Review

Based on the five-door version of the A-Class, the battery-powered electric A-Class E-CELL is powered by a quiet, locally emission-free electric drive with a power output of 95 hp and torque of 290 Nm. Thanks to its two high-efficiency lithium-ion batteries it delivers a range of more than 200 km.

As for the performance, the E-CELL takes 5.5 seconds to accelerate from 0-60 km/h and is able to reach a top speed of 150 km/h (electronically controlled). A kick-down function is used to deliver maximum acceleration, according to the current charge level and battery temperature. The A-Class E-CELL features a special thermomanagement system that keeps the high-voltage batteries cooled inside an ideal temperature gap. This system is based on a low-temperature cooling circuit.

The charging process for the E-CELL has been developed in a flexible way. The batteries can be refilled in single-phase 230-volt sockets, three-phase sockets in a household wall-box, and public recharging points. When using a single-phase 230-volt network eight hours will be necessary to accumulate the energy required for a range of 100 km. With the wall-box or at a roadside recharging point the process takes three hours.

Together with other European automakers and energy utilities Daimer has agreed on the standardization of charging plugs and sockets, which is seen as a key prerequisite for the spread of electric mobility. Mercedes-Benz planned a 500 production at Rastatt from autumn 2010 that will be leased to selected customers in several European countries, including Germany, France and the Netherlands.

A-Class

A-Class was launched in 1997 and became Mercedes-Benz entry level model. The mini multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) has 3 or 5 doors. A second generation was introduced in 2004. 50 thousand units were expected to be sold that year and according to Mercedes that number was met even before the vehicles reached the dealers. However, the A-Class wasn’t very well received by some groups that didn’t like to see Mercedes producing cars for less prestigious segments. more
