Mercedes Electric Car Guide: US Models, Prices and Charging
A Mercedes electric car can be a CLA or EQS sedan, or an SUV such as the GLC Electric, EQE SUV, EQS SUV or G 580 Electric. U.S. listings also include the EQB and 2026 EQE sedan. Check the exact powertrain, model year and local inventory before comparing price, range or charging.
U.S. lineup and prices checked October 24, 2026. Mercedes is moving between generations, so an online model page, an announced vehicle and a car ready for delivery are three different things. This guide separates those situations and helps you build a useful shortlist.
Mercedes electric car lineup: U.S. models and starting prices
The table summarizes Mercedes-Benz USA listings checked for this guide. A listing confirms the manufacturer describes a U.S. offering; it does not confirm that a nearby dealer has that configuration, accepts a new factory order or can deliver immediately.
On a small screen, swipe the comparison table sideways to read all columns.
| U.S. listing / entry variant | Body | Listed base MSRP | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLA Electric: 250+ / 350 4MATIC | Sedan | $47,950 / $50,500 | Electric variants; the lower-priced CLA 220 is a hybrid. |
| EQB: 250+ | Compact SUV | $53,050 | An existing-model listing; check local stock and model year. |
| GLC 400 4MATIC Electric | SUV | $63,500 | A separate all-electric model, not the GLC 350e plug-in hybrid. |
| EQE 320+ SUV | SUV | $64,950 | Compare its exact configuration with the newer GLC Electric. |
| 2026 EQE 320+ Sedan | Sedan | $64,950 | Treat as a model-year-specific inventory/used-car search. |
| EQS 400 4MATIC SUV | SUV | $89,950 | Keep separate from the EQS sedan when comparing space and specifications. |
| EQS 450+ Sedan | Sedan | $101,450 | The flagship sedan family; verify the model year of any quote. |
| G 580 Electric | G-Class SUV | $163,750 | The fully electric G-Class; other G-Class variants use combustion engines. |
These are manufacturer base MSRPs, not out-the-door quotes. Mercedes excludes destination/delivery and applicable government fees, taxes, title, registration and insurance; options and dealer pricing can change the total. Compare written quotes for specific VINs, including equipment and all charges.
Which Mercedes-Benz EV should you shortlist?
CLA Electric: start here for a lower-priced electric sedan
The CLA 250+ Electric is listed at $47,950 with a 374-mile EPA-estimated range; the CLA 350 4MATIC Electric is listed at $50,500 and 312 EPA-estimated miles. That is a useful reminder that moving to another drivetrain can change range as well as price.
Start with the 250+ if its sedan layout fits your needs, then compare the 350 if you want all-wheel drive. Bring rear-seat passengers on the test drive and try your normal luggage. Do not assume a more expensive variant solves a space problem.
Look carefully at the full badge: the CLA 220 Hybrid appears on the same family page but is not a battery-electric car. The price at the top of a mixed-powertrain model family can therefore be lower than the starting price of its electric version.
GLC Electric and EQE SUV: compare two distinct SUVs
The GLC 400 4MATIC Electric is listed at $63,500. It belongs on a shortlist for someone who wants an electric Mercedes SUV, but it should not be confused with a gasoline GLC or the GLC 350e plug-in hybrid.
The EQE SUV remains a separate U.S. listing: $64,950 for the EQE 320+ and $67,450 for the 320 4MATIC. Its similar entry price makes a side-by-side visit worthwhile; the model names alone do not explain which cabin, controls or charging setup you will prefer.
For a family comparison, install your child seats with the seller’s permission, check access around them, and load the stroller or mobility equipment you actually use. Measure the garage opening and charging-cable reach. These checks can eliminate an unsuitable SUV more quickly than a long features list.
EQS sedan and EQS SUV: choose the body before the trim
The EQS sedan is listed from $101,450 for the 450+, with 500 4MATIC and 580 4MATIC versions above it. The EQS SUV starts at $89,950 for the 400 4MATIC, with a 550 4MATIC also listed.
These are separate vehicles, not a sedan with an SUV appearance package. First decide how you need to enter, sit in and load the car; then compare equipment. If a listing promises extra seating, verify the actual seat configuration on that VIN and try it with the intended passengers.
G 580 Electric: a specialist choice
The G 580 Electric is listed at $163,750. Mercedes describes four electric motors integrated into the ladder-frame vehicle near the wheels, a different hardware approach from an ordinary single-motor sedan.
Consider it because you specifically want the electric G-Class, then check its dimensions, charging needs and running costs against your routine. The G-Class family also includes combustion-powered vehicles, so a search result saying only “G-Class” does not establish that it is electric.
EQB and EQE sedan: check the year, not just the page
The EQB page and U.S. vehicle directory still provide a useful starting point for an existing-stock or used search. For a 2026 EQE sedan, the EQE 320+ model page explicitly identifies that model year. Neither page should be read as proof of a new-generation replacement or unlimited factory-order availability.
In October 2026, Car and Driver reported, citing Mercedes that the EQE sedan would not return for the 2027 model year. That is a model-year lineup change, not evidence that every dealer has already sold its earlier cars.
