Mercedes-Benz GLC versions
| Version | Battery capacity | Onboard AC | DC peak power | Average consumption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GLC 200 | 85 kWh | 11 kW | 320 kW | 16 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
| GLC 400 4MATIC | 94 kWh | 11 kW | 330 kW | 16.7 kWh / 100 kmWLTP |
Values come from the manufacturer's technical data for the Turkish market. WLTP consumption is measured at the grid and includes charging losses; the cost calculation counts this loss only once.
Versions and values refer to the models sold in Türkiye; equipment and charging power can differ in your country.
Home charging time (20% to 80%)
Charging speed is set by the car's onboard AC charger, not by the wallbox. The Mercedes-Benz GLC takes at most 11 kW with the standard unit; a more powerful charger cannot exceed this limit.

Which cars have V2L?Frequently asked questions
- How long does the Mercedes-Benz GLC take to charge at home?
- From 20% to 80%: with an 11 kW charger GLC 200 (85 kWh) 5 h 9 min, GLC 400 4MATIC (94 kWh) 5 h 42 min; with a single-phase 7.4 kW charger GLC 200 (85 kWh) 7 h 39 min, GLC 400 4MATIC (94 kWh) 8 h 28 min; with a 3.7 kW (16 A single-phase) portable charger GLC 200 (85 kWh) 15 h 19 min, GLC 400 4MATIC (94 kWh) 16 h 56 min. Times depend on the car's onboard AC charger and the battery's state of charge.
- Which charger is right for the Mercedes-Benz GLC?
- Because the car's onboard AC charger takes 11 kW as standard, a three-phase 11 kW wallbox at home gives the fastest charging the car can accept. On a single-phase supply, a 7.4 kW wallbox is usually enough for everyday use.
- Does a 22 kW charger charge the Mercedes-Benz GLC faster?
- Not with the standard 11 kW unit: the car takes at most 11 kW. If your car has the optional 22 kW onboard charger and your supply is three-phase 32 A, yes, and the time roughly halves. Check your registration document or equipment list to see which unit you have.
- How much does it cost to charge the Mercedes-Benz GLC at home?
- At the Ofgem price cap (£0.26/kWh, 10.2026) 100 km costs about £4.21-4.40. At public AC chargers you pay about £8.64-9.02 on average, at DC rapid chargers about £12.05-12.58. Tariffs with cheaper night rates lower the cost further.
- Does the Mercedes-Benz GLC support V2L?
- Yes. The Mercedes-Benz GLC supports V2L (vehicle-to-load). Bemis V2L adapters are made for Hyundai · Kia · Ssangyong, MG, BYD · Skywell, Ford Explorer and Volvo EX30 vehicles; check with the car manufacturer which adapter fits the Mercedes-Benz.
