Mercedes-Benz EQS Charging Time
A 2027 Mercedes-Benz EQS takes about 12.8 hours to charge from empty to full on a 240-volt Level 2 charger, according to its EPA test, and 11.5 to 14 hours across the 2027 trims. On a standard 120-volt outlet it takes about 91 hours. A full charge puts about 131.3 kWh through the plug for 443 miles of range.

Figures for the 2027 EQS 500 4matic. 20% to 80% is a typical daily top-up; 0% to 100% is a full charge from empty.
| Charger | Power | 20% to 80% | 0% to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1, 120 V outlet (12 A) | 1.4 kW | 2.3 days | 3.8 days |
| Level 2, 240 V, 16 A | 3.8 kW | 20 hr 31 min | 34 hr 12 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 24 A | 5.8 kW | 13 hr 41 min | 22 hr 48 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 32 A | 7.7 kW | 10 hr 15 min | 17 hr 6 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 40 A | 9.6 kW | 8 hr 12 min | 13 hr 41 min |
| Level 2, 240 V, 48 A | 11.5 kW | 6 hr 50 min* | 11 hr 24 min* |
* Only if the car's onboard charger accepts that much power. On its EPA test it charged at about 10.3 kW; if that is its limit, a faster wall charger won't shorten the 12.8-hour full charge.

Cost to charge a Mercedes-Benz EQS
A full charge from empty draws about 131.3 kWh from the wall. At 18 cents per kWh it costs about $23.63, and a 20% to 80% top-up about $14.18. The EPA rates the EQS 500 4matic at 29.6 kWh per 100 miles, which works out to 5.3 cents a mile. The US average home rate was 18.16 cents per kWh in August 2026 (EIA); the EV charging cost calculator takes your own rate.
Mercedes-Benz EQS fast charging
DC fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and is far quicker, but the speed depends on each model's charging curve, which slows as the battery fills. That's why fast-charge times are quoted from 10% to 80%. The EPA doesn't test DC charging, so check Mercedes-Benz's quoted figure for the EQS. The EV charging curve guide explains why it slows.
