The issue is completely fixed. I never had the issue, but I was getting a LOT of warnings -- visit workshop, etc. No more. I have driven 14,000 miles on the car and would not hesitate to recommend it. Just know the WORST range is as low as 72-78 miles in frigid cold winter, and it can be...

The beauty of the unit I am recommending is that it does 16 Amp 240v charging on a 20 Amp circuit, which is much less expensive than a 30 Amp circuit to install. The Clipper Creek LCS-20P requires a NEMA 14-30 circuit. This requires a 6-20R socket. Here is the link (I bought mine for $329)...

EVAccess app for iOS and Apple Watch works great! Build 24 has the climate control/pre-conditioning feature so you never need to use the Mercedes app again. Well done!!!

Hey group, I have 40 Amp charging (Jesla) in my main garage , but I needed a secondary portable charger @ 16Amps for overnight charging and this unit can be purchased for as little as $329 -- you just have to check Amazon every day or use a service like camelcamelcamel to alert you. I think it...

The short answer is no. The long answer is IF you own your B-Class ED and want to modify it to accept CHAdeMo you can do a conversion that www.quickchargepower offers. It's called JdeMo -- it actually may not be available yet -- THEN you can use a CHAdeMO adapter for Tesla... My $0.02 is...

Silly the engineers didn't think of a manual override to the electromechanical latch.

The documentation is the battery warranty addendum (2014 models) or in the manual itself 2015 & 2016 models. But, to convince the dealer ( service dept) you have to call Mercedes CAC ( Customer Assistance Center) and get them to call the dealership on your behalf. Feel free to mention my...

Whenever possible, do it yourself. Amazon is great for coin cells. The dealers look for ways to make money whenever you bring your car in.

I took my B-Class in 12/21/15 for the Recall software and Battery Certification. Happy to report that Jose Mena, my service advisor at Mercedes of Nanuet, NY, called me back to confirm that the entire service visit will be free of charge, except for the NYS Yearly Inspection ($10). Software...

OMG, I'm going in Monday, for the recall, battery maintenance certification, and NYS inspection. Wish me luck! If Nanuet, NY dealership is a problem, I'm going to Manhattan Mercedes, JeffRay are they good?

If you have radar based regen (D-Auto) you can't have the illuminated star.

Sounds normal. Anything below 50 degrees is "cold" to an EV. Range is not much better from 50-65 degrees. Over 65 degrees is when the range starts getting good. 85-90 degrees is the sweet spot. Rain hurts range, more friction, and windshield washer motors. And the heater -- it's mostly the...

StevePL any idea where I can find this document? My dealer is telling me it is a paid service.

How do we know that this announcement applies to the B-Class Electric Drive in the USA? I only see it as the "B-Class" which is mostly a gas/diesel model in the rest of the world.

I think 5-6 miles worse if you don't pre-condition.......

On extended range charge, winter tires, I'm getting 75 miles range in 35 degree weather.

2016 is same as 2015 except for color. The name has changed to B250e. So it has Keyless Go as standard which the 2014 model lacks. All sales have been halted because of a recall involving a software patch which needs to be applied to all B-Class Electric Drive and B-Class B250e. The...

The UPS would not work anyway. L1 chargers draw too much power for each outlet. (Like a hair dryer) I think it would make the UPS trip its outlets .. If you got it to hold, it would run for about 12 minutes (half load). and the Weight is 124.0 (lbs.) Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) DC power into AC...
