Initially posted this to the wrong Forum section...deleted and moved it to News section...

I noticed this the other day and didn't see a post of it yet. Chicago Tribune review of the B-Class can be found at

It is more positive than the Car & Driver article (http://www.caranddriver.com/mercedes-benz/b-class-electric-drive#) and is written by a LEAF owner so it has some interesting comparisons.

Interesting... Susan Carpenter writes for the L.A. Times on a semi-regular basis and her vehicle reviews have been hit and miss over the years... She bobbled her Leaf review, some years back, for instance, by getting a number of facts and observations wrong... But I do strongly agree with her on one point: No QC port is a tragic oversight and I will not consider buying an MB until it gets one, probably some time next year. The RAV4EV gets along without one due to its 10Kw charger and much greater range, but the MB does not have the luxury of that range...
