The E-CELL PLUS features a rapid charging option with a capacity of 20 kW, enough power to allow for a 31 mi (50 km) cruising range in about 30 minutes. To achieve full electric charge, a little over an hour is needed, which will then allow the BlueZERO E-CELL PLUS to achieve its maximum range of 62 mi (100 km).

specifications for acceleration and top speed. The
Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO electric drive modular design accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.5 mph) in under 11 seconds, and the top speed is electronically governed to 150 km/h (93 mph) in the interests of optimal range and energy efficiency. Peak torque is 320 Nâ‹…m (236 lbâ‹…ft) and as with all EVs, maximum torque is available from zero rpm.

wheels were also aerodynamically optimized, while the low-friction tires reduce rolling resistance. The character lines along the flanks lend the BlueZERO a dynamic side line and accentuate its nature-inspired structure. Some argue that
Mercedes took a page from the BMW styling handbook with its bionic look.
210:
The technology is uniformly packaged in all three BlueZERO variants. The front end is dominated by the radiator grille with its centrally located star. The aerodynamics of the BlueZERO are partly due to the closed front apron, whose design means that cooling air intakes are not required. The 20-inch

that allows a view of the aluminium structure that makes up the rigidifying frame. In addition, the transparent tailgate provides a view of the vehicle interior, putting the advantages of the sandwich-floor platform in view: the luggage compartment and passenger area remain fully usable since there
222:
The compact rear end of the
Concept BlueZERO is characterized by its curvy taillights. The Mercedes designers also achieved a new-quality light production: transparent lenses that produce a red-light curtain which tapers towards the sides, creating a lightly diffused effect. This effect is repeated

The
Mercedes-Benz designers introduced paint finishes in three new ALU-BEAM colors. Each of the three variants notes individuality: the BlueZERO E-Cell is painted in an ALU-BEAM Yellow, while the BlueZERO F-Cell has ALU-BEAM Green paintwork. ALU-BEAM Orange was chosen for the BlueZERO E-Cell PLUS.

The BlueZERO was a joint venture partnership project between
Daimler and Evonik Industries. Daimler used the battery and hybrid ideas of Evonik Industries to produce this vehicle. Mercedes expanded upon the BlueZERO project with an updated F-Cell roadster called the B-Class in 2008-2009. Original

producing 100 kW (134 hp) (continuous output of 70 kW (94 hp)) that is going to be produced in 2010. This all electric version has a range of 124 mi (200 km) on a single charge, which makes it ideal for city travel and running errands.

The BlueZERO Concept serves as a stand-alone vehicle and was a launching pad for future
Mercedes-Benz hybrid vehicles. The car had a second generation and also had a sister model which was slightly larger called the B-class.

The BlueZERO concept is based on a single architecture, a sandwich-floor architecture, which allows all of the drive components to be located on this sandwich floor design. This makes it possible to obtain a low

Mercedes-Benz BlueZERO has a minimal, almost absent carbon footprint. The BlueZERO is similar to many other hybrid vehicles in the fact that it achieves lower emissions and greater fuel economy than its
