Charging the Mercedes-Benz EQB electric SUV

Everything drivers need to know about the Mercedes-Benz EQB

As part of Mercedes’ lineup of electric vehicles (EVs), the EQB, based on the gasoline-powered GLB-class SUV, is among the first models of the EQ electric sub-brand. This futuristic, all electric compact SUV can seat up to seven and is available in three models: the EQB 250+, EQB 300 and the EQB 350 4Matic. As a compact electric luxury crossover, the EQB competes against the Audi Q4 e-tron, Genesis GV60 and Lexus RZ.

 

When it comes to tech, the new MBUX infotainment system in the EQB offers touchscreen, voice command, and steering wheel controls for audio, navigation, and other functions. The EQB also includes standard driver assistance features such as lane-keeping assist and automated emergency braking.

The Mercedes-Benz EQB comes in two drivetrain options with a 70.5 kWh battery: single-motor front-wheel drive or dual-motor four-wheel drive. Regardless of selected drivetrain, EQB drivers get access to 9.6 kW Level 2 charging and 100 kW DC fast charging from the vehicle’s CCS Combo port.

 

To take full advantage of quick home charging, Mercedes EQB owners will want to install a 40 amp home EV charger, such as the JuiceBox 40, which has a standard SAE J1772 plug that works with any electric vehicle on the market.
