Charging from home.
There’s no better place to charge your vehicle than in the comfort of your own home.
Charging on route at a public charging station.
Mercedes me Charge gives you access to a large number of public charging stations across Europe, including IONITY rapid charging stations where you can charge your EQA in just 30 minutes.[2]

- Real electric range
Why is the real electric range often less than specified?
The reach of an electric vehicle varies depending on individual driving style, the type of route and the environmental conditions. You can travel on electric power further if you use ECO Assist to drive with foresight and take advantage of the recuperation and/or gliding function. Auxiliary consumers such as seat heating and climate control also have an effect on range.
- AC and DC charging technology
What is the difference between AC and DC charging technology?
The batteries of electrified vehicles can only be charged with direct current (DC). However, all household sockets and most public charging stations deliver alternating current (AC) as do "high-voltage sockets". To make charging possible, EQ vehicles are equipped with an on-board charger – an AC/DC rectifier – to convert the alternating current into the required direct current. Charging capacities of between 2.3 kW and 7.4 kW are possible, depending on the on-board charger and the capacity of the charging cable (rather than the capacity of the charging station).
- Environmentally friendly
How environmentally friendly are electric cars really?
How environmentally friendly a vehicle is, depends very much on your driving style and charging behaviour. Among other things, the electricity you charge the vehicle with also plays a significant role, i.e.: is it actually being charged with "green" electricity or an energy mix? Many public charging stations are supplied with green electricity, and for private households a green energy deal is often easy to find online.

[1] The indicated values were determined according to the prescribed measurement method – Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP). Figures shown may include options which are not available in the UK. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) require mains electricity for charging, range figures determined with the battery fully charged. Figures shown are for comparability purposes; only compare with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. Figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, factory-fitted options, accessories fitted (post registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load. Further information about the test used to establish fuel consumption and CO2 figures can be found at www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/WLTP.
