1992 Mercedes-Benz MB 100 electric drive

In 1992, a demonstration project that was planned to run for four years was started on the island of Rügen to test the latest generation of electric vehicles, in order to gain information about their practicality under realistic conditions. A total of 60 passenger cars and small vans from various manufacturers were used. From Mercedes-Benz, ten advanced 190 and MB 100 units with different kinds of electric-motor-and-battery combinations took part. The vehicles were charged from normal electric sockets and also at gas stations specially equipped with recharging stations where the electricity was generated in part by solar cells. https://it.wheelsage.org/mercedes-benz/mb/100_e/exact/pictures/388503
