The electric CLA is the most important EV Mercedes has built, because it's the first affordable one that doesn't feel like a compliance car. It rides on an 800-volt architecture (rare at this price), delivers an EPA-rated 374 miles on the base 250+, and charges at up to 320 kW, adding roughly 200 miles in ten minutes. Starting around $47,250, it slips under the $50k cap for California's MyFirstEV rebate. This is Mercedes finally taking mainstream EVs seriously.
Charging a typical new EV (30 kWh per 100 miles) at home costs about $55 per 1,000 miles at the national average rate, from $38 in Louisiana to $144 in Hawaii (EIA, July 2026). See your state's EV vs gas numbers or run your own.
