Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology charging time by charger power
How long the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 38 hours 38 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 12 hours 9 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 7 hours 44 minutes |
| DC fast | 320 kW | 10% → 80% | 18 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 18 minutes, peaking at around 320 kW. Avg ~208 kW 10-80%; 800V MMA platform, NACS, 85 kWh usable. EV-DB CLA 250+ (matched).
The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 16 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 224 mi of range for $24.48. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $23.40 | -$1.08 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $27.66 | $3.18 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $34.04 | $9.56 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $40.42 | $15.94 |
| > 2500 cc | $48.93 | $24.45 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular gasoline at $4.46/gal. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
