Thanx! The wheels come at a surcharge. 19" AMG (think code 665). I think they look fantastic! ))

Spoke with dealer on Friday. Car due with them on 18 January, which will mean roughly an 8 month lead time. Let's hope Jan and Feb are mild months.

I've got a pdf I can email people I was sent from the dealer

cost to charge?

I was thinking about how much it woulsd cost to charge the battery.

6.4kwh

12.3p unit price

6.4x 12.3 = 78p aprx.

Is that right? Think there must be some loss in the transfer.

What does.everyone think?

Still not sure how long I've got to wait! Lease company suggesting Jan/Feb but no definitive build date yet!

I didn't realise you could order wheels other than the 17 and 18" options in the configurator. Having said that mine will be a company lease car so upping to 19s would take the BiK even higher!

Will definitely make yours unique!

Cant think why you would argue with the maths, I would come to the same conclusion. Who is you energy provider at 12.3p, is it a night rate ?

Sorry, should have specified... Car bought in Norway... A little different setup, no big packages. You basically have to go through the pricelist and check the options you wish. Makes starting price look reasonable and final bill shocking. The 19"s did not come for free, i can tell you that much..

Calc is correct, although note that you'll never actually do a 0-100% charge. Lowest the battery will go is around 10% so you're probably putting more like 5.6kwh in max.

My electric is 8.46p / kwh (I chose a higher daily standing charge and a lower unit rate as the wife has a Nissan Leaf) so it's less than 50p for around 15miles for me!

All very confusing
When I charge my car I get an email from Mercedes telling me it is fully charged but both my home charger and a Chargemaster post will continue to deliver for another 20-25 minutes.
I find when i use a Chargemaster post I note that the screen always report that it delivered in excess of 6kw at times when the car has shown that the battery is 10% charged at the outset.

Interesting, and surprising!!

My charge point at home has a meter to show kwh delivered - will log the start and stop figures tonight, see how much I use and report back tomorrow.

I believe the battery sits in a heated/air conditioned compartment to keep it at an optimal temperature and there will also be some losses through the onboard AC/DC converter.

6.5kWh used last night on a 10% to 100% charge. I did have the pre-heating set for this morning which will have consumed a small amount I would expect.

Thanks for doing that, which is rather as I suspected it would be. I have ordered an energy monitor (WiTenergy) which connects via WiFi to my iPad from Amazon to discover my usage.
Because my Rolec Pod was installed outside of the government scheme I don't have the luxury of a consumption meter.

Did you receive an email from Mercedes advising your car was 100% charged before the process was completed ?
