Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long.

About this Vehicle
Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long Overview
The Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long positions itself as a premium electric MPV in the luxury van segment, transforming the iconic V-Class into a zero-emission people carrier for discerning families and executive shuttles. Targeted at affluent buyers seeking Mercedes refinement in a spacious 7-seater format, this Mercedes electric van excels in urban and suburban duties with its elongated body offering vast interior volume—up to 163.5 cubic feet of cargo space when seats are folded. Key distinguishing features include the updated MBUX infotainment with widescreen displays, a sleek EQ-family front grille with LED headlights, and high-quality materials evoking S-Class luxury, all built on a dedicated electric platform for smooth, silent cruising.
In the evolving EV landscape, the EQV 250 Long matters as a sophisticated alternative to mainstream electric SUVs, prioritizing comfort over outright performance for VIP transport or family hauls. Its EV specs emphasize practicality: a Mercedes-Benz electric SUV-like presence in minivan form, modern driver aids like Active Brake Assist, and ambient lighting across 64 colors. While not available in the US, the EQV 250 Long review highlights its role in Europe’s premium electric vehicle range market, blending prestige with everyday usability amid growing demand for luxurious, emission-free vans.
Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long Performance and Driving Experience
The Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long delivers composed, refined performance suited to its luxury shuttle role, powered by a front-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor producing smooth power delivery for city and highway use. Acceleration feels adequate at 11.5 seconds to 60 mph, with 201 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque enabling effortless merging despite the vehicle’s 2,600+ kg heft. Front-wheel drive prioritizes stability and comfort, aided by selectable regenerative braking and DYNAMIC SELECT modes for serene, quiet progress—ideal for family runs or executive transfers, though it won’t thrill driving enthusiasts.
Real-world impressions praise its plush ride quality, minimal road noise, and easy maneuverability in tight spaces, making the EQV 250 Long a refined cruiser rather than a sports van.

Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long Range and Battery Specifications
Official Mercedes-Benz EQV 250 Long WLTP range reaches around 205 km (127 miles), but real-world range typically falls to 122-132 miles based on Green Cars Compare testing, influenced by its 60 kWh usable battery capacity. Energy efficiency hovers at moderate levels for a heavy luxury MPV, with factors like cold weather, highway speeds, and full passenger loads reducing range further—best suited for city duties rather than long hauls. The battery employs proven lithium-ion chemistry, integrated for optimal weight distribution and supporting bidirectional charging potential.
