The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ ELECTRIC delivers an EPA-estimated 374
miles of range on a single charge. At a compatible DC fast-charging
station supporting up to 320 kW, the battery can charge from 10 to 80
percent in approximately 22 minutes under optimal conditions. Actual
charging times vary with charger capability, battery temperature, and
state of charge. This page covers range and charging for both electric
CLA models, alongside the CLA 220 Hybrid Sedan, and explains how to
check 2027 CLA availability at Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa.
Feature Overview: Range and Charging on the 2027 CLA
The CLA 250+ ELECTRIC is the longer-range choice in the 2027 electric
CLA lineup. The CLA 250+ ELECTRIC is built around an 85-kWh battery
paired with a rear-mounted 200 kW Permanently Excited Synchronous Motor
(PSM). That combination produces 268 hp and an EPA-estimated 374 miles
of range. Actual driving range varies with speed, weather, terrain,
driving habits, and vehicle configuration.
The electric CLA models support DC fast charging at up to 320 kW through
a North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector at compatible
charging stations. For home or public Level 2 charging, the 9.6 kW AC
system uses a J1772 connector and can charge the battery from 10 to 100
percent in approximately 8.75 hours.
The CLA 350 4MATIC® ELECTRIC adds a second PSM motor at the front axle,
delivering 349 hp combined and fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
Its EPA-estimated range is 312 miles on the same 85-kWh battery. Both
electric models share identical DC and AC charging hardware.
The CLA 220 Hybrid Sedan uses a 1.5L turbocharged inline-four engine
with 48V hybrid assistance. It produces 188 hp from the gasoline engine
plus 30 hp of electric assistance and 280 lb-ft of combined torque. It
is not a plug-in hybrid and does not use the EV charging infrastructure
described on this page. Its fuel economy is EPA-rated at 29 city / 39
highway mpg.

How It Works: The CLA Electric Charging System
The battery
Both electric CLA models use an 85-kWh battery. Intelligent
thermal management and a heat pump help manage battery temperature
and energy efficiency in varying conditions. Driving range and
charging performance can still vary with temperature and other
operating factors.
DC fast charging
At a compatible NACS DC fast-charging station, the CLA 250+
ELECTRIC can charge at up to 320 kW, with a 10-to-80-percent
charging time of approximately 22 minutes under optimal
conditions. Actual charging times depend on charger capability,
battery temperature, and state of charge. A Mercedes-Benz CCS1 DC
Fast-charging Adapter is also included for compatibility with CCS1
charging stations.
AC home charging
The onboard 9.6 kW AC charger works with a J1772 connector, which
is compatible with the majority of home Level 2 wall boxes and
public Level 2 stations. A full 10-to-100-percent charge completes
in 8.75 hours overnight. Mercedes-Benz offers a Wallbox as an
optional accessory for the electric CLA models.
Intelligent Energy Recovery
The CLA Electric uses regenerative braking to recover kinetic
energy and return it to the battery during deceleration. DYNAMIC
SELECT drive modes and ECO Assistant help drivers manage energy
use by providing guidance on when to coast or use regenerative
braking.
MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence
MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence is offered as a standard
Digital Extra for seven years on both electric CLA models. It helps plan
charging stops based on the route, battery state, traffic, topography,
temperature, and available charging options. Activation requires a
Mercedes me ID, acceptance of the applicable Digital Extras terms, and
vehicle-account pairing. The 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and
14-inch central touchscreen display this information within the
fourth-generation MBUX interface.
MBUX 4th-generation tech features
2027 CLA Range and Charging by Model
Both electric models carry identical DC fast-charging hardware (320 kW,
NACS) and AC charging hardware (9.6 kW, J1772). The 62-mile difference
in EPA-estimated range reflects differences between the models'
drivetrain and vehicle configurations. Actual driving range also depends
on conditions and vehicle use.
MB.CHARGE Public is a standard Digital Extra on both electric CLA
models. It provides access to supported public charging networks through
MBUX.

Real-World Benefit: What 374 Miles and 22-Minute Charging Mean Day
to Day
A drive from Tuscaloosa to Nashville is approximately 247 miles one
way. With an EPA-estimated range of 374 miles, the CLA 250+ ELECTRIC
offers substantial range for the trip, but drivers should plan for
charging before completing the round trip. Actual range depends on
driving conditions. For daily commuting, drivers with access to
compatible Level 2 home charging equipment can recharge overnight
using the 9.6 kW AC charger. Charging frequency depends on daily
mileage, battery state, and driving conditions.
For longer trips, the CLA Electric can charge from 10 to 80 percent
in approximately 22 minutes under optimal conditions at a compatible
DC fast-charging station. Actual charging times vary depending on
equipment, battery conditions, and other operating factors.
MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence helps estimate battery
requirements and recommend charging stops based on route conditions.
Standard Pre-Entry Climate Control allows drivers to prepare the
cabin before departure. When the vehicle is plugged in,
preconditioning can help reduce initial heating or cooling demand
during the drive.
The standard Acoustic Vehicle Alert System emits an external warning
sound at low speeds to help alert pedestrians to the CLA Electric's
presence.

CLA Electric Range, Charging, and Efficiency Highlights
The CLA 250+ ELECTRIC combines an EPA-estimated 374-mile range with DC
fast charging at up to 320 kW. The CLA 350 4MATIC ELECTRIC offers an
EPA-estimated 312-mile range and the same maximum DC charging
capability. Actual driving range and charging performance depend on
operating conditions.
Both electric CLA models use a two-speed automatic transmission. The
transmission allows the electric drivetrain to operate across different
driving speeds, supporting both acceleration and efficiency.
MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence is offered as a standard
Digital Extra for seven years on both electric models, subject to
applicable activation and service terms.
