    @Jamie are you taking all this in, or have you been scared off, some here get a bit of self importance creeping in, usually it’s always the same names? ?

    Hey Everyone, Was just wondering if anyone had gone ahead and ordered the A250e? I know the AP is quite high but the proclaimed ‘250mpg’ is quite attractive no? Even if you got half of that then surely you would be saving money on fuel in the long run? Let me know what you guys think

    Personal opinion, PHEV’s unless you do very short runs 95% of the time are not worth the AP.

    If you want a Mercedes that runs on electric, hope that the EQA comes along soon (There are rumours on here that it is) or go for any of the other great EV’s available if you want to save money, with a little bit of effort, you can save a fortune, well in excess of the AP, which on the whole are less for an EV than a PHEV.

    The next 12 months will see some interesting new EV’s coming hopefully.

    In short, the A250e PHEV unless your life fits around the 20 mile commute will probably cost you more than getting a standard ICE A Class, once you take the AP into consideration
