B-Class Electric Drive to roll in Paris

An electric version of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class will lead a battery of EV models at this week's Paris Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.

The concept ED (electric drive) has been developed in association with California based Tesla Motors, which put the world's first electric sports car on the world's roads.

The company claims 200kms range for the 134hp B-Class ED, which goes into production in early 2014.
