The EQA 250 draws power from a 66.5 kWh usable battery. Official WLTP figures put combined energy use between 15.7 and 17.9 kWh per 100 km with zero tailpipe CO2. Real-world range sits around 350 km under mixed conditions. city driving stretches it further. An 11 kW AC charger is standard. DC fast charging peaks at 100 kW and reaches 10-80 % in about 30 minutes.
Service intervals are set at 25 000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. The ASSYST PLUS system calculates the exact due date from driving style. Because the car is fully electric there is no engine oil change. checks focus on brakes, suspension, battery cooling, high-voltage components and cabin filters. Brake wear is low thanks to strong recuperation.
Crash protection matches the B-Class structure that underpins the EQA. Euro NCAP awarded five stars with 97 % adult-occupant and 90 % child-occupant scores. Seven airbags including a driver knee bag are standard. Active Brake Assist, lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring and speed-limit assist come as standard. higher packages add more advanced radar cruise and 360-degree cameras.
Daily ownership is simple: the heat pump uses drive waste heat for cabin warming, cutting winter energy draw. Battery warranty covers eight years or 160 000 km. Tyre and brake costs remain the main consumables. software updates arrive over the air or at the dealer. Keep the charge port clean and follow the service schedule to protect the high-voltage system.
