A standard power plug in can charge the batteries in 4 hours which gives you a range of 115 miles.
Performance
Driving experience of a fully electric Mercedes is not different from any of their other models. The lightweight engine is compensated by the battery pack which adds some weight in the rear.
With a set of aerodynamic concepts, balanced weight, the downforce, and road grip makes it easy to control and drive for both short and long distances.
Exterior
The design of the e-car focuses on building a dynamic vehicle with sporty elements.
Looking at the front of the electric B-Class, Mercedes includes the trademark grill as one of the key visual elements, it comes with extended lights that crossover to the side. The rear lights have the same extended light design, placed under the wide rear window.
Interior
Even if the electric B-Class is dependent on energy storage for its engine, the battery placement beneath the seats save interior space. The gauges can be found in their traditional position while vents have been placed between the driver and the passenger above the central panel.
Mercedes designed the interior with the same attention to detail and high quality finishing as any of their other models from the same class.
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive has what it takes to compete with gas powered vehicles. The powerful electric motor and battery pack allows you to get around town with sufficient range, up to 115 miles on a full charge.
