Here’s a first look at Mercedes Benz all-electric «B Class Electric Drive» car. This has a Tesla battery system and powertrain.
It competes with the BMW i3 that just started shipping, but it has a longer range (120 miles) and is more comfortable, bigger and feels better.
The press is getting first look next week and I was the first one to see it, says Mercedes Benz PR.

Exclusive: first look at Mercedes-Benz' new all-electric car. I got the first look, most of the press sees this next week.
It has a Tesla-made powertrain and battery and has a longer range than the new competitive BMW i3 (the Mercedes Benz goes 120 miles on a charge).
It also has more safety features than BMW, listen along in this first look.
More coming from my visit to Mercedes' R&D lab in Silicon Valley. All sorts of fun things are being developed there, really amazing place.
Can't wait to try this car!
Nice preview, want to see more of the exterior. Guess I'll Google it. Excited to see Tesla components being used also.
Here is a look at Mercedes Benz new electric vehicle .
Can I have an electric car without all the whistle and bells please? Not interested in having a car that communicates with the internet, letting the NSA snoop even more into our private lives. This is the only downfall of electric cars or cars with embedded GPS systems.
Nice ride!
If the range is up to 300 miles then I'm sold.
125 Miles ??? that is not true…only 85 miles..
The MB website says this car has only 85 miles of range. The salesman in the video is lying.
MB is way behind in the game.. Glad to see they moving up in the world..
oh yeah, so its another Tesla made by Merc!
Just a few minor points to ponder over:
(1) even if it deals with 50 miles easily, it still HAS to be charged EVERY night
(2) easily take off 10% from the 120 mile range claim in summer and even more in winter
(3) you still need plenty of fast charge stations on highways to make long journeys viable (Tesla chargers are propriety and few at the present time)
(4) only for the fan boys. There are much more affordable alternatives available.
I'll stick with my gas C-class for now or get a hybrid.