For a leftover new car, ask whether it is untitled stock, a demonstrator or previously registered. For a used car, request the in-service date, service records, battery-condition evidence and the applicable remaining warranty. Our used-EV buying guide explains how to compare the deal beyond the advertised price.
Announced electric Mercedes models are a separate list
Mercedes’ U.S. future-vehicles directory includes the electric GLB, electric C-Class, electric GLA and electric VLE. Treat that directory as an announcement resource, not a local-stock list.
- 2027 Electric GLB: the U.S. preview describes available seating for up to seven and quotes preliminary WLTP figures. Confirm U.S. launch status and the final specifications with a dealer; do not substitute those WLTP numbers for EPA range.
- Electric C-Class: the U.S. newsroom announcement says the C 400 4MATIC Electric is expected at U.S. dealerships in the first half of 2027. It should not be presented as a car you can necessarily collect today.
- Other announced models: use the specific U.S. release for timing, price and powertrain details. A global reveal, concept image or dealer interest form does not establish delivery availability.
Compare range without mixing test cycles
Use the EPA-estimated range for the exact U.S. model year and configuration when one is available. Keep WLTP figures, preliminary manufacturer estimates and measured real-world results labeled separately. There is no single conversion factor that makes them interchangeable.
For your own shortlist, write down the longest regular trip, the likely weather and speed, and where you could recharge. Then compare that route with the car’s specific rating and charging plan, leaving a sensible arrival reserve. Our EV range factors guide explains why an advertised full-charge figure is not a promise for every journey.
Charging: identify the inlet and the adapter direction
Mercedes’ current CLA charging guide identifies J1772 for AC and NACS for DC charging, plus a supplied CCS1-to-NACS adapter for compatible DC chargers.
CCS1-equipped EQB, EQE, EQS and G 580 vehicles use an approved NACS-to-CCS1 adapter at compatible DC stations—the opposite adapter direction. It is not an AC home-charging adapter.
Check compatible Superchargers in the vehicle display or Mercedes-Benz app, with the approved adapter and charging service active. Connector fit alone does not establish access or charging speed.
Charger voltage matters too. The GLC Electric model page lists up to 330 kW and an estimated 22-minute 10–80% session at suitable 800-volt DC equipment, but up to 100 kW at a 400-volt station. These are manufacturer estimates under suitable conditions, not guaranteed stop times.
Before buying home equipment, confirm the car’s AC charging limit and have a qualified installer assess the proposed circuit and installation. Our home charging guide covers planning; our connector compatibility guide explains the broader standards.
A practical comparison to make before you buy
Illustrative buyer scenario: suppose your shortlist is a CLA Electric and a GLC Electric because both fit the purchase budget. Your real question is whether you need the SUV’s loading access enough to justify its total cost, not which badge has the biggest power number.
- Compare the same deal type. Put two purchase quotes or two comparable lease proposals side by side; do not compare a down payment with a full purchase price.
- Price the whole routine. Get insurance quotes, check tire size and replacement pricing, and estimate charging from your actual utility tariff and expected public use.
- Test the interface. Try navigation, climate controls and a charging-stop search. Ask which connected features require activation or later renewal.
- Check the specific car. Confirm its equipment sheet, included charging hardware, service history if relevant and warranty documents. Search its VIN using NHTSA’s recall lookup and ask the dealer about completed and outstanding campaigns.
- Confirm delivery in writing. Identify the VIN or order specification, expected timing and any conditions before treating an advertised car as available.
Choose the Mercedes electric car that fits your use
The right Mercedes electric car is the specific vehicle whose space, charging setup and total cost work for you. Start with the verified U.S. electric variant, compare the exact model year, and confirm stock and equipment with the seller. Keep announced models and older inventory in view without treating them as the same buying situation.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest Mercedes electric car listed in the U.S.?
Among the U.S. listings checked on October 24, 2026, the CLA 250+ Electric starts at $47,950 before destination, options, taxes and other charges. The $43,900 CLA 220 is a hybrid, not the electric version. Check the exact model year and dealer quote.
Are all Mercedes EQ models SUVs?
No. EQE and EQS names have been used for both sedans and SUVs. The body style is part of the model identification, and specifications should not be transferred from one to the other.
Is the Mercedes GLC 350e fully electric?
No. The GLC 350e is a plug-in hybrid. The GLC 400 4MATIC Electric is a separate all-electric offering. Read the full powertrain description rather than relying on the GLC name or the letter e.
Can a Mercedes EV charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Compatible vehicles can use supported Supercharger locations. A CCS1-equipped Mercedes needs the manufacturer-approved NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapter; a native-NACS electric CLA uses a different arrangement. Check the vehicle app or display for compatible stations and follow the exact vehicle instructions.
Is the electric GLB’s 392-mile figure an EPA rating?
The U.S. GLB preview checked for this guide labels its up-to-392-mile figure as WLTP, not EPA. It should not be compared directly with a U.S. EPA rating or treated as a guaranteed driving distance.
Should I avoid a used Mercedes EV because its model is changing?
A model change alone does not establish whether a particular used car is a good purchase. Compare its condition, charging compatibility, service records, remaining warranty and price. Confirm parts and service support with a qualified Mercedes-Benz service provider.
