We're unclear how to translate "throwdown" throughout German, but Daimler executive Thomas Weber appears to achieve the concept down pat. Weber, whom heads research and development at Daimler's Mercedes-Benz unit, tells Automotive News Europe which the B-Class Electric Drive will compare favorably to the BMW i3 - and essentially anything powered by a battery – when it proceeds sale next year.
Weber says the B-Class EV can have a real-world single-charge range of 125 miles and a top speed of 100 miles per hour. He also said the five-seat model could be "extremely competitive" on price, though he didn't elaborate enough to offer a number. The B-Class EV debuts in the us next spring and will begin sales in Europe next slip. No range extender is planned for the model. Mercedes-Benz unveiled the B-Class electric on the New York Auto Show throughout March. The automaker said back then that the model would offer 134 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque.
Weber also estimated which the Mercedes-Benz S 500 plug-in cross, which also becomes available to the public next year, would have the ability to achieve fuel economy of with regards to 78 miles per gallon. Daimler also started selling its Smart ForTwo Electric in the us in May.
