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 300 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 300 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 300 Long.

About this Vehicle
Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Long Overview
The Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Long is a premium electric minivan that brings luxury and practicality to family transportation. Positioned as a high-end alternative to traditional combustion-powered vans, the EQV 300 Long targets affluent families and businesses seeking sophisticated electric mobility without compromising on space or comfort. This electric MPV is built on the adapted W447 V-Class platform, featuring an extended wheelbase of 3.2 meters for maximum interior space. The EQV 300 Long distinguishes itself through Mercedes’ signature design language, including a distinctive EQ-family black panel grille, sleek LED lighting, and a refined interior that elevates the humble minivan concept. With seating for up to seven passengers and a cavernous cargo area, the Mercedes EQV represents a paradigm shift in how premium electric vehicles can serve larger families and commercial fleets.
The EQV 300 Long matters in the EV landscape because it addresses a significant gap: the lack of premium electric minivans. While most EV manufacturers focus on sedans and SUVs, Mercedes recognized the demand for spacious, luxurious electric family vehicles. The EQV 300 Long combines the practicality of a traditional van with silent, zero-emission electric propulsion, making it ideal for environmentally conscious families who refuse to compromise on luxury or passenger capacity.
Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Long Performance and Driving Experience
The Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Long delivers a serene driving experience powered by a single front-mounted electric motor. With 201 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, this electric minivan prioritizes smooth, refined acceleration over outright performance. The 0-60 mph acceleration takes 11.6 seconds, while the top speed reaches 99 mph, making it perfectly suited for highway cruising and family journeys rather than spirited driving. The front-wheel-drive configuration ensures predictable handling and excellent traction in various weather conditions. Multiple regenerative braking modes allow drivers to tailor energy recovery, enhancing efficiency during city driving. Despite its substantial 2,635 kg curb weight, the EQV 300 Long maintains the plush, composed ride quality expected from Mercedes, with the electric powertrain ensuring whisper-quiet operation that creates a serene cabin environment for all passengers.

Mercedes-Benz EQV 300 Long Range and Battery Specifications
The EQV 300 Long delivers an impressive range for a vehicle of its size and weight. The official WLTP range reaches 357 kilometers (221.8 miles), though real-world testing suggests approximately 187-198 miles depending on driving conditions, weather, and driving style. The Mercedes EQV houses a 100 kWh gross battery with 90 kWh usable capacity, utilizing Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) chemistry for optimal energy density and longevity. Energy consumption averages 28 kWh per 100 kilometers (45.1 kWh per 100 miles), translating to approximately 2.08 miles per kilowatt-hour. Real-world range varies significantly based on factors including ambient temperature, highway versus city driving, passenger load, and cargo weight. Cold weather can reduce range by 15-20%, while highway driving at sustained speeds typically yields lower efficiency than mixed urban driving.
