Less sexy than the Tesla, which I love, but these are available now and I like the utility and the price.

Mercedes B-series

Struggling with the whole multi-family dwelling thing though. Technically in California the HOA is required to allow install, but I'm not sure I want to foot the bill for an electrician and install since we rent.

Doesn't that car have an ICE?

Ummm … the link says "BMW B-series" but goes to the Mercedes-Benz website. I was thinking for a minute "WTF … BMW now owns Mercedes-Benz?".

Well at least while we're waiting for that to happen there will be something nicer than gas to drive in the meantime.

The electric B class Benz has a Tesla battery and drivetrain. As did the Honda CRV electric (no longer in production).

Merc hasn't announced any plan to sell the B electric in Canada yet. US only, ZEV credit states only.

The Earth will be fine. Humans, on the other hand, might be doomed for extinction.
