Charging
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC (electric) can rapid charge at up to 330 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 190 kW, about 21 minutes on a fast enough charger.
At home it accepts up to 7.4 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 14 hours for the largest battery; most top-ups take far less. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.
Real-world range
For the Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC (electric), EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.
Heat pump: available (check whether standard). One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 404 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.
Running costs
At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 (electric) would use about 3,056 kWh and cost about £669 a year to charge (6.7p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year, plus the £440-a-year expensive car supplement in years 2 to 6 because its list price is over £50,000. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.
