Mercedes EQC 400 4MATIC Home Charger Installation Home Charger Installation

The battery of the Mercedes EQC 400 4MATIC has an estimated total capacity of 85 kWh. The usable capacity is 80 kWh. A range of about 230 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 165 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 330 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 8 hours 45 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 12 hours 45 minutes and a charge rate of 18 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 41 hours.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 112 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 100 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 40 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 160 miles of range.
