Best electric vehicle.

The main focus of this car is about performance and the interior given by the Mercedes. It is one of the best electric car till known. The average of this car is quite good at this range.

Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome

Good very good I bought it 9 years ago and it is working now just like a pro it didn't disappoint me Mileage is fantastic and horsepower is awesome East and West Defender is the best But 1 problem is that is expensive but according to its price it is just fantastic No words for it The waiting period is very much but when you get it you will forget all the other cars and you will again and again just wow! Thank you Have a nice day
