**Minimum charging time at a public direct current (DC) charging station, charging at a continuous rate of 100kW from 10% to 80% battery capacity. Charging times can vary depending on many factors including but not limited to ambient conditions, auxiliary consumables (e.g. seat heating and air-conditioning) and capabilities of charging infrastructure capacity and/or supply.
[1] The declared energy consumption figures and range figures are determined by testing under standardised laboratory conditions in accordance with ADR 81/02. The energy consumption and range figures stated are for the purposes of comparison amongst vehicles tested under the same technical procedures only. Real world energy consumption and range figures may vary and is influenced by many additional factors such as, individual driving style, load, traffic, ambient temperature and vehicle condition.

Charge at home with the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox.
Fully charge the EQA while you sleep at night – the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox Home makes it possible. Charge your EQA with a maximum charging capacity of 11kW*, delivering speeds much faster than at a conventional household power outlet.
*Figures are indicative only and assume a new battery with a starting temperature and outside ambient temperature of 23 degrees Celsius. Figures do not take into account use of auxiliary vehicle functions such as air-conditioning, heating, seat heating and pre-cooling, and displays. Charging times can vary depending on many factors including but not limited to ambient conditions, auxiliary consumables (e.g. seat heating and air-conditioning) and capabilities of charging infrastructure capacity and/or supply.
Stay mobile on long journeys with access to Australia’s largest ultra-rapid EV charging network.
Stay mobile on long journeys with access to Australia’s largest ultra-rapid EV charging network.
For relaxed long-distance trips, you can charge the EQA at all compatible rapid charging stations. In addition, EQA drivers receive a three-year Chargefox subscription and three-years complimentary charging at all Chargefox ultra-rapid stations and participating fast-charging stations*. Chargefox is Australia’s largest EV charging network, which allows travel between Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, with additional stations in Western Australia and Tasmania. Plus it’s expanding exponentially, with an additional 4,000 plugs by 2025.
With Chargefox, you can top-up your EQA at your local charging station while you do the weekly shop, or use an ultra-rapid charger while traveling to reduce the average charging time to the duration of a coffee break. The Chargefox network provides access to the Type 2 Combined Charging System charging standard.
Download the Chargefox app. With hundreds of stations on their network, you can rest assured you’re never far away from a Chargefox station.

EQ&A
Your most important questions on electric driving.
- Real electric range
Why is the real electric range often less than specified?
The electric range varies depending on individual driving behaviour, the route profile and environmental factors. 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 equipment such as seat heating or the climate control system also has an impact on range.
- AC and DC charging technology
What is the difference between AC and DC charging technology?
Basically, the batteries of electrified vehicles can only be charged with direct current (DC). However, all household sockets, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, the innogy eBox professional, the innogy eBox smart and most public charging stations supply alternating current (AC), as do "high-voltage sockets". To make charging possible, vehicles are equipped with an on-board charger – an AC/DC rectifier. It converts the alternating current into the required direct current. It facilitates charging capacities of 2.3 kW to 11 kW – depending on the AC source.
- Environmental friendliness
How environmentally friendly are electric cars really?
How environmentally friendly the vehicle is used depends greatly on your driving 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 a green electricity contract for domestic users is often only a few clicks away.
