Mercedes cannot complete with battery cars so they are leaving the electric market in the US.

My model is more accurate than a generic "125 miles".

In this model I am ignoring temperature, regeneration models (very little impact), and altitude climb. Too unpredictable so I'm looking at optimal values. I am going to make one with max power and power limited for the safety of the batteries. I'll use same percentage ratios. Range is a math...

Rated battery range means nothing. It is marketing. The equations to figure out range is simple physics. It's algebra at this point. You need to know the car mass (M) (is it 1419kg for BEV?) Car speed (v) Battery Mass (Mb) (we don't know in kg) Effective frontal area (Aeff) (.7m^2) Range...

I want to calculate the range for the new BEV and the ReX. I am going to use the same weight for the engine. I am trying to find this on Samsung's site (or for a MSDS) but how much does a single 94 Ah weigh?

I see a lot of people asking about lease deals. Is there an equation or calculator that works in all states somewhere?

Hi long time lurker / wanter of an i3. My local dealers are all scumbags so I'm waiting for the next generation. If you check BMWusa.com configuration page, yesterday (Jan 6th) I noticed heated seats and level 3 charger options have been removed. I understand these are now considered standard...
