Charging and range.

The electric range depends on the individual driving behaviour, the route profile and the environmental conditions. You can travel further on electric power if you use ECO Assist to drive with foresight and take advantage of the recuperation and/or gliding function. The use of seat heating or air conditioning also have an influence on the range.

The batteries of electrified vehicles can basically only be charged with direct current (DC). However, all household power sockets, the Mercedes-Benz Wallbox charger and most public charging stations supply alternating current (AC), as do "high-voltage sockets". An on-board charger is installed in the vehicle - an AC/DC converter - which makes charging possible: it converts the alternating current into the required direct current. Depending on the AC source, charging powers of 2.3 kW to 11 kW are possible.
