Indication of real-world consumption under different conditions. Cold weather is based on -10 °C and use of heating. Mild weather is based on 23 °C and no climate-control load. Highway figures assume a constant speed of 110 km/h. Actual consumption varies with speed, driving style, weather and route conditions.

Home and destination charging (0 → 100 %)

Charging can be done from a regular wall socket or from a dedicated charging station. Public AC charging is always done through a charging station. How quickly the vehicle can charge depends on the charging equipment, cable, connector and the vehicle’s onboard charging capacity. The table below shows the available charging options for Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 from empty to full battery.

Norway

In Norway, both single-phase and three-phase AC connections are used, while three-phase charging is common in private and public charging points. The table below lists the possible charging options for Mercedes-Benz CLA 250, but availability may vary by charging operator, installation and region.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charge point	Max power	Power	Time	Speed
Standard 11.0 kW On-board charger
Wall outlet (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	36 h 30 min	13 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	22 h 45 min	22 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	11 h 30 min	43 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	7 h 45 min	63 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	7 h 45 min	63 km/h
Optional 22.0kW On-board charger
Wall outlet (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	36 h 30 min	13 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	22 h 45 min	22 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	11 h 30 min	43 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	7 h 45 min	63 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x32A	22 kW †	4 h	120 km/h

† = Limited by the onboard charger; the vehicle cannot charge faster than this.

Fast charging (10 → 80 %)

Fast charging is used for longer trips and short charging stops. The actual speed depends on charger power, battery temperature, state of charge, battery preconditioning and the vehicle’s charging curve. The table below shows typical 10–80 % fast-charging options for Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 where data is available.

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charge point	Max power	Avg power	Time	Speed
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	50 kW	63 min	320 km/h
CCS (150 kW DC)	150 kW	110 kW †	29 min	710 km/h
CCS (350 kW DC)	350 kW	150 kW †	21 min	980 km/h
CCS (500 kW DC)	353 kW †	150 kW †	21 min	980 km/h

† = Limited by the vehicle’s maximum DC charging capability.

Long-distance suitability

Long-distance suitability is not determined by range alone. Charging speed is almost as important. Battery capacity, efficiency and fast-charging performance together decide how useful an electric vehicle is on longer trips.

To make vehicles easier to compare, Elbil RADAR uses a method called “1-stop range”. It combines driving range and charging performance and estimates how far the vehicle can travel with one 15-minute charging stop. The result is converted into a 0–5 star rating.
