The Mercedes-Benz CLA EV is an advanced electric vehicle boasting fast charging capabilities through its 800-volt architecture, capable of charging at up to 320 kilowatts. However, a significant drawback is its inability to use the more common 400V DC chargers, largely available in the U.S. This decision constrains its charging options, particularly for long-distance travel, as most chargers cannot deliver the necessary voltage. Despite the presence of a Tesla-designed charging port, the CLA's practical utility may be compromised by this limitation.
The new CLA can only use 800-volt fast chargers, limiting its usability as most chargers in the U.S. are 400V and thus incompatible.
Despite its advanced 800-volt architecture and Tesla-designed port, the CLA EV's charging limitations could undermine its potential as a leading EV.
