Electric cars are not 100% pollution free...biggest fly in the ointment are of course the battery's...the carbon cost of their manufacture and eventual disposal is pretty big ( not as big as ICE car's of course) but it's not something that is overly discussed in the media...all the emphasis being on the "Green" aspect. For now at any rate....I will keep my 2010 E class w212 for as long as I can...presently it has 136701 miles done, on the OM651 engine....so despite the sometimes negative comments about this engine, I will service it regularly, and hope for the best. BTW, what is the max miles anyone on the forum has gotten with the OM651? They can't all be horror story's can they? And in the 2013, is it the same engine, or a different one??
