Everything drivers need to know about Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles

Beginning with the Europe only EQC SUV, the lineup has grown to include electric models such as the EQS, electric parallel to the iconic S-Class large luxury sedan. Mercedes is quickly ramping up the electrification of its offerings, starting with the EQS as the first EV offered under this sub-brand.

Charging Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles

For Level 1 and Level 2 charging, Mercedes-Benz EVs use the industry-standard SAE J1772 connector in North America while DC fast charging is implemented with a standard CCS Combo port. Beginning in 2025, Mercedes-Benz EVs will transition their vehicles to the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, being standardized by SAE as J3400, for Level 2 and DC fast charging. Enel X Way chargers will be compatible with SAE J3400 starting in 2024.

Mercedes-Benz plug-in hybrid line-up

Mercedes-Benz C-Class PHEV

The Mercedes-Benz C350e was introduced for the 2015 model year as the German automaker’s first plug-in hybrid in the US combining a 2.0 liter inline-four and a 6.4 kWh battery in a RWD layout. The C350e provided an all electric range of 9 miles and was discontinued after the 2019 model year.

Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class PHEV

The Mercedes-Benz GLE450e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid provides green credentials to Mercedes-Benz’s popular mid-sized SUV. Combining a 2.0 liter inline-four and 23.3 kWh battery to deliver about 48 miles of range per charge allows the average commuter to drive gas-free on most trips. The addition of 60 kW DC fast charging using its CCS Combo port brings added utility to charging on the go.

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class PHEV

Beginning in 2018, Mercedes-Benz’s single most popular North American model, the GLC, gained a plug-in hybrid variant. Combining a 2.0 liter inline-four and 9 kWh battery, the initial GLC350e achieved 10 miles of range before it was updated in 2020. That year, the compact plug-in crossover gained a larger 13.5 kWh battery giving it a far more useful 22 miles of all electric range. While the GLC plug-in hybrid was discontinued in 2020, there are rumors the updated GLC300e will return for 2024.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class PHEV

Premiered in 2021, the S580e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid was the brand’s first PHEV model, combining a 3.0 liter inline-six and 29 kWh battery to deliver 46 miles of all electric range. Additionally, the S580e 4MATIC benefits from 60 kW DC fast charging. With a combined 510 horsepower and 0-60 mph times of 4.4 seconds, the S580e 4MATIC brings green credentials to a luxury nameplate spanning over 7 generations.
