I BOUGHT THIS ELECTRIC MERCEDES FOR UNDER $3,000! FULL TOUR, PROBLEMS, & MY FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

Kyle has acquired a 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive for an astonishingly low price of under $3,000, continuing his trend of purchasing budget EVs. The car, which utilizes Tesla Model S running gear, presents a unique proposition, though it arrived with a non-charging issue, mirroring a problem his previous Nissan Leaf had. The reviewer highlights the car's spacious interior, comfortable seating, and surprisingly peppy performance, noting its quick acceleration and even the ability to perform burnouts. However, the vehicle is plagued by numerous warning lights, including a persistent 'visit workshop' message, and potential issues with the 12-volt system and motor bearings. The immediate plan is to transport the car to QC Charge for diagnosis and repair, particularly focusing on the charging system. While the low purchase price is a major draw, the potential for significant repair costs and limited aftermarket support for this rare model are considerable concerns for future ownership.
