If you stay between 3.6v and 4.05 you can get 3000 cycles to 80% of original capacity. That will be a pack voltage of 370v (just above the normal charge cut off) to 330v. Maybe when I get our car I can log some actual values while I'm driving the range test to see where these numbers fall on the...

Compare to a curve of an 8s 100Ah GBS LiFePO4 battery. The Panasonics seem as though they are not yet struggling even at the recommended charge cut off of 4.2v. Whereas there is no sense in pushing the Fe chemistry of the GBS beyond 3.4v per cell even though they are usually balanced at 3.6v or...

Charge/ discharge graphs for the Panasonic NCR18650 cells reportedly used by Tesla in the MB electric B Class battery. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So if my info is correct regarding the 3696 number of cells, even at a conservative 4.0v charge cut off, and 2900 mAh, the MB battery multiplies out to 42.873 kWh. Exactly the same as the Toyota? At the 28 kWh cut off of the MB this is a very conservative 65%. Knowing this, it seems that regular...

Some info on the B Class electric battery as stated in my online MB tech training. . . . .

I wouldn't say rule out. I might hope for minimize. 0% on the dash might really mean 10% in the battery. 60%-40%-60% is the ideal range if you are only using 20 miles.

With Lithium batteries, the further you stay away from the extreme end of the charge or discharge cycle the better. At either end you are yanking the ions out from one side of the electrode where they have been stuck and are the last ones to leave, and jamming them across into the other...

It seems strange that a company as big as Progressive wouldn't know this car yet. They have been on the road in California since July.

There is no spare but they are not run flats? How can that be? Is there a can of fix-a-flat?

Can't you charge it up better? Constantly running around using the last 10% of the battery is bad for it.

What are people paying for insurance for the B class electric? I called my company (Progressive) for a quote with the VIN but they had no info on this new car. They called me back the next day with a quote of $1,120/ year which is very reasonable but they said this was based on a guess according...

Unfortunately, this lack of a spare is becoming a trend with MB. The CLA is supposed to be an entry car. Wait until these new conquests that are stretching to get into the car find out that a new set of run flat tires will cost $1,200 and only last 20,000 miles. And no one will plug a simple...

Wow! 24 cents. Any way to get a demand meter with reduced pricing at night?

The motor assembly lists for $12,340 and there are 4 in stock in the USA.

Did you have to leave the car while they get the part?

Is there a spare tire?

Nissan recently announced $5,500 with core for their battery which actually makes the Leaf viable to own rather than just lease.

$0.138/ kWh for my electric bill this month. . . . .

List price of the battery module.

I checked on the price of the high voltage battery for the Mercedes B class electric. $20,482 and there are 10 in stock in Jacksonville.
