The GLC is Mercedes-Benz's best-selling SUV, and now it's available fully electric. The GLC 400 4MATIC electric SUV combines the familiar GLC name and practicality with an all-new EV platform, up to 350 miles of range and some of the fastest charging in its class. Here's what Fresno drivers should know.

Built on a Dedicated EV Platform
The electric GLC rides on Mercedes-Benz's new purpose-built electric architecture. That brings faster charging, better efficiency and a more spacious cabin than an EV adapted from a gas model.
It's one of the new Mercedes-Benz EVs named after its gas counterpart rather than a separate EQ model, part of the brand's move to "EQ Technology" naming. Learn more in our guide to model names.
Fast Charging That Fits a Road Trip
With up to 330 kW DC fast charging, a quick stop of about 22 minutes takes the battery from 10% to 80%. That's about the time it takes to grab a coffee on a drive from Fresno to the coast. The NACS port gives access to Tesla Superchargers as well as other fast chargers.
At home, a Level 2 charger can refill the battery overnight.
