You can make your Mercedes EV go faster for $60 a month

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:19 GMT

(CNN) — Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle owners in North America who want a little more power and speed can now buy 60 horsepower for just $60 a month or, on other models, 80 horsepower for $90 a month.They won’t have to visit a Mercedes dealer to get the upgrade either, or even leave their own driveway. The added power, which will provide a nearly one-second decrease in zero-to-60 acceleration, will be available through an over-the-air software patch.Buyers can bypass the monthly subscription completely, however, and opt for an annual subscription payment or simply pay a one-time flat fee. For instance, a buyer could take an all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 sedan from its standard 288 horsepower to 348 permanently for $1,950.These upgrades are a booming business for car companies. Mercedes is not alone in offering upgrades, or even new features, through over-the-air updates, similar the way software and capabilities can be added on phones. Tesla has offered additiona...

Brexiteers fume as UK dampens bonfire of EU laws

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:19 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. government has poured cold water on long-touted plans for a bonfire of laws inherited from the EU after Brexit — and some Conservative Euroskeptics aren’t happy.During a briefing Monday on the Retained EU Law Bill, Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch told senior Tory Brexiteers that by December 31 the government will only bin 800 — or one in four — of the estimated 3,200 pieces of EU legislation which were automatically added to the U.K. statute book after Brexit.The bill introduces a controversial “sunset clause” that will automatically scrub EU retained laws that have not been changed or repealed by the end of this year. Advocates see that cull as a key Brexit dividend as the U.K. goes its own way, but the policy has been criticized by business groups for creating regulatory uncertainty.Badenoch told the group of MPs that her officials had concluded it is not possible to remove thousands of laws, according to people in the room who confirmed a Daily Telegraph story....
