Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
| Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196) |
|---|
 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 36h15m | 7 mph |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 22h30m | 12 mph |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230V / 1x32A | 7.4 kW | 11h15m | 23 mph |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW | 7h45m | 34 mph |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400V / 3x16A | 11 kW † | 7h45m | 34 mph |
† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.
Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+.
- Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
- Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
- Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
- Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
| Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCS (50 kW DC) | 50 kW | 45 kW † | 69 min | 150 mph |
| CCS (100 kW DC) | 100 kW | 85 kW † | 37 min | 290 mph |
| CCS (150 kW DC) | 102 kW † | 90 kW † | 35 min | 310 mph |
| This vehicle supports Autocharge |

| This vehicle does not support Plug & Charge |
† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle
Autocharge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations.
Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.
Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.
Mercedes-Benz Claimed Specifications
The table below shows the claimed specifications from the manufacturer for charging the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+. The specifications can differ from the table above for a variety of reasons. If real-world charge tests are available, these differences can be signifcant. If no real-world tests are available, the table above will be based on the manufacturer specifications as per the table below.
- Max. Power: maximum charge power during charging session
- Charge From: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is started
- Charge To: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is ended
- Time: time needed for charging session

All about the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ was available from June 2022 until November 2023. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+.
A new model of the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ (2022) is available: Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ (2023).
Pricing
The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £48,890 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £49,750. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ is 140 kW (188 hp). The maximum torque is 284 lb-ft. The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 8.6 seconds. The top speed is 99 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ has a total capacity of 73.9 kWh. The usable capacity is 70.5 kWh. A range of about 260 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 185 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 385 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 7 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 11 hours 15 minutes and a charge rate of 23 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 36 hours 15 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 102 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 90 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 180 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ is about 271 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 149 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will 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 an energy use of around 381 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 183 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
