[edited to correct for usable kWh and link to Tony Williams' points, and a couple of other things.]
Hi - I can't figure out where to post this or whether an answer has been posted. I've been trying better to understand the claims as to the kWh of the Mercedes B-Class Electric vehicle. I think Tony Williams indicates 36 kWh, with 31.5 usable. Is this firm?

One of the things that is confusing to me is this business of opting to charge up to a higher amount. Does that mean that one is charging to 36 kWh or to 31.5 kWh? Is that optionality still part of the car? It seems similar to my 2012 Leaf (I normally charge to 80% but sometimes charge to 100%). I've never really verified - for my Leaf, if I charge to 100%, I'm guessing this is not 24 kWh, but rather charging to ~21 or 22 kWh?
Lastly (and I guess keeping in mind the involvement of Tesla in the Mercedes Powertrain) are there analagous option-to-charge-to-a-higher-amount features on the Tesla Model S?
