circuit. There is also a heater in the HV battery coolant circuit but I don't...

From the Ecomodders site. . http://ecomodder.com/forum/EM-hypermiling-driving-tips-ecodriving.php . Energy efficient driving techniques are foreign to many drivers so these tips can also help you get better range from your EV.

What is the rest of the trip screen info? 2.0mpkWh and what else. Average speed? Elapsed time? 2 hours with the heater on costs you 10 miles . The other owner with the range issue was showing 2.2 miles/ kWh and an average of 27mph which indicates a lot of stop and go. Every time you step on the...

The other 62 mile ranger took his car to the dealer and the tech got 107 miles out of it. . "I've had the "Battery Discharged" warning at somewhere below 70 before. But the dealer just said that a tech drove it home and back for a total of about 107 miles. I don't get it. Even if we drive...

Then your battery capacity is at least 100%. 2 miles x 30kWh =60 miles. Although there is conjecture that MB reports consumption including losses from the wall to wheels which would look more like 28kWh total. I talk to a guy on ecomodders that recently got a Nisan Leaf and he is occasionally...

Hitch bike carriers are very handy.

Just look at the trip meters and tell us they say your average consumption is.

Thanks! The download works and is lightning fast.

What does your average consumption show on the display? 2.0 miles/ kWh?

Will you really only get 60 miles? You have to do a range test to really know.

Not sure why Panasonic decided to run the 3,000 cycle test down to only 3.6v. The discharge graph doesn't look like the cells are really suffering until a rest voltage of 3.3v and when under a 2C load of 3.0v. 3.6v was leaving quite a bit of power on the table. I would expect a similarly long...

Sorry but this is definitely not true. The Panasonic charts show a 20% loss in capacity after only 300 cycles when charging to 4.2 and discharging all the way to 2.5. If Mercedes did this, the battery would lose 20% after only 35,000 miles. The next chart shows only 12% loss after 3,000 cycles...

So what kind of price did they hit you with? How would that compare to a GLK or C class?

Gladly, Mercedes has decided to stay well away from these values which result in a 600 cycle life of the cells to 80%. Running 4.05v to 3.6v shows tests of 3,000 cycles to 85% and the line is flattening out. Do you think we could actually see 6,000, 50% cycles, to 70% remaining capacity with...

I see what I did wrong. I used the 4v charge cut off voltage of the MB as the voltage figure when I figured the power when I should have used the average voltage over the cycle which will be about 3.5v. 3.5v times 2900ma times 3696 cells = 37.514 kWh.
