    Interesting testing results found about charging, range, etc

    I do not understand some charts. The car is always stopped when charging. Why three columns . Some information is useful but charging, I do not know.

    15 amps or 20 amps

    At work I charged for free. In my case a 208VAC EVSE worked for me. Now as a retired person I charge at 240VAC at 40A. As much as I drive I could get away with 120VAC trickle charging, I charge at 75% of the 80% default. The EVSE was upgraded to 40A but just because,my 30A EVSE was fine. The...

    Radar Assisted Braking

    the NOSE radar is completely separate from the side blind spot sensors. The real question is that it might show an error when unplugged I replaced the cone on my 2014 but the module remained plugged in. I really do not know. And it is too much work to test.

    Radar Assisted Braking

    Every once in a while the car brakes on its own. I usually ignore it and continue what I was doing.

    2015 B Class For Sale - Low Miles - Still Warrantied

    I was Emailed about a Tesla# with an intermediate battery. It was 47K with only the color option. I really think the 35K car is ********. Elon has admitted that he can not make a cheap 3/ I want a basic car with only the color option. I certainly do not want the autopilot option.

    Fast charging Q - B Class UK

    Bear in mind that Tony is an optimist person. He always comes through in the end but he announces stuff prematurely. Just be prepared to wait.

    If you read the offering that is an interest deposit with the final price of 3K. Fortunately I do not need L3 charging. The RAV4EV unit took a very long time to come to fruition. Tony is an optimist and he always announces things prematurely. Eventually he does come through.

    Fast charging Q - B Class UK

    Quick Charge Power's Chademo unit has been available for the RAV4 for quite some time. Some dealers work around it and some require it removed. It is up to the individual dealer. Quick charge has announced the availability of units for the B since the drive train is similar and the protocol is...

    Considering buying a used B Class - US - Battery Concerns?

    23K was likely below cost. I know my lease was subsidized and it has a large payoff. In truth it will not pay to keep it. Also since there is no 2018 the dealer may not want to deal on the 2017. My car listed for just under 49K and I leased it for 33K. That included the fed credit and Mercedes...

    New to Mercedes Benz B Class

    All cars have the battery degrade. Mercedes used very conservative metrics. Some have reported no observable denigration. But expect at least 5% battery denigration over the years. You might very well be lucky but expect the worst.

    2015 B class for sale

    The fit and finish is disconcerting, A review car was terrible I only want a mythical car with only the color option. It may never happen. In the mean time my B totally fits my needs. It would be nice for greater range but my only car does fine.

    Considering buying a used B Class - US - Battery Concerns?

    The nice thing about Mercedes dealers is that they supply loaners. My stupid wide U turn took 2 months and all of the parts came from Germany. I had a loaner the whole time. It just hurt to buy gas!

    What is the range at 100% charge?

    There is no such thing as 100% charge in a B. With0ut range extender it charges to 80%. With range extender it will charge to 90% for that session only.

    Considering buying a used B Class - US - Battery Concerns?

    The battery warranty is only tor a complete failure. It does not cover loss of capacity. Figure 5-10% per year of loss. If the car will fill your needs than great just do not expect mew range. .

    My car may never happen. The only option I want is color. The Autopilot is too buggy and you can add it anytime for an additional Thousand.
